About this seminar
This special edition of our workshop series brings together researchers working at the interface of climate risk and industrial decarbonisation, with dynamic presentations spanning emissions reduction in heavy industry, corporate exposure to extreme weather, nuclear decommissioning and flood risks in supply chains.
The presentations will be followed by an internal workshop from 16:00 to 17:00, focused on translating research into policy and action. If you would like to take part in the workshop, please contact Niels Kunz (ndk34@cam.ac.uk).
