Dr Emily Shuckburgh OBE is a hugely respected climate scientist and communicator, who as director of Cambridge University's Cambridge Zero Programme, is working to put the world leading institution on a path to net zero emissions.
A former head of data science at the British Antarctic Survey, and the co-author of a recent book on climate change with the Prince of Wales, Shuckburgh has vast experience and knowledge of the physical impacts human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are having on the planet.
At BusinessGreen's recent Net Zero Festival, Shuckburgh provided the scientific case for a net zero emissions, highlighting key data showing the sheer urgency, challenge and benefits of shifting away from a high carbon to a low carbon economy.
