Exciting technological innovations are happening in the areas of emissions reduction, as developed countries strive to meet national and international climate change mitigation targets. But in the face of an economic slowdown, difficult choices will have to be made.

Is there a winning technology? On what basis should we be making decisions?
What is the role for carbon tax and subsidy in this? And what about public support?

A panel of experts and different stakeholders from government, industry, not for profit and academia will discuss and debate the merits of technologies such as CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage), Smart Grids, battery charging infrastructure and tidal energy generation among others in creating a greener, more sustainable Britain.
