Join Peter Harper, Director of Research and Innovation at CAT and pioneer of the alternative technology movement, for a lecture on the potential for a zero carbon world.

Peter relates technological ‘hardware’ with social and personal ‘software’. He runs his own home as an experimental ‘lifestyle lab’ and teaches at universities around the world.

Governments are setting targets for reducing greenhouse gas by 60 to 80 per cent over the next 40 years.

Recent climate science suggests this is not enough - 100 per cent in 25 years might be required.

Is this remotely possible? How might it be done? With what technologies? How would we design a zero-carbon modern economy – what about lifestyles, food, travel, housing, infrastructure, employment, leisure? Would it be a nightmare? Does it offer opportunities for a revitalisation of society?
