COP21 and the post-Paris Energy Transition
Venue: Keighton Auditorium, University Park Campus, Nottingham University
Sir David King is and a exponent and leader on practical governmental actions to tackle the climate crises. He lead the launch of Mission Innovation in 2015. Sir David was at an event I photographed in Nottingham to talk about how we can avert climate change. The fascinating lecture centred around the collaborative programme project between 22 countries spending $22bn pa on R&D to deliver post-fossil-fuel era technologies. He continues work directed towards alerting governments and institutions around the world to the dangers of the escalating climate crisis and the urgent need for a committed programme of 'climate repair'.

The Foreign Secretary appointed Sir David King as his new permanent Special Representative for Climate Change in 2013. Sir David was previously the Government’s Chief Scientific Advisor from 2000-2007 during which time he raised awareness of the need for governments to act on climate change and was instrumental in creating the Energy Technologies Institute. Sir David was knighted in 2003 in recognition of his efforts in the climate change debate. He plays a key role in spearheading Mission Innovation, launched during the COP21 Climate Conference along with Bill Gates and world leaders, aiming to unite public and private stakeholders to solve climate change.
