## The IMechE’s Energy, Environment, and Sustainability Group presents the annual David MacKay Memorial Lecture – this year presented by Shaun Fitzgerald, Director of the Centre for Climate Repair at the University of Cambridge.

The lecture will firstly summarise exactly where we are with climate change and crucially what the scientists are now considering in terms of the future. A future based purely on emissions reductions cannot keep the world below 1.5C.
We discuss some of the exciting ideas for greenhouse gas removal, and importantly going beyond terrestrial-based carbon dioxide removal. We will explore some of the approaches for marine carbon dioxide removal as well as the development of materials to accelerate the rate of oxidation of methane.
