Meeting description: To discuss with the member of the Climate Change and Land Reform committee the need to mitigate climate change by among other things transitioning from high-carbon energy generation to sustainable lower-carbon forms. Also how knowledge about and practical skills in physics is vital for the physicists Scotland will need to design and the engineers we will need to build and maintain the infrastructure needed to achieve this; and how to use public and political discussions about tackling climate change to link this with and highlight the need for physics knowledge and skills.
