Description:

The RAC Foundation and Royal Automobile Club invite you to an afternoon of discussion on the contribution to be made by drivers and the car industry in the UK's efforts to tackle climate change. Six years after the King Review of low-carbon cars called for significant technological and behavioural changes, what has actually happened? How does the decarbonisation of road transport measure up against progress being made in other areas?

The event will also be used to highlight the key findings from a soon to be published Ricardo-AEA report for the RAC Foundation on the carbon reduction potential of various power trains and fuels, and their likely market share.

The event will be chaired by Tom Heap, former Transport, Environment and Science Correspondent for BBC News. Confirmed contributors include: Lord Deben – Chair, Committee on Climate Change; Professor Dame Julia King - author of the King Review of low carbon cars; Richard Parry-Jones, chair of the Automotive Council; and Doug Parr – Chief Scientist and Policy Director, Greenpeace UK.

The full invitation can be viewed here. The event is free upon prior registration though places are limited. Please email events@racfoundation.org.
