Hi - where is Part 2 and Part 3? I can't find the links, thanks!

We will never do any of this,

Julie Hudson makes our work better.

Informative, insightful and enriching summit indeed.

Comments turned off: How to Save the Planet: Degrowth vs Green Growth? Don't like dissent eh...

A very insightful session! Thanks for posting online

F*ckthe Great reset

F*ckthe Great reset

Sustainable Finance, Snake Oil. Especially inside a vicious dog-eat-dog neoliberal society, nothing is sustainable. Trust a gutted old institution, to peddle such ideas while ignoring all biophysical limits and carrying capacity of the earth. Sustainable Finance Zombie Summit

Why are comments switched off for the Hickel/Fankhauser degrowth discussion? I think it’s important to debate it.

promosm 🙋

Can I study this with a Bachelors in Tourism and Hospitality management? I am interested

Recording from 12 April 2022

Perfect timing to introduce this very important program by Oxford - definitely a much needed platform for the passionate professionals to drive the Net Zero and Sustainable Development agenda home. Kudos!

Hi

Mark nailed this,best explanation I've ever seen. As a survivor / veteran of the carnage of Metronet, Thameslink and some Crossrail early days. The wrong leadership across the life of a job is an intriguing and so true issue.

Character In the video It's great, I like it a lot $$

you only speak of final energy, when the main problem is primary energy

Опять народ в пирамиды тащат?))))

Reduction and Removal: it is not a great problem, if we plant seedlings in barren lands and allow growing to the rotation age.

Build Back Broke!

Bilderburg back better.

A lovely follow-up discussion would be "Are Project Controls as typically deployed on megaprojects fit for purpose?". For instance, how useful is it to model iterative development tasks using linear scheduling tools like P6? Or what about maturity of knowledge...tunneling under London used to be a trip into the unknown, but knowledge gained during JLE, CTRL, NLE, TTW along with better TBMs has significantly improved matters to the extent that emergent challenges in digital integration are the more proximate risks - at what point do the imported historical concepts of what is risky get retired? And as Project Directorship style migrates from Sheriff to Physician, what has replaced the machismo confrontation piece - can people really speak their mind, or are the consequences of speaking up or admitting error still ultimately likely to result in career disruption, sidelining, or some other form of 'cancellation'.

1. Don't set fixed end date. Talk about the window of Uncertainty 2. System Integration has to be centralised and controlled. Value system integration as a contact spot. 3. Design Modularity is the key. Make sure the design is modular and testable offsite. 4. Making sure the right teams are looking at the right risks with shifting in time (e.g. Aggregated system integration risks ended up being almost 10 times riskier than the delivery of TBM drive through 30m below London.) 5. Most importantly is the human element. The transition from collaboration to something higher --> Owning the whole. Having complete transparency and line of sight.

Being has a tendency to 'return' to clusters ='the nature of solidarity' -a desire for empathy -(Wave)-(yin) and also, Being has a tendency to 'exist' as individuals ='the nature of self-expension' -a desire for breed-(Particle)-(Yang) Likewise, humans have two elements. We must realize that we all have both left and right elements =Solidarity and Self reliance No one has only one element. so 'Sum' derived from 'two poles' , (thesis, antithesis, synthesis) To develop intellect and ethics by harmonizing the two, It is good to realize it and balance it properly But A few people polarized the crowd(political partisanship) without balancing themselves. And They stole only the sum, only the synthesis from the triangle composition. Now We all have to get out of this deceptive situation. This is not the time for us to hate each other. We have to track down those who have been manipulating us.

Break Backs Better.

What is NDP? What has happened to the depreciation of Durable Consumer Goods since Sputnik? What has planned obsolescence done for GDP? Throw junk away to buy more junk while ignoring the depreciation of the junk.

hello, is it a online course?? iwould like to join if more info can be provided

Hi, do you please have a link for the slides / paper on this? the presenation is great but doesn't show the graphics...

fascinating. a must see, in a quite moment, when you can concentrate and THINK

Wonderful lecture by Michael Liebreich. Excellently presented. It goes without saying that the information here is obviously not long term favorable to the Middle East, Russia and other countries that are too heavily dependent on oil based revenue. There are business opportunities here galore.

Very informative, well-articulated and easy to follow presentation. Two points I disagree about, that were mentioned in the Q&A: *_Usage of the death per energy unit of nuclear vs coal_* 1:31:58 I think this metric is highly misleading because the relatively small amount of people getting harmed by nuclear ignores the fact that the _potential harm_ is astronomically higher than the numbers suggest. Chernobyl and Fukushima were bad, but nuclear could potentially kill millions of people as soon as one considers unlikely scenarios like large-scale wars in an area where nuclear power plants are located, or the things that might happen to human society over the course of the next few millennia. So the security of nuclear plants and repositories is only as high as the imagination of the engineers that build them. Do I think that nuclear will harm millions or even billions of people in the near future? Hell no, otherwise I should be upset about the lack of any concise plan to deflect Near Earth Objects that could hit our globe and potentially wipe out humankind the very same way as it happened to the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago. So there is clearly a trade off and a compromise to be found with current situation. However, the argument of harmed people by nuclear should be used very carefully, because from there, It's just a small step to claim that more people died by falling of a rooftop when installing a solar array... *_I cant see a reason [other than those risk related concerns] why nuclear should be phased-out (paraphrased)_* 1:35:00 Isn't the basic point that variable and non-dispatchable (aka intermittent) renewable energy sources are not compatible with base load power? Isn't it the case, that most nuclear power plants around the world can't ramp up or down their power output more than a few percent... and, in addition, they only do this very slowly? What is needed are nimble peak generators using bio or natural gas, not nuclear to compensate for the _intermittency_ of wind and solar, otherwise the percentage share of wind and solar in the overall energy-mix will be restricted to ensure the stability of the electrical grid. Restricted by how much? Well. I read that about a 20% contribution of solar and wind is doable in most western European energy markets; above that limit, any extra capacity from these renewable sources will destabilize the grid if no additional storage is available. Moreover, old nuclear plants (as most of them are) are completely written off, the O&M cost are quite low, and externalities such as waste storage or insurance cost are not factored in. Even considering subsidies, I was surprised to learn that Germany has spend €54bn for renewables so far, but spent €187bn on nuclear, as well as €177bn and €65bn for hard and brown coal since the 1970s. __Recent Facts about Photovoltaics in Germany, p.23_ www.ise.fraunhofer.de/en/publications/veroeffentlichungen-pdf-dateien-en/studien-und-konzeptpapiere/recent-facts-about-photovoltaics-in-germany.pdf
