Hutton Series on Climate Change at Panmure House
The Hutton Series on Climate Change is a series of events taking place across 2020-21 at Adam Smith’s Panmure House, bringing together a diverse cross-section of experts, business leaders, scientists, and concerned citizens in the service of one simple aim: to identify ten key priorities, innovations & actions to mitigate the climate crisis.
Report from session 1 (Tuesday 6 October) is available here.
The second session is on Tuesday 1 December, 2-4pm: the Response from the Financial Sector. Keynote speakers for this second session are Keith Skeoch, Chairman of Aberdeen Standard Investments Research Institute, and Kirsty Hamilton, former Director of the Low Carbon Finance Group. Each will talk for 5 minutes, before taking questions and participating in a debate panel, led by Professor Heather McGregor (Executive Dean, Edinburgh Business School, Heriot-Watt University).
This event will be hosted virtually by Panmure House and simultaneously live-streamed as an interactive webinar via Facebook and the Panmure website. The broadcast will be recorded and readily available on-demand up to 48 hours after the live event.
