Gas Is Our Ally: Why the gas revolution can help fight climate change

A high level event with the Minister for Energy, Rt Hon Greg Barker MP; 30th June 2014

On Monday 30th June, ResPublica will be hosting Rt Hon Greg Barker MP, Minister of State for Energy and Climate Change, who will be delivering a keynote speech on how the gas revolution can help put the UK on track to the low carbon future that we desperately need.

In the context of global climate emissions and with next year’s UN climate talks in Paris just around the corner, political leaders both domestically and internationally are identifying how to act to combat climate change. The Minister will address the potential role of both conventional and unconventional gas in helping to reduce global emissions.

We would be delighted if you could join us for this event, which will include an expert panel discussion with Dan Byles MP, Chair of the APPG on Unconventional Oil & Gas, preceding the keynote address. Following this will be a Q&A session with the Minister and the panel. Our audience will consist of carefully selected guests, which will include Parliamentarians, industry leaders, commentators, academics, research institutes and journalists.

The event will run from 1:30pm to 3:15pm on Monday 30th June 2014, and will be hosted in the a Westminster Location (to be confirmed upon registration). It will conclude with the opportunity to network with guests.
