Professor Sir David King is a former UK Chief Scientific Adviser and a leading figure in international climate policy. He has advised multiple governments on climate science, emissions reduction and technological innovation. David currently chairs the Climate Crisis Advisory Group and has been a strong advocate for urgent, science-based climate action.

Let’s suppose we could achieve net-zero emissions tomorrow. Of course, that’s impossible… but if we could, would the ice stop melting in Greenland? No. Greenland is already melting irreversibly. We need more action now. And there are four essential Rs for the future of humanity: reduce, remove, repair and resilience.
