2025 Fleagle Lecture: Steve Davis on Overcoming the Key Barriers to Net-Zero Emissions (11/06/25)
Posted: 10/30/2025 (Local Events)
Join the UW Department of Atmospheric and Climate Science for the 2025 Fleagle Endowed Lecture featuring Steve J. Davis, Professor of Earth System Science, Stanford University. The lecture will be held in Kane Hall, Room 210 on November 6, 2025 from 7:00-8:30 PM.
Over the past decade, the focus of climate mitigation has shifted from incremental progress to achieving true net-zero emissions. This talk explores the hardest-to-abate sources of greenhouse gases—why they’re so challenging, and the most promising solutions emerging today. Drawing on recent research into net-zero pathways for the power sector, transportation, heating, and industry, the presentation highlights what we’ve learned and what lies ahead. Attendees will gain insight into how evolving technologies, geopolitics, and global ambitions continue to shape the path toward a stable climate.
This event is free and open to the general public. A recording of the lecture will be available to those who register for the event.
