Public Seminar: Decarbonising the UK, 20 Years Later
An online public seminar from the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research explores how the UK now uses less energy than almost anyone anticipated 20 years ago, but opportunities to act on this potential were largely missed.

Event details
Join us for an online public seminar with Dr Gaurav Gharde, lead researcher and author of the ‘Decarbonising the UK Revisited’ report, which was launched at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research’s Critical Decade for Climate Action Conference in September 2025. He will be joined by discussants Professor Steve Pye from University College London (UCL) and Yuxuan Chua from Warwick University. The event will be chaired by Asher Minns, Executive Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research.
The 25th-anniversary report looks back at the Tyndall Centre’s own energy scenarios that were published in 2005, and the two decades since of Tyndall Centre energy research.
By comparing the 2005 scenarios of future energy with the energy changes that have happened, Dr Gaurav Gharde and co-authors reveal where foresight was limited, where assumptions proved over-ambitious, and where genuine transformation was underestimated.
