We are excited to announce Professor Frank Convery – founding director of the Earth Institute, University College Dublin, and expert on the low emission transition in Ireland’s agriculture sector – as next up for our international speaker series.

So far in our series, we have visited the UK – and now we’re heading over to the EU. Frank has a wealth of experience - he has led the European Union's research networks on market-based instruments and emissions trading, and worked on Ireland's Climate Change Advisory Council.

Frank’s impressive career means this is a speaker not to be missed. Ireland's agricultural economy is export led, and Frank has focused on understanding the likely evolution of climate policy in some of its key markets - the European Union, the US and the UK - and what this could mean for market access and consumers in the future.

Join Frank and Commissioners Catherine Leining and Dr Harry Clark as they discuss the role of agriculture emissions in the transition to a low emissions future, the similarities between Ireland and Aotearoa and leading the way on climate action.

Climate change is a global challenge. This is the second in a series of open Zoom sessions with international experts who have been leading climate action in their respective jurisdictions.
