Abstract

We discuss ten key priorities, innovations and actions to mitigate the climate crisis. These priorities were identified by the Hutton Series on Climate Change, which took place across 2020–2021 at Adam Smith’s Panmure House. The Hutton Series brought together a diverse cross section of experts, business leaders, scientists and concerned citizens in open discourse around energy, climate change and resource use and availability. The priorities highlight the increasing need for reasoned debate and action between industry, NGOs, government and the public.
