​Myles Allen joins the Countdown

Countdown is a global initiative to champion and accelerate solutions to the climate crisis, powered by TED and Future Stewards, aiming to turn ideas into action by supporting a series of cross-sector projects. Each project will set specific goals and drive fresh commitments and action in the lead-up to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in 2021.

Myles Allen was among the leading thinkers at the virtual launch event on 10 October 2020. He suggests how oil and gas companies can progressively decarbonise themselves instead of a total ban on carbon-emitting fuels and still reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 by creating a carbon dioxide disposal industry that works for everyone.
