The Centre for Energy Ethics, in partnership with Greener Vision, opened the exhibition of The Tabula Project with a private reception evening at the Boiler Room in the St Andrews Botanic Garden on Monday 13 October.
This exhibition represents a milestone in the Project, bringing together more than three decades’ worth of reflections on the nature of the climate and energy crises which humanity now faces and inviting responses from students, policymakers, industry insiders and academics. The opening reception included a welcome from the Master of United College Professor Ineke De Moortel, CEO of Greener Vision Claire Haigh and CEE Director Professor Mette High.
“I am delighted to be working with the Centre for Energy Ethics on this next phase of The Tabula Project.” said Claire Haigh, “The world needs to deliver drastic greenhouse gas emissions reductions against the backdrop of a growing populist backlash. At a time that the once strong UK cross-party political consensus on net zero has fractured, we urgently need a better informed, evidence-based and balanced public debate.”
On the exhibition, CEE Director Professor Mette High added, “It is really exciting to be partnering with Claire on the Tabula Project where she challenges us all to explore the mindset that has led us to today’s climate emergency. And she asks us to consider how we can think differently for the future. It’s a hopeful project but it is also a pragmatic project that transcends political viewpoints, calling for consensus-building on climate commitments”.
The exhibition, which includes three roundtable events, three drop-in ‘Socratic dialogue’ sessions, and both in-person and virtual galleries will be running from Monday 13 until Friday 17 October. The virtual gallery will be available until the end of the year.
