Fusion energy promises a step change in the way the world鈥檚 future energy demands are met in a low-carbon, safe and sustainable way.

That will be the message from scientists and engineers from the fusion energy community to world leaders meeting in Glasgow at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) COP26 conference.

UKAEA will be running a series of events at COP to tell policymakers and other delegates about fusion and its place in the future energy mix.

On Friday 12th November, the last day of the conference, an international panel is inviting world leaders to look towards a fusion-powered future. 皇冠体育app panel, in the UK Pavilion, will be led by Bernard Bigot, Director General of the ITER international fusion project, and speakers will include UKAEA鈥檚 Director of Materials, Amanda Quadling. 皇冠体育app event is at 11.30am-12.30pm.

皇冠体育app previous day, the same panel, plus British astronaut Tim Peake, will appear at a side event at the University of Edinburgh from 2.00-3.00pm. 皇冠体育app panel discussion will give local students the chance to ask the experts about fusion.

For COP26鈥檚 鈥榊outh Day鈥� on 5th November, UKAEA scientist Chantal Nobs will take part in an International Atomic Energy Agency event. 鈥楴et Zero Beyond 2050鈥� will particularly focus on the young generation鈥檚 role in fusion energy research and innovation, followed by a Q&A session.

Throughout the conference, UKAEA and international research partners from the private sector will have a fusion exhibit in the 鈥楪reen Zone鈥� at the Glasgow Science Centre, allowing members of the public to find out about fusion energy.
