This episode we explore Positive Impact. UCLB is helping to create a new generation of businesses from UCL academics specifically with positive societal impact at their heart. The commercialisation process can be a long road requiring financial, legal, and practical support. Nigel Campbell meets two inventors, Buffy Price Co-founder and COO of Carbon Re, an AI and Climate Tech company spinout from UCL and Cambridge, and Professor Pete Coffey from UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Founder of Tenpoint Therapeutics; both who are on that journey on how their inventions might improve our future world. We also talk to Dr Anne Lane, CEO of UCLB to find out how UCLB finds the bright ideas which will improve lives, and what it takes to scale to a point where they are having true impact.

How can economic policy be used to address global warming? The first lecture will cover the basic natural-science background, collected into a set of important “stylized facts”. Taken together, these facts strongly suggest that we should limit the emissions of greenhouse gases significantly, but leave open how to best achieve this goal. The second lecture will address the “how” and argue that economic analysis offers very useful tools to this end. It will thus use these tools to compare the pros and cons of different kinds of policy suggestions and end with a discussion of the climate policy strategies adopted in the EU and in the U.S.
