The landscape for mitigating transport emissions was radically transformed during 2015, as stumbling oil prices forced to review everything from the economics of oil to the implications for policies and strategies. Anthony Hobley, Carbon Tracker’s CEO, will be speaking at the launch of a European Climate Foundation report on this topic, debating Oxford Professor Dieter Helm.
