"This calls for nothing less than a complete transformation of how we produce, transport and consume energy," notes the IEA. The Net Zero goal is to keep the increase of global average temperature below the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius above the late 19th-century baseline. The IEA outlines an energy transition trajectory to cut global carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels to zero by 2050. The European researchers behind the new study do an in-depth analysis of how much land and sea area it would take to implement the Net Zero by 2050 roadmap devised by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in 2021. As a December 2022 study in Scientific Reports shows, turning off this carbon-free energy source is incredibly short-sighted for combatting climate change and protecting natural landscapes. Until 2011, the country obtained one-quarter of its electricity from 17 nuclear power plants.

Established in 2018 as a way to help discover and nurture emerging writers, the prize has gone from strength to strength ever since, with live entertainment giants Ambassador Theatre Group coming on board as main partners last year, and Time Out Group providing funding for a new series of runner-up prizes. The money raised from the event supports Platform Presents’ annual Playwright’s Prize. ‘But the best stories, like life, are often absurd and chaotic.’ It will also be a great night out – and with 35% off ticket prices for Soho House members, one that’s not to be missed. Those writers – who’ve played their part in penning modern classics from The Death Of Stalin and Veep to Midsomer Murders – have each been assigned a scene and briefed on the plot as a whole, but were not allowed to read what comes before or after their own section.Īdd 16 leading stage and screen actors – Denise Gough, Robert Bathurst, Sacha Dhawan, Jade Anouka and Freddie Fox among them – who have just one day to rehearse the entire show into that mix, and the stage is set for this ‘play about making a play’ to take some unlikely (and hilarious) turns. ‘I remembered playing the game of Consequences as a child and thought about how fun it could be if instead of drawings we involved seven top-notch writers.’ ‘I was trying to come up with an original idea that encompassed storytelling, writers, hilarity, fun, would raise awareness of how brilliant writers are, and why we should support them,’ says Macpherson. The one-off performance – directed by Oliver Chris and Katie-Ann McDonough – features some of the UK’s finest writing and acting talent working today. That’s what Isabella Macpherson, cofounder of production company Platform Presents, was trying to tap into when she developed the idea for Theatrical Consequences, this year’s instalment of the annual fundraising gala, which takes place at London’s Savoy Theatre this week. But what if you turned that idea on its head, so that very risk – the idea that anything could happen – was the point? Most of the time, however, every effort (careful planning, multiple rehearsals) is taken to mitigate that risk and ensure the show goes ahead exactly as intended. Every live performance carries an element of risk.
