IIOA Xmas Webinar – Dr. Anne Owen Wednesday, 20th December 2023, at 3pm-4pm CET

We are excited to welcome you to the upcoming IIOA Xmas Webinar scheduled for Wednesday, December 20th, 2023, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM CET. We would like to extend our gratitude to Dr. Anne Owen for hosting this Christmas-themed webinar (e.g. wearing a Christmas hat) during the holiday season.


SHORT BIOGRAPHY & RESEARCH BACKGROUND
Dr Anne Owen is an Associate Professor at the Sustainability Research Institute, University of Leeds, UK. Anne’s research focuses on the environmental impacts associated with household consumption, how different types of households contribute to climate change and what actions households can take to reduce their impact. For the past twelve years Anne has calculated the UK’s consumption-based emissions account for the UK Government and this is now an Official Statistic reported annually. Anne’s work has been published widely with recent highlights including assessing carbon footprints from large scale financial transaction data and being quoted widely in a Guardian article on high impact lifestyles.



TOPIC

Title: Bridging the gap between research and policy: lessons learned and future recommendations

Abstract: Dr Anne Owen reflects on a decade providing outputs from consumption-based accounting to National and Local Government, businesses and the third sector. She identifies the mismatch between what MRIO databases can calculate and what is required by policymakers as evidence for Net Zero targets and shares experiences of recent work advising how MRIO carbon multipliers can be (mis)used in calculating Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions for businesses.
