| Description | Achieving Net Zero was created to raise awareness and encourage viewers to explore the often-complex challenges ahead. The topics are presented through information graphics, supported by this website, which provides links to all the research material used to create the posters. Achieving Net Zero came about after a long discussion in the summer of 2023 about the country’s energy crisis between friends Iain Morrison and James Njuguna. It quickly became clear that while there is a wealth of information on sustainability, renewable energy, and net zero, much of it isn’t easily accessible to the general public—or, more importantly, to people like Iain as a parent of two teenagers. This sparked the idea that a lecturer in communication design and an engineering professor could use information graphics to explain key concepts in a more engaging and accessible way. Aberdeen Science Centre have invited Achieving Net Zero to show a selection of posters at their venue from early 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity for Achieving Net Zero and RGU to work with the Aberdeen Science Centre and their schools programme which supports primary and secondary education in the region, with a range of exciting workshops, shows, digital offerings and resources that look at energy and sustainability.
