Julian Mark Allwood is a British academic known for his work in climate mitigation and metal forming.
[4] He worked for 10 years for Alcoa before starting his academic career at Imperial College, moving to Cambridge in 2000.
He was the creator and director of STEM outreach project, 88 Pianists, in which primary school children were invited to invent mechanisms to allow 88 people to play one piano simultaneously in order to break a world record.
Allwood was a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's Fifth Assessment Report[10][11] with a focus on mitigating industrial emissions.
Of particular note are statements that there is currently no zero emissions way to fly, ship, eat beef and lamb or use cement, and so for some period of time, these activities must cease completely.
