AVAILABLE ON DEMAND: edie’s climate emergency Q&A webinar

The webinar will take a live Q&A format

The four panellists discussed the huge challenges and opportunities behind net-zero carbon targets, and the reaction to the UK Parliament becoming the world’s first government to declare a climate emergency.

— LISTEN TO THE Q&A WEBINAR HERE —

Now available on demand and hosted in association with Ørsted, the one-hour session explored how the business energy landscape could and should change between now and the net-zero target year of 2050; with a specific focus on the industries and areas that will require the biggest transformations to cut carbon.

The Committee on Climate Change’s ‘net-zero emissions’ report was released against a backdrop of protests and a growing youth climate strike movement. And it was swiftly followed by the UK becoming the first country to declare a ‘climate emergency’.

So, what does all of this mean for energy and sustainability professionals?

There are no presentations. Instead, this webinar was a live Q&A format, with the audience submitting question in advance and during the session itself.
