Taking place on Thursday 15 July, the Clean Energy and Transport Forum is a brand-new event that will connect energy and sustainability leaders from all major industries with policymakers, industry bodies, NGOs and net-zero carbon experts, to discuss what it will take to fully decarbonise our energy and transport systems.  

The full-day event will include high-level keynote talks about how governments and businesses can advance the transition to clean power and zero-emission mobility; interactive panel discussions focused on the opportunities presented by COP26 to accelerate change in these areas; and a choice of expertly facilitated workshops to spark new business ideas and actions on the road to net-zero.

Countdown to COP26 Festival

The Clean Energy and Transport forum is part of edie’s Countdown to COP26 Festival. Supported by headline partner O2, the Countdown to COP26 Festival kicked off last month with a successful first event which took an overarching look at what a successful climate summit looks like.

The event – which is now available to watch back on-demand – incorporated high-level keynote talks about how governments and businesses can elevate their climate ambition, action and advocacy; interactive panel discussions focused on key COP26 themes across energy, transportation and land use.

The Festival events programme will be supported by a plethora of articles, interviews, blogs, reports and guides delivered by edie’s award-winning editorial team.
