Net zero – are we moving fast enough?
Manage episode 431205055 series 3576697
On this episode of the Clean Energy Pod we discuss how the UK is striving towards net zero and why all is not lost in the fight against climate change. We are joined by Michael Grubb, Professor of Energy and Climate Change at the University College London. And Alistair McGirr, SSE Group Head of Policy and Advocacy. We're making progress, but are we moving fast enough to meet our 2030 climate change targets? Michael and Alistair share what they think needs to be done in UK, and around the world to reach net zero.
The Clean Energy Pod, powered by SSE, is your guide to the people and technologies delivering the clean energy transition.
This recording took place on Wednesday 24 April 2024, before the UK general election.
