The UK has a legally binding target to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050. Achieving this bold aim will transform the UK economy and society as a whole. In this talk, Juliet Davenport will explore what we need to do to reach zero emissions within a generation. She will draw on two decades of experience in the energy industry, from founding one of the UK’s first renewable power companies to her roles on some of the country’s leading research institutes.
