Expect bold conversations on:

  • The UK’s net zero legislation and evolving policy landscape

  • The role of infrastructure in delivering a just transition

  • How political narratives shape business strategy

What You’ll Gain

  • Strategic insight into UK net zero policy

  • Awareness of how political forces may affect climate outcomes
