How can business capitalise on the energy opportunity?

Delivering the next stage of emissions reduction through the 2020s will require coordinated action across society, business and the government. The North, with its unique physical and industrial infrastructure and history of powering the industrial revolution, has the opportunity once again to step forward and lead this change.

In this podcast, hear from CBI Director Sarah Glendinning as she speaks to Andrew Hodgson, North East Local Enterprise Partnership; Anthony Browne, Northumbrian Water; and Glen Hodges, Northern Powergrid to discuss:

  • How the region can capitalise on the energy opportunity and compete globally
  • What skills are needed to deliver the energy transition
  • The opportunities and challenges your firm might face when setting a Net-Zero target
  • What business wants to see from government policy ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Summit in 2020.
