Live from edie 26: Will the UK’s accelerated energy transition be climate-resilient?

With seasons shifting and extreme weather events becoming more frequent and severe, are businesses and policymakers properly considering climate adaptation needs when deploying clean energy? Find out in this new podcast episode from edie. This discussion was recorded live at the edie 26 conference in central London in March 2026, where more than 950 ESG professionals and business leaders convened for two days of inspiration and co-creation. Zurich Resilience Solutions Energy UK’s head of strategic innovation, Sean Grundy, and Zurich Resilience Solutions’ climate resilience specialist, Daniel Keir, are in conversation for this episode, which is chaired by edie’s acting content editor Matilda Cox. The duo set out why resilience is key to delivering a revitalised, future-fit energy transition in the UK – and how achieving this involves coordinated action. Keir says: “Climate disruption is happening now. It's not a theoretical scenario in 2050 and beyond. “We know the core climate impacts and we know they're getting worse. But ultimately, there's not enough attention, action or investment happening on adaptation or resilience.”
