Making Sense of COP26

In The Clean Energy Revolution from National Grid, Helen Skelton explores how we’re all part of one of the most incredible revolutions in human history. In this special episode Helen’s reviewing the commitments and pledges made by nations at COP26 earlier this month. The global climate change conference saw world leaders, organisations, businesses and citizens meet in Glasgow to discuss the next actions in reaching net zero carbon emissions. So what does this mean for deforestation, resource use, fairness and international collaboration? And how does the energy we use in buildings, homes, infrastructure and transport have a crucial role to play in making it all possible? Find out why limiting global warming is key in protecting our world from the devastating impacts of climate change and hear how we can all play our part. Helen speaks to guests from Hitachi, Reckitt, SSE, Scottish Power and Natwest for their takes on what big business is doing to make a difference. And we hear from the public on their impressions of the conference too.   Useful links: https://www.nationalgrid.com/stories/journey-to-net-zero-stories/working-smarter-get-net-zero https://ukcop26.org See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
