Climate change was high on the agenda at the G7 summit. And it’s likely to remain there as we prepare for COP26 in November. As more companies sign up to net zero targets, we take a look back at progress so far in decarbonising the UK energy market. And we ask, what lessons can we learn to help power the way to net zero?

To help answer that question, we discuss the key findings of a new report from KPMG and energy company SSE, ‘Hindsight is 2050 Vision’.

On this month’s podcast
