It has been a big year for energy and climate developments already even though we are only just over the halfway point.
From the fallout of the energy price crisis to the beginnings of a “green gold rush”, there has been plenty of energy transition news to report on and analyse: How is industry actually going to decarbonise? What is going on in transport? And what can we expect from the end-of-year COP summit?
These are just some of the points considered in this week’s show. To round up these big talking points and look ahead to the milestones, Sam is joined this week by fellow FORESIGHT journalist Kira Taylor.
