The biggest contributions in terms of emissions don't come from business and industry, but they come from residential. I also think it's important to talk about the skills constraints here. We need to be taking the right decisions and doing the right things now to retrain those people. There is huge potential for green jobs growth here, but only if we make the right decisions in the next year or so.
On this episode of The Sunday Debate we have the first instalment of The Great Energy Transition, a new series from Intelligence Squared in partnership with Cummins. As leaders and representatives from around the world gather in Egypt for COP27, we’re asking - what is happening between now and 2030 to achieve net zero?. We’re joined on this episode by Jonathan Wood, Vice President of Engineering at Cummins, Lucy Yu, CEO of Octopus Energy’s Centre for Net Zero and Dr Chris Greig, leading researcher on net zero energy transitions at Princeton University. Our host for this series is physicist and broadcaster, Helen Czerski.
