In this week's episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I had the pleasure of Chatting with Jeremy Bentham, Co-Chair & Senior Advisor at World Energy Council. Jeremy brings a wealth of knowledge from his extensive background in the energy sector.

🔍 Key Highlights:

  • A Personal Responsibility: Jeremy laid out five actionable steps that each of us can incorporate into our daily lives to make a tangible difference
  • Driving Change through Supply Chains: 8 key supply chains cause over 50% of emissions? Targeting these is vital
  • The Tesla Phenomenon: We discussed the role of Tesla in the EV market - how one company's vision can disrupt an entire industry
  • Policy & Demand – The Dance: Jeremy articulated the delicate interplay between policy-making and market demand
  • Sectoral vs. National Approach: We talked about interventions at the sectoral level. Recognising unique challenges within sectors, be it aviation or steel, is key


And finally, ever heard of the Dodo Club? It is Jeremy’s latest initiative - a newsletter and a call to action for those who refuse to go the way of the dodo.

Thanks to Jeremy for this deep dive into our role in shaping a sustainable future. 

As ever, be Climate Confident.

(P.S. - My hat's off to Jeremy, even if he wishes he had one like mine! 😉)
