In the sixth episode of our series on science, policy and a green recovery, our host Dr Rob Doubleday is joined by University of Cambridge's Professor Sir Richard Friend, Director Winton Programme for the Physics of Sustainability and two early career researchers based at Cambridge University, Winton scholar Jesse Allardice and the Department of Engineering's Karla Cervantes Barron. Throughout the episode, we explore the science behind energy transitions, learn about the science behind solar panels, and explore the potential future role for the UK as we transition to a focus on renewable energy sources.

This series is produced in partnership with Cambridge Zero.
