Benj Sykes

Polly Billington, a climate campaigner and MP, joins energy expert Benj Sykes from Ørsted and Daisy Powell-Chandler, Head of Energy and Environment at Public First. They discuss the current challenge of reconnecting climate action with public priorities like jobs and energy security amidst rising costs. The trio debates the effectiveness of the term 'net zero' and suggests a focus on the energy transition narrative. They also examine the importance of local benefits, the impact of political discourse on investments, and framing decarbonisation as a national security priority.
