The New Statesman’s Energy and Climate Change conference is a day of insights, discussion and debate featuring leading lights from policymaking and industry. Together, we will explore the future policy and politics of energy, environment and climate change.
With the climate crisis, global conflicts and the drive towards net zero at the forefront of global politics, the New Statesman’s Energy and Climate Change conference will provide a vital opportunity to examine what the future of energy and climate change policy could look like in the UK and what the future holds as the government puts green growth at the centre of its agenda.
The UK Government hopes to re-establish itself “as a climate leader on the global stage”; and it powers ahead with plans to create a secure, affordable, and efficient energy system. But where, if any, are the gaps in policy and what is government doing to support industry through a fair transition? And with the mass industrial change pushing on, how can we ensure that the opportunity to reshape the UK's energy system is grasped in a clean, green and sustainable way?
Taking place on Tuesday 28th April, our third annual conference will bring together experts, politicians and industry leaders from across Westminster and beyond.
We will examine key topics including energy security, land usage, sustainable development, the role of innovation and technology in the clean energy transition, green skills and finance, and how we can create green jobs and deliver vital economic growth. We will also take a status check on the UK’s net zero progress and commitments.
