Welcome back to Sustainability Uncovered - the monthly show for anyone working in or passionate about environmental sustainability.
This episode is all about the practicalities of rolling out renewable energy across the world.
How has the energy transition outlook changed since nations set a big 2030 renewable energy deployment goal at COP28 in 2023? How many businesses have installed rooftop solar? And which regulations are easing the adoption of renewables?
We put these questions to our three expert guest speakers:
- Bruce Douglas, CEO of the Global Renewables Alliance
- Robert Guilmartin, Kingspan’s general manager for renovation and solar energy solutions
- Simon Booth, CEO of Zestec Renewables
Your co-hosts this episode are edie's content editor Sarah George and senior reporter Sidhi Mittal.
