Let's level on Net Zero

About this episode

Tone Langengen discusses the economic and political realities surrounding the Net Zero agenda and its implications for energy and growth.

This week the herd is joined by  Tone Langengen , Senior Policy Advisor at the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, who argues that the centre-left must face economic and political reality and realise that people won’t back Net Zero unless it means cheaper energy and credible growth. Has this agenda become a moral badge rather than a workable plan and can that shift without abandoning climate ambition? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
