From risk adverse to risk aware: transforming your net zero strategy into action

Today, four critical megatrends are steering the evolution of the UK’s energy market: the drive for net zero, the need for energy resilience, the necessity to upgrade power and heat transmission and distribution assets, and the arrival of new forms of energy, such as hydrogen. 

Anticipating the impact of these megatrends must underpin how you take your net zero plans from strategy to delivery. Dr Jean-Yves Cherruault will explore why they should be embedded into your delivery-led decarbonisation strategy – so that your organisation can become risk aware, not risk adverse, on the road to net zero.
