Winners, Losers, and What’s Next on the Road to Net Zero
On 7th October, Earth Set will take a discerning look at the UK’s journey to net zero.
How are we really doing on the big business verticals: power, transport, buildings, industry and removals?
Which sectors are on track, which are lagging, and where does the greatest need — and opportunity — lie for innovation, investment and policy?
This session will cut through the noise with data and analysis to highlight what’s working, what’s not, and what needs urgent focus from the climate business community.
We’re joined by:
Emily Nurse, Head of Net Zero at the Climate Change Committee
Dave Jones, Global Insights Programme Director at Ember
📍 Location: Octopus EV HQ, UK House, 2 Great Titchfield St, London W1D 1NN
🕡 Time: 6:30–9:00pm (inc. drinks + nibbles) -
