- Taking a blended approach to decarbonised energy generation
- The role of hydrogen in the future energy mix
- The challenges around decarbonising heating
- Closing the adaptation and resilience deficit to ensure infrastructure can withstand the rising risks linked to a changing climate
It also examines measures that could help incentivise investment in low carbon energy, including:
