In Season 3 of The Clean Energy Revolution, Laura Young and Dr. Carolyn Kissane explore the people, policies and projects that are leading the transition to clean energy.
How can infrastructure around the world be upgraded to keep up with energy demand? What needs to happen to triple global renewable energy generation? Where and how will AI be best deployed?
Delving into these questions and more are Laura Young, aka Less Waste Laura - an award-winning climate activist, environmental scientist and ethical influencer - and Dr. Carolyn Kissane, Associate Dean of the graduate programs in Global Affairs and Global Security, Conflict and Cybercrime at the Center for Global Affairs at NYU, and Founding Director of the Energy, Climate Justice & Sustainability Lab.
Accompanied by expert guests, they’ll take a look at the challenges and opportunities associated with renewable energy, including the impact on people and communities, how to make sure everyone benefits from the clean energy transition and what businesses can do – and are doing - to lead the way.
National Grid sits at the heart of the clean energy transition, helping the UK and US to reach net zero carbon emissions by operating and investing in large-scale energy projects, technologies and partnerships on the journey to a cleaner, greener future.
