Episode 12: Harnessing Offshore Renewables to Drive the Green Recovery

In this episode, we widen the focus of our lens to discuss the UK’s green recovery and the opportunity presented by offshore renewables. We bring together leading voices on climate change and renewable energy to discuss the UK’s future green recovery.
