Engaging consumers for a just transition
21 May 2024
Utility Week Forum Keynote Stage
It’s a simple fact that accessing low carbon technologies is easier for consumers on a higher income – but to ensure a successful transition to a net zero economy, everyone must be engaged, and everyone must benefit, at all levels of society. Rebuilding consumer trust, educating consumers on pollution, and encouraging customers to embrace sustainable, low carbon technologies to assist in the energy transition is essential.
Join this session to debate what we mean by a ‘just transition’, and discover how it can be achieved.
