In this week's episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I had the pleasure of Chatting with Jeremy Bentham, Co-Chair & Senior Advisor at World Energy Council. Jeremy brings a wealth of knowledge from his extensive background in the energy sector.

๐Ÿ” Key Highlights:

  • A Personal Responsibility: Jeremy laid out five actionable steps that each of us can incorporate into our daily lives to make a tangible difference
  • Driving Change through Supply Chains: 8 key supply chains cause over 50% of emissions? Targeting these is vital
  • The Tesla Phenomenon: We discussed the role of Tesla in the EV market - how one company's vision can disrupt an entire industry
  • Policy & Demand โ€“ The Dance: Jeremy articulated the delicate interplay between policy-making and market demand
  • Sectoral vs. National Approach: We talked about interventions at the sectoral level. Recognising unique challenges within sectors, be it aviation or steel, is key

And finally, ever heard of the Dodo Club? It is Jeremyโ€™s latest initiative - a newsletter and a call to action for those who refuse to go the way of the dodo.

Thanks to Jeremy for this deep dive into our role in shaping a sustainable future.

As ever, be Climate Confident.

(P.S. - My hat's off to Jeremy, even if he wishes he had one like mine! ๐Ÿ˜‰)
