Enabling the transition to Net Zero – why is it important and what do we need to do?

This podcast is part of the Future Focus - the UK at Expo podcast series created in collaboration with the UK Pavilion at Dubai Expo 2020

In this podcast episode, host Mark Jamieson, Institution of Civil Engineers, Middle East and Africa Council Member, and PMKConsult Vice President, talks to Zoe Knight and Martyn Link about how, looking to the future, we will live but, more specifically, the transition to net zero. The wide-ranging conversation looks at why this is important, what we need to do to accomplish this goal and the role of sustainable finance in partnering with and supporting these initiatives by mobilising capital for net zero solutions.

Zoë Knight set up and leads the Centre of Sustainable Finance at HSBC, a global think tank finding real economy and finance solutions for sustainability challenges, particularly climate change. Martyn Link is the Chief Strategy Officer for Wood Plc. A scientist by training, he works to shape energy transition to create a low carbon and sustainable future. Crucial to helping the world achieve net zero targets is the creation of a finance system which is correctly aligned to and supportive of efforts to build the net zero economy.
