The Just Energy Transition Podcast

The Narrative of the Just Energy Transition

The Science is clear: We must phase out fossil fuels to secure a livable world. But how can we inspire transformational change to our energy systems at the scale required to meet the climate challenge? Could a more hope-based story advance progress towards solutions? It is our belief that the sharing of ideas and innovations through successful just energy stories will promote conversations, connections, new thinking and learning of how everyone can take local action to make massive positive change. Listen and discover the power of conversations worth having and stories that connect us all.
