What will the future bring?
Episode 6, Oct 10, 2022, 01:10 PM
What does the future hold? In this sixth podcast, we explore what the future holds, looking at the social impact of energy transition, natural capital and emerging technologies in the energy mix.
As part of this episode, we talk to three young people who are passionate about the environment and we discuss the future with Chandra Gopinathan, a Senior Investment Manager, Sustainable Ownership at Railpen and David Hunter, CIO at Renewity.
We explore the topic of social impact during the energy transition as the mix of energy generation changes over the next few years, which will have an impact on many sectors. We also look at how we get to a ‘just transition’ – and how do industries get to a ‘just transition’?

Perfect can’t be the enemy of good – and our debate explores why the transition needs to be balanced and flexible to move in a fair and just manner. Recent events between Russian and Ukraine have also placed energy in the spotlight, especially the impact on affordability and energy security – we explore what does this mean going forwards?
We spend time looking at unpacking renewables and looking at both opportunities and challenges. When then pivot to natural capital and look at what the Task Force for Natural Capital reporting standards mean.
We close by looking at emerging technologies.
