Transforming Tomorrow Masterclass Series: Dr Sam Gardner
About
This masterclass is with Dr Sam Gardner, Head of Climate Change and Sustainability, ScottishPower.In the last 20 years the UK power sector has undergone a huge transformation, from coal power domination in the late 80s to being the first G7 country to meet growing electricity demand without an operational coal plant. As we look forward to record investment in energy infrastructure, how do we ensure renewal delivers for people, nature and places, against a backdrop of a changing climate which demands greater resilience and adaption to new extremes?
Come along to join the conversation, and find out more.
