2020 was one of the most tumultuous years for global energy in modern history. What actually happened? How surprising was it? What did we learn about the functioning of the energy system? And what messages does it contain for the energy transition and the path to net zero?
Spencer Dale, bp’s chief economist, launched the bp Statistical Review of World Energy, after which expert commentators reflected on ‘the path to net zero: opportunities and challenges for COP 26’.
Giulia Chierchia, bp’s executive vice president strategy & sustainability, was joined by Nigel Topping, UN climate action champion for COP26, and Paul Bodnar, managing director, global head of sustainable investing at BlackRock. They focused on some of the lessons and messages from the past year ahead of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in Glasgow this November. The conversation was be moderated by author and Financial Times journalist Gillian Tett.
