Is clean energy good for growth?
Since the 2008 crisis the UK has seen persistently sluggish growth, even compared to comparable advanced economies. Low investment, Brexit, and challenges in traditionally strong sectors have held the economy back for close to two decades.
Now with the energy transition underway, is this an opportunity to improve the country's prospects? Or is a constraint on an already struggling economy?
Our guest this week is Andrew Sissons, Director for the Sustainable Future Mission at Nesta, and a leading commentator on economic growth and climate change.
Alongside our host Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett, former senior government advisor and Policy Fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy, Andrew breaks down why the UK economy has struggled so much, and how clean energy could be part of its recovery.
