Podcast: Is economic growth at the expense of net zero targets?

Gas
February 12, 2025

In this episode of The 1895 Podcast, we pose the question ‘is there a trade-off between economic growth and net zero?’

Tune in to hear insights from Dimitri Zenghelis of the London School of Economics and why he believes that there is no inherent trade-off.

We look at the potential for decarbonisation to drive efficiency and innovation – leading to economic growth, highlighting the significant opportunities presented by the energy transition.

We also discuss the role of private investment, the importance of government support in facilitating this transition, and the need for coherent policies that send clear signals to investors to ensure a successful shift towards renewable energy and sustainability.
