The politics of net zero is changing. The term itself falling out of favour.
According to the media, the consensus is fraying at the edges, with Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch banging the anti-net zero drum at every chance they get.
And yet, beneath the surface there is still a relative amount of agreement. Labour, the Lib Dems, SNP, Plaid Cymru, and the insurgent Greens all agree that climate and clean energy are core to the UK's future.
So what's changed? With our guest Harry Shackleton (Inflect) we look at how fractitious modern politics is bleeding into the net zero debate, the weak leadership of Starmer, and what lessons can be learned from the likes of Zohran Mamdani in the US on delivering a message effectively.
The show is hosted by Sulaiman Ilyas-Jarrett, former senior government advisor and Policy Fellow at the Cambridge Centre for Science and Policy.
