In this episode, we widen the focus of our lens to discuss the UK’s green recovery and the opportunity presented by offshore renewables. We bring together leading voices on climate change and renewable energy to discuss the UK’s future green recovery. With ‘Green Recovery’ a hot topic and the country facing years of after-effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, our guests outlined where the opportunities lie for offshore renewable energy – and the action needed to realise them.

ORE Catapult's Head of Communications Lee Madigan is joined by an August panel of guests to examine the question from the policy, technology and societal points of view.
