First Event in the Series: Fit for Revolution?

When

Wednesday, March 31, 2021
10:00 am - 11:00 am (Luxembourg)

Our panelists will discuss how our existing institutions will need to evolve to support the 'Green Industrial Revolution'.

To realise the ambition of a "Green Industrial Revolution" our existing institutions need to think and act differently, so how will they do so? Chaired by Liz McRobb, a Partner from our energy and natural resources team, we invite you to put your questions to our panel, which will comprise Dermot Nolan, Director at Fingleton and former CEO at Ofgem, Nick Fincham, Director at Skylight Consulting and Chair of the Regulatory Policy Institute, and Gordon Downie, a Partner from our regulation and markets team.

In discussing these fundamental institutional challenges, we will aim to cover the following areas:
  • use of markets to deliver climate policy goals;
  • political and legal accountability; and
  • consumer participation and engagement.
