The journey to net zero is one of the defining economic, technological, and societal transformations of our time. While governments, investors, and businesses have made significant commitments to decarbonisation, the path forward remains complex. Accelerating climate ambitions must be balanced against competing pressures including energy security, affordability, supply chain constraints, technological readiness, regulatory uncertainty, and geopolitical change. This session will explore the key obstacles that continue to slow progress towards net zero and examine the practical solutions emerging across sectors. Bringing together industry leaders and technical experts, the discussion will include the realities of financing the energy transition, addressing critical skills shortages, and improving project delivery.
