Introducing Energised from Intelligence Squared, made in partnership with Iberdrola, where we explore the most pressing issue of our time: the climate crisis. Temperatures are set to rise more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels in the next two decades. Scientists say that such an increase would cause irreversible damage to our planet. But is there still hope? If humans are to blame for climate change, then we must also provide the solutions.
Join us as we bring together experts and policymakers to delve deep into the key issues at the heart of the global drive towards net zero and the innovations that promise to accelerate the energy transition and transform the way we live.

It’s make or break time for the planet. That was the warning issued by the UN ahead of COP26 in Glasgow in November 2021, when leaders and heads of state from all over the world met to agree on global action to fight climate change.
The main goal was for them to commit to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century with interim targets by 2030. But what were the chances of success? Very little, if previous summits were anything to go by.
In this conversation, Kamal Ahmed was joined by Chief Executive of Scottish Power Keith Anderson and Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford Dieter Helm to explore whether COP26 would make a serious contribution to the fight against climate change.
This event, in partnership with Iberdrola, was recorded on October 28 2021, and was produced by Feyi Adegbite with editing by Mark Roberts.
