DESCRIPTION:Energy and climate policy is fast-moving and involves many int
 erlocking elements.  The term ‘Transformation’ is often overused\, but
  even before COVID and the Russian invasion of Ukraine\, the energy market
  was already undergoing a once-in-a-century transformation in both supply 
 and demand: (i) dramatically falling costs of renewables such as wind and 
 solar\; (ii) tectonic shifts in energy markets such as the US shale oil an
 d gas revolutions\; (iii) digitalisation meeting century-old wires and net
 works\; (iv) unprecedented interest in electric vehicles\; (v) growing pub
 lic concerns over and (v) the urgency of climate action as agreed as trans
 lated into net-zero commitments by many countries and companies\, which ha
 s pushed climate and energy issues front and centre. There is no single vi
 ew of how (and whether) net zero gets implemented and so we will explore d
 ifferent sides of these issues. The high-level overview of the drivers and
  barriers to climate action can hopefully provide insights into future dir
 ections and key trade-offs regarding the major decisions that will be need
 ed on the pathway forward.
