WATCH: Achieving net zero is a bit like writing and performing a symphony, argues BusinessGreen editor in chief James Murray in his Net Zero Festival 2023 opening speech

Building a net zero emission economy inside three decades is a bit like a writing, practicing and conducting a symphony - albeit a hugely complex one with numerous challenges along the way, argues BusinessGreen editor in chief James Murray.

Watch back his keynote speech opening last week's Net Zero Festival 2023 below. James Murray's speech can also be read in full here.

While this year's event may have drawn to a close, the Net Zero Festival will be back in force again in 2024 - so sign up here to stay in the loop on the plans for next year's event.
