Following Investec’s Energy Transition conference last month, Harold explains why he feels optimistic about the UK’s energy transition – provided we start thinking holistically.

Investec’s Energy Conference in London on April 25th promises to be a fascinating event, with Ian Marchant delivering a keynote speech: The Energy Transition – Keep Calm and Carry on, followed by a discussion with a set of leading industry experts. Ahead of this, Harold reflects on what the transition means. He suggests we seek a broad context to answer that question, integrating various viewpoints. Otherwise, narrowly-focussed interests may create widely-based catastrophic outcomes.

Cities have driven innovation and trade throughout history. In his latest update, Harold considers why our urban centres must continue to adapt to benefit civilization.

In today’s blog, Harold considers the impact of methane release into the atmosphere, and explains why eliminating rogue emissions is a ‘no brainer’ for the fossil fuels industry.

In his first blog of the New Year, Harold is joined by Investec colleague Angela Ekwu. They consider some of the implications of the recent COP 15 Biodiversity Conference in Montreal and the UN Secretary-General’s metaphor of a war on nature.

Ahead of the Christmas season, Harold reflects on snowflakes and the clues within them for corporate strategy and our market economy.
