This oil and gas crisis is being compared to the 1970s.
But in this clip, @chaitanyakumar.bsky.social from @neweconomics.bsky.social explains how renewables are making this one different, softening the blow for some countries this time around.
Full #GAevent recording is live on our YouTube.
Years of maximum North Sea extraction under the previous Conservative government. But just 36 days of UK gas demand met.
As @tessakhan.bsky.social, executive director of Uplift, told us at our #GAevent - calls for more drilling to improve energy security show a misunderstanding of this crisis.

🌍 #GAevent this Tuesday | What did the budget mean for the environment?
Labour’s second budget signalled big shifts for the UK’s green agenda. But what exactly does this mean for climate action and a fairer economy?

We asked @dharavyas.bsky.social, CEO at @energy-uk.org.uk, what rebuilding the consensus on environmental action means. Here’s what she said💡 #gaevent #environmentalconsensus
Next up, we asked @pippaheylings.bsky.social why it’s so important to restore the political consensus on environmental action. Here’s what she said👉 #gaevent #environmentalconsensus
Why is consensus on environmental action so important?
We asked Asad Rehman, chief executive @friends-earth.bsky.social, at our conference on Tuesday. Here’s what he said.

Q: Is this plan good enough?
@liamkhardy.bsky.social: I don't envy the government's position […] My personal view is no, there are some gaps.
@lydiacollas.bsky.social: It's fine, it's all in the delivery. If everything is delivered then we'd be on a good track to hitting our targets.
#GAevent
"It's so important to have this document that brings all the policies and their outcomes into one place, but it doesn't have a whole lot of new information. We don't have something like this for 30 by 30 on nature, [and we should]."
@lydiacollas.bsky.social, head of natural environment
#GAevent
"There's a couple of new promises here, particularly on landfill methane and looking at methane emissions on imported goods. But there's a lot more work to do on methane."
@liamkhardy.bsky.social, head of research
#GAevent
"Very pleased to see the publication of the government's methane action plan last week, something we've long called for."
@liamkhardy.bsky.social, head of research
#GAevent
"We're hoping the government might be able to bring forward business models for electrification in the same way they have for hydrogen and CCS."
@liamkhardy.bsky.social, head of research
#GAevent
"Projected savings from fuel switching are one of the only things to have actually increased in emissions savings on from the last plan. A lot of that comes from electrification, but it's not entirely clear how it's all going to happen."
@liamkhardy.bsky.social, head of research
#GAevent
"CCS and Hydrogen production are actually considerably down. Movement on the technology has been quite slow, other tech has taken their place in some places."
@liamkhardy.bsky.social, head of research
#GAevent
"Some of the ambition has been absorbed into that as polices have progressed. But also partly to do with how industry has evolved over the last few years."
@liamkhardy.bsky.social, head of research
#GAevent
"Reiterating the message that the savings from the listed polices is lower on industry and methane. That's, as Johann said, partly to do with the baseline change. "
@liamkhardy.bsky.social, head of research
#GAevent
"The government seems to have moved away from public funded bioenergy crop, which is positive."
@lydiacollas.bsky.social, head of natural environment
#GAevent
"Numbers are a bit less ambitious than the previous plan, partly due to being perhaps more realistic about what's achievable, partly some reduced ambition, and partly to do with policy change."
@lydiacollas.bsky.social, head of natural environment
#GAevent
"Farmers need to be supported."
"Join up between departments does seem to be better in this plan."
@lydiacollas.bsky.social, head of natural environment
#GAevent
"There is a mention of methane suppressants which would deliver the largest emissions cuts available to the sector but aren't backed up by current concrete policy yet."
@lydiacollas.bsky.social, head of natural environment
#GAevent
"This includes largely the same instructions on farming and land use as in the previous plan asides from one new measure on biomethane."
@lydiacollas.bsky.social, head of natural environment
#GAevent
"It just covers domestic emissions in the plan, so not food that is imported."
@lydiacollas.bsky.social, head of natural environment
#GAevent
"Farming and land use have been slower than other sectors to decarbonise than other sectors."
@lydiacollas.bsky.social, head of natural environment
#GAevent
"On aviation, there's no single reference to the Jet Zero Strategy which indicates that thinking could be changing behind the scenes here."
@johannbeckford.bsky.social
#GAevent
"The attention to active travel modes is welcome but not nearly as large as it should be."
@johannbeckford.bsky.social
#GAevent
"The ZEV mandate is still the single largest emission saving policy in the climate plan."
