Watch 'Navigating turbulent times' episode four: ‘Net zero and sustainability in a post-COVID world’

The fourth episode of our webinar series, ‘Navigating turbulent times’, was recorded live on Wednesday 13 May with hundreds of attendees hearing from our expert panel as they discussed ‘Net zero and sustainability in a post-COVID world’ and took viewers' questions.

• Greg Davies: chair, IWFM Sustainability SIG
• Toby Morgan: LED program manager, The Climate Group
