2024 is likely to be the year of elections, with just under half of the world’s population expected to head to the polls, according to Bloomberg. That includes major players in energy and climate, like the US, India, the EU and, potentially, the UK.
These elections will take place in a world where the climate crisis and the energy transition are becoming ever more apparent in people’s lives, but also where the political climate around these topics is growing more difficult.
