Ahead of COP26, Eliot Whittington, Director of the Corporate Leaders Groups, caught up with Colin Matthews, Non-Executive Chairman of EDF Energy, to explore the challenges and opportunities in decarbonising the energy sector - and what outcomes he would like to see from the landmark climate summit.
