Britain generated more electricity from renewable and nuclear energy in 2017 than from gas and coal, marking the first year that low-carbon resources have met most of the UK's power needs. In this revision webinar we will be looking at some of the synoptic aspects of the growth of renewable energy with particular reference to the UK but also linking to aspects of development economics.

Could this have transformation effects on the growth and development prospects for many nations?
