Welcome back to Sustainability Uncovered - the monthly show for anyone working in or passionate about environmental sustainability.

This episode is all about the practicalities of rolling out renewable energy across the world.

We put these questions to our three expert guest speakers:
- Bruce Douglas, CEO of the Global Renewables Alliance
- Robert Guilmartin, Kingspan’s general manager for renovation and solar energy solutions
- Simon Booth, CEO of Zestec Renewables
