Troy Fielder is currently undertaking an industrial placement in the Sizewell C Financing and Economic Regulation team. He is a student at the University of East Anglia, studying for a degree in Natural Sciences (with a Year in Industry) and has a specific interest in environmental science and policy.

This publication, a result of a collaboration between Demos Helsinki and the four biggest cities of Finland: Espoo, Helsinki, Tampere, and Vantaa, proposes a new way to manage cities based on the principle of 'active citizenship and ecosystem leadership'.

Sizewell Community Working Group member, Derek Wyatt was an interviewee for The Future of Scotland series. These 'Seven lessons from seven cities' are a great read and suggest how communities, policymakers and business can make the most of the century's biggest trends and navigate the uncharted territory on which we find ourselves.

This TEDx talk from physicist David Mackay is also well worth a watch. How do we wean Britain off its (current) 90% dependency on fossil fuels if we are serious about the shift to a Net Zero future? Many of the options, as Mackay argues, come with a lot of baggage. The answer lies with addressing both supply - and demand-side issues – changing our consumption habits; being more thoughtful about our energy usage; and finding friendly states with whom we can collaborate.

How realistic is the ambition of delivering a Net Zero carbon economy by 2050, 2040 or 2035? How reliable are the experts – and the data on which they rely? Is the government’s ambition meaningful – or simply part of a long-standing political narrative, which says all the right things but does not lead to effective, sustainable change. This article in The Guardian is well worth a read.

Michael Shellenberger explains why it's time to overcome longstanding fears of the technology, and why he and other environmentalists believe it's past time to embrace nuclear as a viable and desirable source of clean power.
