An evening with Sir Dieter Helm CBE

Dithering, backtracking and gimmickry by Labour and the Conservatives are no answer to the climate emergency — so what's the alternative? Find out on February 20.

“Dieter Helm is right on everything” was the advice that our candidate Edward Lucas received from his predecessor as energy editor at the Economist. He and Dieter have been friends ever since.

Dieter is Britain's top energy expert, a professor at Oxford University and the author of best-selling books. His punchy, insightful analysis of our costly and ineffective approach to energy and the environment has gained him a wide following. His latest book, Legacy, exposes the short-sighted way that we treat natural resources and the environment: concentrating only on profit and loss, and not on long-term stewardship.

Don't miss this rare chance to hear Dieter’s devastating exposé of the failure of our energy policy over past decades and the urgent changes we need to make.
