Renewables champion and Octopus Energy’s Greg Jackson revealed that an oil CEO told him the fossil fuel industry is privately preparing for dangerous global temperatures - and six feet of sea level rise - in a powerful keynote speech to launch The Independent’s second annual Climate 100 List.
Jackson, founder and CEO of the U.K.’s largest energy supplier, is one of 100 business leaders, environmentalists, scientists, and creatives featured on the 2025 Climate 100 List, following the success of last year’s inaugural list. It celebrates leaders on diverse paths with a singular goal: tackling the worsening climate crisis.
