Roger Harrabin

Roger Harrabin stands as one of the most prominent environmental broadcasters in the United Kingdom, having spent over three decades as the BBC Energy and Environment Analyst. A pioneer in the field, he was the founding presenter of the acclaimed Radio 4 programme Costing the Earth and has been instrumental in tracing the intersection of climate science, international politics, and global business. His career is defined by a commitment to impartiality, notably producing series that investigated the complexities and uncertainties within modern energy technology. Throughout his tenure, he has interviewed some of the world’s most influential figures, including Sir David Attenborough, Al Gore, and several former Prime Ministers and UN Secretaries-General. His contributions to the sector have been recognised with an Honorary Doctorate of Science from Cranfield University and fellowships at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities. Since leaving the BBC, he has continued his work as a freelance journalist and remains a leading commentator on the transition to renewable systems and the necessity of innovative power solutions. Known for his ability to blend deep technical knowledge with a sharp, humorous delivery, Roger is a premier choice for moderating complex discussions and delivering keynote addresses. Audiences book him for his unparalleled perspective on the sustainable energy transition and his unique ability to make global environmental challenges relevant to the corporate world. On stage, Roger Harrabin is best known for talks on Energy & Sustainability. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Media & Broadcasting and Sustainability & Environment, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Roger Harrabin is regularly booked for Conference Speaker and After Dinner Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A.
