SPECIAL REPORT: Could Net Zero destroy a whole community?

  • Summary

  • Lewis Goodall hosts a special report from Port Talbot, South Wales, where thousands of jobs are about to be lost at Tata Steel.

    Port Talbot is Britain's last great steelworks, and a community has been built around it for generations. But Tata has announced 2,800 job losses across the UK as part of the closure of the site's blast furnaces and a transition to greener steelmaking.

    We visited the site and the town itself, to assess the impact it could have on an economy already battered by the de-industrialisation of the 1980s.
