Can we decarbonize the global economy before time runs out?
In short: Engineer John Doerr and policy expert Hal Harvey discuss the urgent necessity of global action to transform our energy systems and meet the staggering challenge of decarbonizing a global economy that has historically only increased emissions.
The conversation explores the tension between the falling costs of sustainable technology and the shrinking window of opportunity to act. Although protecting the environment is now demonstrably more affordable than destroying it, the magnitude of this task is still vast.
To succeed, humanity must implement solutions globally, at high speed and at scale, to reverse a historical trend of rising emissions across the global economy.
