In this episode, we invite Dr. Tim Flannery, an acclaimed author, scientist, and climate change mitigation advocate, on our podcast. Dr. Flannery gives us his take on the current situation regarding climate change, what climate science is telling us today, and whether we have surpassed crucial tipping points. He also highlights the importance of communicating and connecting with different parts of society in order to help better align climate agendas. Promising case studies, such as South Australia and Scotland, show us that society is taking the driver’s seat in setting and reaching its own climate targets. Renewables, such as solar, are becoming more economic and cost competitive with coal, pointing to an achievable clean energy transition that must also be coupled with political will.
