E030: Climate Change—if not now when?
Manage episode 274797612 series 2641994
Are we seeing the beginning of the end of coal, oil, and gas financing? Sonia Dunlop, a real third-generation environmentalist, brings optimism to our climate change discussion and explains why the Paris Agreement was a game-changer in the global climate landscape. We discuss financial instruments that are available to retire high carbon infrastructure because of the savings on energy bills. We discuss the role of energy efficiency, solar PV, batteries, and electric vehicles: the dramatic price reductions in all of these and their unimaginable impacts ahead. Why should countries be more ambitious in updating their national climate action plans to transform their economies? The new set of NDCs as part of the Paris Agreement could form part of the “blueprint” for COVID-19 recovery. We hope the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow in November 2021 will see more ambitious targets for 1.5 degrees and 2 degrees, finance, and global cooperation on a greener recovery.
