3 Critical Changes Needed To Decarbonize 5X Faster (w/ Simon Sharpe)

How do we dramatically accelerate the pace of climate action and reduce emissions? According to Simon Sharpe's new book, Five Times Faster, it will take a fundamental rethinking of how we practice science, economics, and diplomacy. In this in-depth conversation, we examine his three solutions, what needs to get done to get there, and how achieving certain tipping points in clean technologies will create wide-spanning changes. Simon Sharpe is Director of Economics for the Climate Champions Team and a Senior Fellow at the World Resources Institute. He designed and led flagship international campaigns of the UK’s Presidency of COP26 and worked as the head of private office to a minister of energy and climate change in the UK Government and has served diplomatic postings in both China and India.
