What is the recipe for an energy transition at the scale needed to limit global warming below the crucial 2\u00b0C threshold?<\/p>\n
Bloomberg journalist Akshat Rathi has identified some of the key ingredients, based on his interviews with ten of the world\u2019s most influential personalities working on climate solutions. In his new book, Climate Capitalism<\/em>, Akshat recounts their stories and makes a case for how capitalism and the dynamism of the private sector are essential components of the global race to zero emissions.<\/p>\n We take a deep dive into Rathi\u2019s work, confronting the criticisms of capitalism, examining how its varied implementations around the world produce different results, and exploring potential reforms for improvement. We conclude by weaving in some ideas drawn from topics discussed previously on the show, including \u201ccommand capitalism,\u201d how the energy transition requires long-term planning with a system thinking perspective, and the tension between forces driving for international cooperation versus competition.<\/p>\n It's a thoughtful look at the state of the global energy transition from someone with a front-row seat to the investment flows around the world, and we know you\u2019ll find it an illuminating and inspiring discussion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author Akshat Rathi shares key insights from his new book, Climate Capitalism, about how the private sector provides scalable solutions to climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[111,1208],"tags":[233,1192,1193,1065,17,28,81,675,659,1194,1094,1191,64,45],"class_list":["post-4020","xen_episodes","type-xen_episodes","status-publish","hentry","category-energy-transition-show-podcasts","category-green-industrial-policy-miniseries","tag-batteries","tag-bill-gates","tag-breakthrough-ventures","tag-capitalism","tag-china","tag-evs","tag-finance","tag-iea","tag-india","tag-industrial-policy","tag-ira","tag-orsted","tag-solar","tag-wind","xen_guests-akshat-rathi"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
