We know what needs to be done to ward off the worst impacts of global climate disruption: rein in heat-trapping pollution, reverse deforestation, build resilient systems. But how we do those things is the trick. Every second counts. The sooner we act, the more lives saved, the more jobs protected and the more futures secured.
So how do we orchestrate the vast change we need in a short amount of time? World Resources Institute President Ani Dasgupta gives his honest take on the lack of progress since the Paris Agreement was signed 10 years ago — and maps a path forward.
Guests:
Ani Dasgupta, President and CEO, World Resources Institute (WRI); Author, “The New Global Possible”
Jonathan Foley, Executive Director, Project Drawdown
Nikhil Swaminathan, CEO, Grist
