Description

Hello! Ed's just come back from COP27 where he was roving with his mic. He spoke to some experts on how we shift to zero carbon power and break our dependency on fossil fuels. We talk to Kingsmill Bond about why the transition to renewables makes economic sense. Tzeporah Berman tells us about the potential of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty to constrain supply. And Mohamed Adow tells us why the continent of Africa could lead the way in becoming a renewable energy superpower, and what that means for its development.GuestsKingsmill Bond, Energy Strategist, Rocky Mountain Institute (@KingsmillBond) (@RockyMtnInst)Tzeporah Berman, Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty (@tzeporah) (@fossiltreaty)Mohamed Adow, Director, Power Shift Africa (@mohadow) (@PowerShftAfrica)More infoRead about past and current peaks in fossil fuel demand (RMI)Visit Kingsmill Bond's website to read about the drivers of change for the transition to renewables and the myths of the incumbencyListen to Kingsmill on the Volts PodcastLearn more about the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation TreatyAccess the Global Registry of Fossil Fuels (Carbon Tracker; Global Energy Monitor)Watch Tzeporah's TED TalkVisit Power Shift Africa's Website Hosted on Acast.
