Our age will be defined by the climate emergency. But contrary to the doomist narrative that's taken hold, the world has already begun deploying the solutions needed to deal with it. On a journey across five continents, Climate Capitalism tracks the unlikely heroes driving the fight against climate change. Through stories that bring people, policy and technology together, Akshat Rathi reveals how the green economy is not only possible, but profitable.

Hosted by Dr. Daniel Grant and Professor Hugh Montgomery, Real Zero dives deep into the urgent issue of climate change, exploring its far-reaching consequences and what we can do to combat it. Each week, we bring in a leading expert to shed light on the science, the impacts, and the innovative solutions that can help us navigate the climate crisis. From practical steps individuals can take to bold societal shifts, Real Zero offers insightful conversations that empower listeners to take action.

America, 2049: Summer temperatures are intolerably high, the fossil fuel industry has shut down, and humans are implanted with a 'Flick' at birth, which allows them to remain perpetually online. The wealthy live in the newly created Floating City off the coast, while people on the mainland struggle to get by. For Rose, a job as a hostess in the city's elite club, feels like her best hope for a better future.

A podcast for the quietly overwhelmed and cautiously hopeful.

Climate catastrophe-inspired narratives like “Electrify Everything!” have a grip on people’s minds. The simplicity of the solution to the most complex endeavor ever faced by humans—the journey to a net zero future—is seductive, but it is fundamentally flawed. In Path to Zero: 12 Climate Conversations That Changed the World, author Tucker Perkins takes listeners on a series of future-casting journeys from the Year 2050 back to the present day to show us how a better way—a wide path to net zero carbon emissions—was, and can be, achieved in an accelerated time frame.

What can we really do about the climate emergency? The inconvenient truth is that we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles and that fixing – or even just slowing – it will affect all of us. But it can be done. In Net Zero the economist Professor Dieter Helm...

By the time a baby is born, its brain is equipped with billions of intricately crafted neurons wired together through trillions of interconnections to form a compact and breathtakingly efficient supercomputer.
