In this episode we talk to Dr. Hannah Ritchie, Deputy Editor and Lead Researcher at Our World In Data and author of the Not The End of the World, How We Can Be The First Generation to Build a Sustainable Planet. Dr. Ritchie talks about her personal journey from a climate pessimist ready to switch careers to a data scientist explaining why the world can transition to a sustainable future. We discuss how China and India are becoming greener at a much faster rate than western countries did as they developed. We also talk about why electrification is so important and the role for nuclear and gas power in that process. She explains why food systems play an important role in emissions and the surprising list of individual actions that help - and also hurt - the environment.

0:00.0 | If you look at a petrol car, for example, for every dollar of gasoline that you put in it, |
0:13.6 | only around 20 cents actually goes towards turning the wheels. The other 80 cents is completely |
0:19.4 | wasted as heat, right? You don't get any benefit from |
0:21.8 | that whatsoever. When you're powering an electric car is almost the opposite. So for every dollar |
0:28.1 | of electricity you use, 80 cents go towards turning the wheels and only 20 cents are lost. |
0:36.0 | Now what that means is that to travel the same distance in an electric car, |
0:39.3 | you use three to four times less energy than you would in a petrol car. |
0:44.3 | So these efficiency gains from electrification are really, really, really massive. |
0:48.3 | And I think it's one of the reasons why I think this transition is just at this point inevitable. The time scale is |
0:55.9 | always debatable, but I think inevitable because we are just moving towards a much better system. |

1:28.5 | All the discussion we'll have about investment performance is about the past, and past performance |
1:33.1 | does not guarantee or even infer anything about future performance. Also understand that there's |
1:38.3 | a significant risk of financial loss with all investment strategies, and you need to request |
1:42.9 | and understand the specific risks |
1:44.9 | from the investment manager about their product before you make investment decisions. |
