Hannah Ritchie on the Energy Transition

Hannah Ritchie is a senior researcher in the program for global development at the University of Oxford. Her forthcoming book, Not the End of the World, will be published in January 2024. Hannah explores what converted her from a climate pessimist to an optimist and shares her insights into why stories of climate doom seem to be more popular. We explore a number of her data analyses that support her optimistic outlook; we discuss why it's important to give people hope that we can address the climate justice community. Then in the news segment, we'll check out the latest outlook for clean energy investment from the IEA.
