- Cities and places as serendipity engines
- Where could and should climate leadership come from?
Highlights include:
- Why she is not getting angry about the net zero backtracking where the object is to divide people and the solution is not to be divided.
- The role of place in driving climate innovation as part of a global supercluster of talent and technology.
- That it's great to care but you cannot take the world upon your shoulders - everyone has a role to play in addressing the climate emergency.
