We’re in a time of crisis in more ways than one. In addition to a global pandemic, we’re facing climate change and increased competition between nations. What can we learn from these crises coming together, and how do we move forward?

On this episode of The Bid, we sit down with best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize winner Dr. Daniel Yergin. Dan is a renowned expert on energy, geopolitics and the global economy, and he recently released a new book, The New Map: Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations. Daniel discusses how the energy market has changed and in turn shifted the balance of power between nations, which gaps need to be filled to help tackle the climate crisis, and his vision for the new map that needs to be drawn in the coming years.
