Cities 1.5 Host David Miller’s book Solved: How the World’s Greatest Cities Are Fixing the Climate Crisis has just been released to paperback in a revised version and with an all new chapter just in time for World Book and Copyright Day! In it, he chronicles the stories of cities who have taken action to meet - and exceed - the emissions targets laid out in the Paris Agreement to transition away from fossil fuels.
In this episode, we turn the tables: David takes his place in the interviewee hotseat, and his editor, Jodi Lewchuk, asks him about writing Solved.
Stay tuned after the interview to hear an excerpt from the Solved audiobook now available on Audible, read by David himself.
