Join Sarah Burke, Central America bureau chief for The Economist, as she breaks down the tumultuous climate of Mexico's elections, marked by violence and the looming influence of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Guy Scriven, the climate risk correspondent, discusses the exploding green technology sector and whether it risks becoming the next tech bubble. They also touch on the implications of these elections for sustainable investments and the exciting possibility of life on Venus with NASA’s upcoming missions.
The run-up to the country’s largest-ever election has been bloody; the aftermath will set the tone for President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, whose record so far is woeful.
