As we know from this podcast series, we do have most of the green technologies we need to transition from black to green energy. Yet, we still aren't on track to reduce global carbon emissions at a pace that will limit global warming to 1,5 degrees. Why is that and how do we speed up green action? These are the questions episode 5 of Climate Action Now explores. We talk to some of the most knowledgeable experts about what businesses, energy companies, investors, policy makers and you and me, the citizens, can do to show love for our shared home, Planet Earth. Joining us in this episode are Katherine Richardson - Head of the Sustainability Science Center at the University of Copenhagen and a UN appointed expert, who you might remember from episode 2. We also welcome Dr. Andrew Steer, CEO of the World Resources Institute in Washington DC, which is perhaps the worlds most renowned research organisation on climate and energy.

Episode 2: Aligning with climate science to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees

Our shared home, planet Earth, is changing. The climate crisis demands our urgent action, but how bad is it actually? That is the question we dive into in this introductory episode of our series, where we talk with one of the leading climate scientists to take stock of the climate. We also visit one of the strategists behind Ørsted’s green transformation to learn what prompted their turn from black to green energy.

Episode 1: How did we get here – and how do we get out?

We know it’s alarming. Our streets and cities are flooding, our forests are burning, sea levels are on the rise. Our shared home, planet Earth, is threatened by man-made climate change. But did you also know that we already have the solutions to stop the escalating climate crisis? In this five episode podcast series we explore the solutions and dive into why the key to reaching our collective climate goals lies with the global energy sector and a systemic, swift transition from black to green energy. You will meet experts and strategists driving green transformation and understand the different components needed to get there in time to protect our home. Ørsted, the worlds most sustainable energy company, is publishing this podcast series to inspire everyone to take action now.
