A reminder of the urgent need for a just and equitable shift to renewable energy to combat climate change that highlights how our fossil fuel-dependent energy and global political economies are deeply intertwined, and why it's crucial to embed principles of justice and equity in the emerging renewable energy economy from its inception. As the world recognizes the consequences of excessive fossil fuel consumption and climate change, there's a growing push to decarbonize and transition to renewable energy sources. This talk delves into the transformative potential of this renewable energy revolution to give a second chance to build a fairer world order.
