Net Hero Podcast – With Sumit Bose

Net Hero Podcast - Art and people power at COP26

In this week's episode you'll hear two very interesting chats that Sumit Bose had at COP26.
The first was an obscure stand behind the back of the Blue Zone where I met Vincent Huang the offical artist of Tuvalu - he is bizarrely Tiwanese and specialises in art depicting climate change, frankly fascinating and the second part is a conversation with an old friend of ours here at futurenetzero.com - Angus Forbes who was a co-host on series one of Gaia Says No.

Net Hero at COP26 - Day five - Young people tell business what‘s right

Today was youth and pubic empowerment day - so the young people took to the streets actually they didn't, some did to listen to Greta but there were a lot of oldies in the crowd.
However we went off the beaten track to a fringe event where it was just young people, international scouts in fact and they told me what they want from the businesses of today to secure the future of tomorrow.
I can tell you they were really impressive have a listen in...

Net Hero at COP26 – Day four – Al Gore says net zero can save us and nuclear goes zero?

Today was energy day at COP26 and we had a lot about killing off coal but there was lots more too. Sumit Bose was walking through the ‘action zone’ when who decided to offer a talk to us all, none other than Al Gore the former US Vice President and his message around net zero was actually quite positive!
Sumit then spoke to two energy sector advocates that are vital for the transition – nuclear and … hydropower and the day ended with a powerful statement from a delegate from Tanzania who bascially said for COP26 to work, rich nations need to cough up!
