The human factor on the path to net zero

Rainforests are being decimated. But are the indigenous people to blame? Coal is still being produced. But what alternative is being given to the miners who have no other employment opportunities? These are difficult questions that are explored in Beyond Net Zero – Part  2.

Listen to Daniel Hale, Campaign Director at Purpose and Natalia Węgrzyn from Purpose Climate Labs. They discuss the importance of taking the climate conversation to a far wider audience than is currently the case to ensure marginalized communities and regions aren’t left behind. They are also joined by Capgemini’s Kara Pecknold (frog) who offers a perspective on how companies can take reluctant employees forward on the path to net zero.

This emotive podcast takes us on a journey from Brazil to Poland and further afield. It puts people at heart of the urgent change needed for the world to meet ambitious carbon-reduction targets. What new skills will help us accelerate the transition to renewable energy? How can we give a voice to people who want to change but have no means to?

Tune in to our podcast to hear how our experts are helping communities tell their stories and find their own responses to climate change on the path to net zero — and beyond.
