Net Zero – The Utopian Vision, but How Do We Get There?

Geoff Mulgan, Mohamed Ridouani

2021 Climate & Sustainability English Finance & Resourcing Participation & Engagement

Everyone is talking about decarbonizing and getting to Net Zero. Easier said than done. It involves a compelling story of how everyone can play a part of making, shaping and co-creating a different reality. A conversation between Sir Geoff Mulgan an international thought leader, who formerly ran NESTA, the mayor of Leuven Mohamed Ridouani, who received the EU Capital of Innovation award for their ambitious decarbonization plan and Patrizia Nanz professor of Transformative Sustainability Studies in Potsdam. They explore how you go beyond a vision on paper, get commitment from all interest groups, harness the resources, change the rules, incentives and organizational structures as well as individual behaviours to turn a crucial idea into a lived experience.
