7 lessons from the Covid crisis with Sir Patrick Vallance

from Net Zero: What's innovation got to do with it? · host The Carbon Trust

What can our approach to tackling the Covid pandemic teach us about how we should address the climate crisis? In this first episode, we ask how innovation can be catalysed in the face of an urgent, global problem. It normally takes over a decade to create a vaccine, but during the Covid-19 pandemic, multiple vaccines were available in a matter of months. How did this remarkable achievement happen? In this episode, Nina and Simon are joined by Sir Patrick Vallance, former Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government, to discuss the seven lessons we should learn from the Covid crisis about how to create the right conditions for urgent innovation to prevent dangerous climate change.
