Adapt or die: why decarbonisation is no longer enough with Rupert Read

Climate adaptation is the Cinderella of climate action, but increasing extreme weather events make it all too clear that we not only have to mitigate climate change (through carbon reductions) but prepare for the impacts already baked into the system. Rupert Read, author of Transformative Adaptation and former Extinction Rebellion Spokesperson, joins me to talk about the need to go beyond "shallow, defensive" adaptation and 'green bling' to build true resilience into our global value chains, and how adaptation can be a pathway to decarbonisation rather than an either or. Rupert is a fascinating analyst of the climate debate who will challenge many of your assumptions.Rupert's book, Transformative Adaptation can be bought here.The Net Zero Business Podcast is brought to you by Terra Infirma Ltd – Bringing Sustainability to Life Hosted on Acast.
