Co-existence of humans and machines make us more human - Pia Erkinheimo, The Finnish Climate Fund

Join Pia and The Switch podcast in the gospel of hope to make the green transition. We started The Switch Podcast because we wanted to change the language around climate change. There is a lot of talk about what is not functioning, so we wanted to flip this and focus on solutions and the companies providing them. One sentence that our latest guest, Pia Erkinheimo, shared with me perfectly embodies this mission of ours: “It is intellectually lazy if we always share horrifying news on social media without providing any solutions.” She calls this “gospel of hope”, and I’m loving it! We should all, including the media, take responsibility. Climate anxiety is raging among the younger generation, and we are not helping them. We need to change the tone and stop creating this “dystopian view of the world”, as Pia puts it. Fixing the system is necessary, but so is regulating and adapting ourselves. I really enjoyed talking with Pia Erkinheimo from The Finnish Climate Fund. Her passion for ClimateTech and innovation is contagious.
