The trillion dollar paradox | George Zaidan

from TED Business

Global warming is very, very expensive: extreme weather, rising sea levels, crop failures, health issues, and industry disruptions all cost money. So, what’s the best way forward? Is the estimated trillion-dollar price tag that comes with transitioning the world to clean energy worth the cost of investment? George Zaidan explores what it would take to become a green economy. [Directed by Sofia Pashaei, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio]. After the talk, Modupe asks why is it so tempting to ignore the climate crisis -- and what you can do to act now. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
