We’ve spoken about energy in this show before. How it powers everything around us. It is a source of light for some, learning for others, but for our majority world, it helps fulfill the basic needs of survival. Our changing climate is the consequence of how energy has been produced, distributed and consumed over the last century. But what if there is a better way that is kinder to the planet and its people? One that does not only take, make and throw, instead it helps us exist consistently for years to come. We deep dive into what this can look like with Huda Jaffer, Director at SELCO foundation, who gives us an insight of what this world can look like when innovation, community and enterprise join hands.
