46. Let's Get Ethical with Dr. Fatih Birol (COVID and Climate #2)

Week 2 of our series on emerging stronger and better equipped from the coronavirus is here! As many if not all national governments are rolling out stimulus packages to address the economic affects of COVID-19, why should economic stimulus packages be focused on the clean energy transition? Our interview this week is about the importance of ethics-based stimulus packages with Dr. Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency. Also - Christiana and Paul hold the fort down while Tom is away working on his TED Talk and they discuss what new ways of living in the pandemic that should stick once we return to "business as usual."
