About this episode

Dr. Pippa Malmgren joins Zoë Knight to discuss how frontier climate technologies could lead to an age of abundance.

Economist, author and former White House advisor, Dr. Pippa Malmgren, joins Zoë Knight, HSBC's Global Head of Sustainability Research and Integration. Together, they explore how frontier climate technologies could shift us from a mindset of scarcity to an "age of abundance" – from space-based solar power and wireless energy transmission that could bypass grid constraints, to the "new nuclear" and advanced materials that may accelerate the energy transition.
