Tom Rand brings his trademark focus and clarity to an enormously complex issue – the economic, technical and financial dimensions of climate risk. As global fears over the risk ratchet up alongside increasingly turbulent weather systems, the private sector looks at last ready join the fight in earnest. Is that the case, or just more greenwashing? Rand’s forthright speaking style takes on the old canards of both left and right politics in a passionate call to arms on climate risk and covers a broad range of subjects – psychology, finance, policy, economics, technology and science. His talk brings to life the focus of his third bestselling book: to articulate pragmatic ways to rewire the capitalist economy for the 21st century, with a focus on the highly leveraged role for technology, for a renewed “Climate Capitalism”. The Case for Climate Capitalism: Economic Solutions for a Planet in Crisis (ECW Press) was awarded the 2021 Axiom Silver Medal (Economics).
