"If you are investing in fossil fuels now, you are investing in a stranded asset where in 30 years that you will not get your returns from, and it will produce misery for the planet."
Today we are chatting with Vladislav Kaim, one of the UNs Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change. Vlad is a young economist committed to ensuring green and decent jobs for youth, and his specialty is in international trade and migration with his most recent assignment being representation of youth interests at the UN High-Level Dialogue on Energy platform. We’ll be talking about all things economics and how that affects climate change and the green future we have to build to thrive as a society.
