With the recent wildfires in Greece and the repeated “hottest month on record” headlines, the urgency to decarbonise is ramping up. “The era of global boiling has arrived,” United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres warned in late July.\r\n\r\nIn this week’s episode of Watt Matters and before we go off on our holidays, Jan, Michaela and David examine the progress made in the energy transition so far this year. They also discuss what topics need greater focus in the coming months and pick out some of their highlights from the year so far.\r\n\r\nEnjoy the show.\r\n\r\nIf you have any thoughts or questions about anything that has been discussed in this week’s episode, you can reach us at our Twitter accounts:\r\nMichaela Holl: https://twitter.com/CitizenSane1\r\nJan Rosenow: https://twitter.com/janrosenow\r\nDavid Weston: https://twitter.com/DaveW_FORESIGHT\r\nKira Taylor: https://twitter.com/KiraTaylor15\r\n\r\n@WattMattersPod: https://twitter.com/WattMattersPod\r\nFORESIGHT Climate & Energy: https://twitter.com/FORESIGHTdk\r\n\r\nListen and subscribe to Watt Matters wherever you get podcasts.
