Bookclub: #1 What We Need To Do Now by Chris Goodall
On this episode of the Hothouse Podcast, hosts Diyora and Issey delve into Chris Goodall's ‘What We Need To Do Now,’ which presents a roadmap for the UK to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
The author suggests strategies like constructing an extensive surplus of wind and solar energy, converting the excess into hydrogen, implementing a carbon tax, and exploring sustainable practices in the agriculture industry. 'What We Need To Do Now' was the first book we collectively read in 2024, as we thought it could serve as a valuable primer on the distinctive challenges confronting the UK and exploring various solutions — both individual and systemic.
