Most scientists agree that if the world is to achieve net zero by 2050 and secure a livable Earth, efforts to implement renewable energy need to be accelerated. Net zero refers to the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas produced and the amount removed from the atmosphere. We reach net zero when the amount we add is no more than the amount taken away. Of course, looking to build a better, more sustainable future has been talked about for years.  But are we getting closer to achieving this shared global imperative?

Addressing such questions are two guests: Ed White, Vice President and principal analyst at Clarivate, based in London; and Shara Mohtadi, former chief of staff for the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy in Washington, DC.
