EPISODE 9: Finance + Physics = Climate Repair? Ft. Delton ChenIn this episode Clare and Delton Chen explore Delton's work on a concept of a global carbon reward, an economic concept which could provide a carrot and not just a stick in the field of international economic interventions. As with all these conversations with experts on solutions, Extinction Rebellion isn’t advocating for this above and beyond any other approaches. Hopefully looking at different options with the experts who propose them can help us to get a rounded view on what’s being proposed and what might be possible. We hope it sparks interesting thinking and reflections. Please, share, comment, subscribe, like, mobilise, and donate! https://chuffed.org/xr/uk
