New technologies help fight climate change

The clock is ticking when it comes to climate change. And while innovations like solar power and wind have been around for some time, new technologies are emerging – around energy, agriculture, fashion and more – to help the transition to a lower-carbon economy. On the first episode of a four-part mini-series on sustainability, Steve Howard, Chief Sustainability Officer at Temasek, talks about innovation in the fight against climate change. He discusses emerging areas from electric and autonomous vehicles to spider silk; how we can ensure the energy transition is a just transition; and BlackRock and Temasek’s partnership towards a lower-carbon future.
