Ladies and Gentlemen, fasten your seatbelts and get ready for a journey into the superpower future. Today on the 2nd Renaissance, we have the honor of introducing a visionary and futurist economist who has been mapping out the sustainable future of our world for years - Dr Ross Garnaut. With a keen eye for economics, sustainability and the environment, Dr Garnaut's thoughts and insights are a window into a better and more sustainable tomorrow. He has been shaping the discourse on how we can create a world that is not just economically prosperous, but also environmentally conscious for the last 20 years. In today’s episode, we sit down to decode his latest books - Superpower and Superpower Transformation - and the latent (exponential) potential for Australia in the decarbonised future. It is an energising conversation with a climate optimist, but also a sobering wake up call for immediate climate action. 

A few words on pedigree…

Ross Garnaut AO is one of Australia’s leading economists and thinkers. He is a Professorial Fellow in Economics and a Vice Chancellor’s Fellow at the University of Melbourne as well as a Distinguished Professor of the Australian National University. In September 2008, Professor Garnaut presented the Garnaut Climate Change Review to the Australian Prime Minister. He was a key economic adviser to the reforming Hawke government, and Garnaut has held senior roles in government and business, including as Australian ambassador to China and climate change adviser to the Rudd and Gillard governments.

So, hold on tight as we explore the exciting possibilities of the electrifying future, with none other than one of my climate superheroes - Dr Ross Garnaut, here on the 2nd Renaissance podcast.
