As nations target net-zero emissions goals, the quest to transform energy systems and shift towards renewables could move the needle on climate action. But how far can alternatives like solar, wind and biothermal still go, and what about carbon capture and storage? Jaime Ho speaks to Francesco La Camera, Director-General of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) on the urgency of implementation and the questions around cost.

The Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment has plans to create 55,000 new and upgraded jobs over the next 10 years. These plans need people but what are the skills and knowledge needed? Will passion and pay finally meet for future roles in sustainability? Jaime Ho speaks to two young guests who have already dipped their toes into this green future - Benedict Tan who majored in Environmental Studies at Yale-NUS and S Sandiyashini, a first year Life Sciences and Management student at NUS.
