The transition to zero carbon will be one of the biggest shifts in the history of humankind. Transitioning to renewables means immense opportunities for jobs, security, equity and common resilience. Right now, renewable energy in the form of solar and wind is the cheapest it has ever been, and with it comes immense opportunities in employment, economic growth and equality. So what are the technological breakthroughs we need to tackle climate change today? Australia could be a global leader in renewable innovation, we already have the tools and technology required, so what’s stopping us from investing in our future? Fiacre Rougieux is one of renewable energy’s biggest supporters, with solutions on how to facilitate this shift.
