Sustainable vs Profitable: the Green Transition Race - Aurore Belfrage, Tech investor, Geopolitical risk advisor The Switch - to a green economy

Have you ever wondered how the Pentagon sees the world amidst climate change? Well, they call the climate a conflict multiplier. Apparently, by looking at climate change through this lens, we can see a completely different world and conflicts of a very different nature.

So, can looking at the climate from a geopolitical perspective make us more proactive in protecting the planet? Aurore Belfrage, the latest guest on The Switch Podcast, believes so. As a tech diplomat, economist, investor, digitalization strategist in the green transition, political advisor and co-author of a book about how climate impacts the geopolitical landscape, she knows what she is saying. Aurore tells us how competing among countries can lead us to a more sustainable world, why 0.5% lower emissions may be a missed goal, and why we can’t only focus on the profitable parts of the transition.
