Richie Merzian sees a simple three-step solution to climate change: get to 100 per cent renewables, electrify everything, then learn how to remove carbon from the atmosphere through sequestration. As climate and energy program director at think-tank The Australia Institute he advocates for meaningful policy action towards these goals. He brings insights from his experience as both a climate campaigner and government insider.

Richie Merzian is recorded live in conversation with Yaara Bou Melhem at Powerhouse Ultimo. For more information go to 100climateconversations.com/richie-merzian
