Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why climate doesn't need better solutions, it needs bigger bets, with Jennifer Kitt
Q: What does it mean to be Jennifer Kitt and what does your day-to-day look like?
Jennifer explains that her work centers on helping donors become part of climate solutions through long-term, collaborative engagement, guiding them to align their resources with what actually matters for climate impact and enabling a flywheel of progress across sectors.
How Nigeria is leading a repair transition, not just an energy one, with Vincent Egoro
Q: What concrete steps are needed to make deployments sustainable from the start?
We need to embed training, create a platform that coordinates professionals, involve communities from day one, and pursue public-private partnerships with institutions like the World Bank and African development banks to fund ongoing maintenance and skill-building.
How Nigeria is leading a repair transition, not just an energy one, with Vincent Egoro
Q: What do you mean by a repair transition in addition to an energy transition?
The repair transition emphasizes building local capability to maintain and fix solar equipment, designing solutions suited to local conditions, and ensuring ongoing utility and empowerment rather than one-off electrification projects.
Are you ready to lead your town through an extreme weather event? With the game designers behind ‘The Future For Beginners’
Q: What were some of the things that you wanted people to experience?
We aimed to create a hands-on climate scenario that makes participants feel the weight of collective decisions, observe how different projects interact (mitigation vs adaptation), and understand the social dimensions and trade-offs in a realistic setting.
Who are the incrementalists? with Dana R. Fisher
Q: Can you explain what you mean by systemic change and incrementalism?
Systemic change requires dismantling the underlying fossil-fuel-driven and inequality-producing structures, not just making small improvements; incrementalism keeps the status quo while aiming for cleaner operations, which may reduce ambition and widen gaps in justice.
