Show Notes

What does renewable energy look like in the Pacific? What more needs to be done to help these nations in the transition? Join us with our captain, Associate Professor Atul Raturi  as we take a virtual flight over the Pacific. We'll learn the good, the bad and the hopeful for renewable energy in this beautiful region. 

You'll learn:

  • How much of the Pacific is currently powered by renewable energy?
  • What are the challenges to increasing this amount?
  • Is the Global North doing enough?
  • What is a CDM and CER? How are they helping or hindering this process?
