Cheaper, Cleaner, More Reliable - Ep14: Jonathan Maxwell

About Cleaning Up

Once a week Michael Liebreich has a conversation with a leader in clean energy, mobility, climate finance, or sustainable development.

Each episode covers the technical ground on some aspect of the low-carbon transition – but it also delves into the nature of leadership in the climate transition: whether to be optimistic or pessimistic; how to communicate in order to inspire change; personal credos; and so on.

And it should be fun – most of the guests are Michael’s friends.
