Episode Details

Economist Christian Gollier warns that climate action is failing without global coordination, as high-carbon industries simply relocate to laxer jurisdictions like China, leaving early-movers like the EU to shoulder the burden. He advocates for carbon taxes and heat pump incentives to make clean tech affordable and polluting expensive, while cautioning against policies like “drill, baby, drill” that undermine progress. Even small successes, like Andorra’s emissions control, need stronger EU backing—especially in transport and housing. Electric vehicles are a smart start, but costly transitions must be handled carefully to avoid backlash. The bottom line: tackling climate change demands unified, economically savvy global effort—not just goodwill.
