Accelerating Low Carbon Growth with Lauren Juliff, Clean Growth Fund

This week, I'm joined by Lauren Juliff of the Clean Growth Fund. The fund seeks out early stage entrepreneurs with the potential to abate more than 100,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide per annum and give them the money and guidance to bring their concepts to market. One of the themes of our discussion is that switching investment from high carbon industries to lower carbon sectors isn't enough – cash is required to disrupt the system through innovation. We also discuss the drawbacks in reporting, but the challenges in forecasting future potential of technology.
