128: What COP26 Missed with Horace Dediu

This week Oliver interviews Horace about his latest research on climate and micromobility, and his reflections on the recent COP26 meeting in Glasgow. Specifically, they dig into why micromobility wasn’t more prominently featured in the potential solutions provided by groups like the IEA, and how that matches up to the disruptive innovation framework. Specifically they get into: - His new research and modelling into the climate action opportunity that micromobility presents - The new IEA report and it’s reliance on new technology that they haven’t identified, and why Horace believes it will come from micromobility (link to summary here: https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions-from-transport) - The challenges of technology disruption intersecting with policy makers who require proven and de-risked methods
