S01E05: IRENA and the #FossilFuelTreaty | The Global Energy Transition Podcast

Bonn leads the way We all know that climate change is a worsening problem, but which paths do we take to find solutions to this vexing challenge?  In this episode, we evaluate several technological solutions while also updating how cities around the world are taking an aspirational policy approach. In this rather Bonn, Germany-centric episode, host and proud-Bonnerite, Michael Buchsbaum celebrates his city’s endorsement of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative. The subject of our first podcast, Buchsbaum interviews Seble Samuel, Global Cities Campaign Lead for the treaty.  He then talks about emerging clean energy solutions with Dolf Gielen, Director of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)’s Innovation and Technology Center, now celebrating 10 years of being located in Bonn.  You can play the episode below, and it’s also available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
