Not the End of the World (with Hannah Ritchie)

"Not the end of the world”... Today’s guest, Hannah Ritchie, a brilliant researcher, author, and environmental scientist, embodies what it means to be genuinely optimistic about the future of our planet.  As Head of Research at Our World in Data, Hannah has made a global impact with her data-driven approach to tackling critical issues like sustainability, climate change, and food systems. She has an extraordinary talent for breaking down complex scientific topics, making them accessible and engaging for a wider audience—a skill that’s more crucial than ever in raising awareness and driving change.  Her recent book, Not the End of the World, highlights her unwavering belief that despite all the doom and gloom, we can indeed be the first generation to create a truly sustainable future.
