In this episode of our podcast series Planet People Profit, Outlook Business’s Sustainability and Regulatory Affairs Editor, Sudipto Dey, sits down with Helen Clarkson, Chief Executive Officer at Climate Group, for a candid and thought-provoking conversation on the global climate crisis.
Clarkson underscores the urgent need to accelerate climate action—not just at scale but with speed—if we are to meaningfully combat the impacts of global warming. She stresses the critical importance of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and making an immediate, conscious shift to renewable energy sources across sectors.
Turning her focus to India, Clarkson shares her deep concerns about the country’s vulnerability to climate change. She emphasizes that India must act faster than anticipated to transition its energy systems, warning that it stands to be among the most severely affected nations if urgent steps aren’t taken.
