Nobel Prize laureate Steven Chu on paths to a sustainable future
Professor Steven Chu, a Nobel Prize laureate and former U.S. Secretary of Energy during the Obama administration, presents new data on climate change that indicates that the Earth’s climate is more sensitive than previously thought. How we can transition from where we are heading to where we need to be within 50 years is one the most pressing set of issues that science, invention, and innovations need to address. Professor Chu discusses potential solutions that could provide a path to a sustainable and prosperous future.
