Climate change is a relatively new science. The impacts of that scientific research can have massive impacts on how governments, companies, and even individuals can think about their role in preventing climate change. Yet distilling that knowledge requires a pair of skills few people have: first, the ability to comprehend the science and second, the skills to distill it to an understandable level for a non-expert.

Our guest today, Dr. Akshat Rathi, Senior Report for Climate at Bloomberg News, has made it his mission to do just that. Through his weekly newsletter and podcasts, Akshat covers physical and human solutions to the challenge of a global net zero transition. He is careful to cover the companies and people who are making a real impact.

During the episode we discuss Akshat’s unique pivot from a PHD in Organic Chemistry  to journalism, his keys to writing accurate and accessible climate coverage, and how he measures the impact of his work on his readers and listeners.

You can keep up with Akshat on LinkedIn and Twitter, and you can find his work in his newsletter and podcast. Keep up with the show by following The Net Zero Life on Twitter and Instagram (@thenetzerolife). You can also get in touch at www.thenetzerolife.com or via email at [email protected].
