Olivia Lazard l The blind spots of the energy transition‍ l Stockholm Impact/Week 2023

I've heard many people tell us what we need to do since the 1970s, but it still looks like we're going full force until we can't anymore. Nature Bats Last

Incrediblely powerful speech Olivia Thank you dearly ❤️

Watching this for the second time, I am so thankful for Olivia Lazards research and presentation, yet more importantly the demonstration of fierce love for the planet, the people, and the species we are dependent upon. Tech story eating away at our natural story. Powerful. We must share this story wide and far! Thank you for creating the narrative of which we all can share. YOu are my shero for all time!

What a powerful and amazing presentation and absolutely spot on.... but I fear that if we don't change the profit motive at the core, we will never change the ecological death train we are on... if we are to follow the recommendations given here , I believe the best chance is to transform the corporations themselves by making the workers the owners, and share the benefits and the risks with everyone... the idea of the limited liability corporation has to die... We need the mining done in an ecologically safe manner and this has to be non-negotiable.... By spreading the benefits and the risks to everyone working in the business, we kill two birds with one stone... and the only people who would do this, are the locals who live near the operations.... Because they live with the consequences ... This woman is a force of nature... Bravo!! Bravo !!

Spot on. Raw materials get massively overlooked in our race towards whatever is coming and it's completely mad to me that no one in tech even tends to talk about it.

“Horrified of our near future” is what comes to my mind.

Excellent presentation. Although it has been obvious for decades that technological development is in conflict with the environment. I am excited by the international collaboration that should be drawing the worlds attention to the problems caused by the corrupt, hand in hand relationship between business and government, wiping away the opportunities to conserve the environment.

It is blatantly obvious that we are doomed.

REFOREST EARTH. 🌎

Blind spot is a good phrase.

Mme Lazard. Vancouver a la plus grande concentration de siège social minier. Ils devraient vous écouter. Ce que vous dites est très important.

A shame she didn't mention nuclear energy once. That's not a trivial emission for most of the minerals that have to be mined will go to solar, wind and hydro otherwise. Their demand is much larger than that of our electronics on which we digitize.

Data centres consume vast amounts of electricity.!

Also, she says that that the world needs to “treat the means of energy as a global good.” Can anyone imagine the G7 and the G77 agreeing on this or anything currently???😢

A very insightful presentation! The road ahead is fraught with complications & existential risks. Fortunately the constraints on the continuous growth of human civilization are intensifying and there is the very real possibility of a rough but successful landing at some sort of state of equilibrium with the global ecosystem. There are several key drivers to get us there, both disenfranchised young people and what remains of indigenous communities in the "undeveloped" wilderness areas are immensely important, as are those who value a healthy & bio-diverse planet that harbors more than humans, our pets, our food and our physical infrastructures. And, most importantly, the gorilla in the room: global climate change. I suspect that the global climate crisis will hit humanity hard over the next decades, and that will have the desirable effect of forcing the re-ordering goals & priorities as well as putting some braking pressure on unsustainable economic growth. Still, positive change to a more modest standard of living that moderates individual & collective carbon & resource utilization footprints will only be realized under the relentless pressure of this negative feedback loop. Human nature is the problem and real change on this scale will only happen when we have exhausted our extravagant alternatives and are staring down into the abyss of self-extinction.

Isn't the driver of investment now for personal gain? And individual investment is the main driver of income inequality How can we change the economy without changing that? How do we change the nature of investment to be collective well being, rather than the drive for individual excess?

Transcends physicality! Wow, I bet you are all looking forward to that.😅

2:34 did she mean extinct?

A master plan is needed. A big, expensive study
