93. The Race To Zero! Extreme Electrification with Nico Rosberg and Sara Price

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the second episode in our Race To Zero series!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">All evidence points to the tipping point for electrification of road transport, and the end of the internal combustion engine. But will this happen fast enough? </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the key pillars of the</span> <strong>Race to Zero</strong> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">is to accelerate the adoption of Zero Emissions Vehicles. Today, transport accounts for about 16% of global emissions, but is a much higher share of total emissions in industrialized countries. For example in the United States, transport accounts for nearly 30% of emissions and globally is a major source of the pollution causing one in ten deaths.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If we’re going to succeed in this, it’s going to take everyone. So how do we bring in new people to take action on climate change? And how do we reach and inspire a new generation to never purchase an internal combustion engine? We ask Nico Rosberg and Sara Price whether the innovative impact of Extreme E and its exciting partnership with citizen action campaign,</span> <strong>Count Us In</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">, can bring the power of sport and the excitement of motor racing, to inspire the public to apply pressure that spurs industry and government policy to accelerate the race to zero carbon.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check out everything</span> <a href="https://extremee.count-us-in.org/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Extreme E</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">!</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">—</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thank you to our guests this week! </span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Nico Rosberg</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sustainability Entrepreneur | Founder & CEO of Rosberg X Racing</span></p> <p> </p>
