At Bloomberg Green, we captured the ups and downs in a new format with the launch of the Zero podcast, which I’m fortunate to host and compile alongside producers Oscar Boyd and Christine Driscoll. So for my first newsletter of 2023, I’m going to look back at what we’ve learned from the podcast — and try to glean what kind of year the planet has in store.
