in this episode of the Raising the Barber podcast, we sit down with Richard Alexandre, a Global Design Strategist who focuses on using design to combat climate change.
Climate change is a pressing global issue characterised by rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and shifting climate patterns. Human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have significantly increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This has led to detrimental effects on ecosystems, economies, and human health.
The consequences of climate change include more frequent and severe heatwaves, droughts, flooding, and loss of biodiversity.
With over ten years of experience, Richard has worked with companies like McKinsey and co-founded two companies—PYRI and SOLUS—that focus on environmental solutions. Tune in to learn how innovative design can help create a sustainable future!
