Today on the 2nd Renaissance, we have the honor of introducing a visionary and futurist economist who has been mapping out the sustainable future of our world for years - Dr Ross Garnaut. With a keen eye for economics, sustainability and the environment, Dr Garnaut's thoughts and insights are a window into a better and more sustainable tomorrow. He has been shaping the discourse on how we can create a world that is not just economically prosperous, but also environmentally conscious for the last 20 years. In today’s episode, we sit down to decode his latest books - *Superpower and Superpower Transformation* - and the latent (exponential) potential for Australia in the decarbonised future. It is an energising conversation with a climate optimist, but also a sobering wake up call for immediate climate action.    ### Preview - Superpower Transformation: The Green & Gold Transition with Dr Ross Garnaut ![](https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/tbtyemqias/swatch)   A few words on pedigree… Ross Garnaut AO is one of Australia’s leading economists and thinkers.
