The green revolution is unstoppable: Adam Tooze on “the single most dramatic story in the history of energy”
Conflict in Ukraine and the Middle East have exposed the vulnerability of fossil fuel supply chains and prices. Coupled with Chinese supply of cheap renewables hardware that makes the transition to green energy unstoppable, despite political resistance in some parts of the world. So says historian and podcaster Adam Tooze, director of the European Institute at Columbia University. In this wide-ranging interview, recorded at the World Economic Forum's Summer Davos in Dalian China in June, Tooze also talks about how Europe and China can avoid a massive trade war over cars; the future of economic development in the Global South; and what he sees as the greatest threat to humanity that most of us are choosing to ignore.

Chief Economists Outlook: what bond yields and interest rates tell us about the global economy
• 40 mins
Why are there so many headlines right now about bond yields and interest rates? And what does it all mean for the global economy? The latest Chief Economists Outlook, a regular pulse-check of the global economy, shows an uptick in the number of economists expecting stability rather than a downturn. We ask EY's Chief Economist Gregory Daco why that is. And he weighs in on the issue of interest rates: "Higher commodities prices, higher oil prices ... are feeding into higher inflation and leading to expectations of central banks around the world tightening monetary policy to prevent inflation from becoming an anchored phenomenon."

How cutting emissions is future-proofing industries beyond the ‘green premium’
• 61 mins
Cutting the greenhouse gas emissions from heavy industry has often been framed as a cost problem: why pay more for low-emission products when the conventional versions are cheaper? But many companies are pushing ahead, with an eye on staying competitive, securing supply chains and preparing for future markets. This episode hears from two companies and an investor who say low-emission technologies are already making business sense. All three are involved in the First Movers Coalition, a World Economic Forum initiative working with companies and governments to make low-emission technologies commercially viable.

What I tell my Stern Business School students on how to thrive in the age of AI
• 33 mins
For today's undergraduates, the impact of artificial intelligence on the jobs market means massive job uncertainty. So how should young people prepare themselves for the unknown unknowns of a career in the age of AI? "The uncertainty will be overwhelming for a fraction of them, but I think for a fraction of them they will look back in 10 years and say this was a period of such great opportunity," says Arun Sundararajan, a professor of entrepreneurship, technology operations and statistics at New York University's Stern School of Business.
