Deanna D’Alessandro is the director of the University of Sydney’s Net Zero Institute… So why does she want it dissolved?
“In 2051, my goodness, I hope we do not need the Net Zero Institute,” she says. “We should have solved this problem by then.”
So what needs to happen in the meantime? Deanna shares the personal connection to the planet that sparked her passion for climate science, and explains how and why the Net Zero Institute pulls together the work of physicists, chemists, lawyers, business experts and policy makers in the fight to save the planet.
You’ll also visit one of Deanna’s colleagues, Associate Professor Alejandro Montoya, who’s invented a novel way of recycling minerals from electronic waste.
