In this episode of the Futurized podcast, host Trond Arne Undheim interviews Bruce Usher, Author and Professor at Columbia Business School about Investing in the Era of Climate Change, which is the subject of Bruce's most recent book. They discuss the variety of available investment options, how the field is going, and the future investment outlook. 

Futurized goes beneath the trends to track the underlying forces of disruption in tech, policy, business models, social dynamics and the environment.

I’m your host, Trond Arne Undheim (@trondau), futurist, scholar, author, investor, and serial entrepreneur. I am a Research scholar in Global Systemic Risk, Innovation, and Policy at Stanford University. Join me as I discuss the societal impact of deep tech such as AI, blockchain, IoT, nanotech, quantum, robotics, and synthetic biology, and tackle topics such as entrepreneurship, trends, or the future of work. On the show, I interview smart people with a soul: founders, authors, executives, and other thought leaders, or even the occasional celebrity.
