Will Big Bets to Solve Climate Change Pay Off? With Rajiv Shah
Are world hunger, pandemics and climate change \u201cfixable\u201d \u2013 or is mitigating their impacts the best we can hope for? Is there any point in making them moonshots? In his new book, Big Bets: How Large-Scale Change Really Happens, Rockefeller Foundation President and former Administrator of USAID Rajiv Shah explains how going big impacts motivation \u2013 even if the result is a Big Fail. We speak with Shah about the outcome of the recent UN Climate Conference in Dubai (and the overwhelming presence of Big Oil), why he thinks global institutions like the World Bank and the IMF need to be revamped, and whether billionaire philanthropists are the answer to the world\u2019s woes (spoiler: they aren\u2019t).\nQuestions?
