About Wicked Problems

Wicked Problems is a show about climatetech - the intersection of technolology, capital, people, and politics that will shape the future and whether you'd want to live in it. Co-hosts Richard Delevan and Claire Brady been helping tell clean-energy and sustainability stories for more than 20 years as journalist and consultants. We're trapped in the UK but with our global experience we love talking to inventors, investors, analysts, innovators, and activists about the latest turns in the jagged transition away from fossil fuels and carbon that is reshaping every part of our lives.
