With Climate Change being one of the most challenging tasks in the 21st century, Leonard Vuylsteke investigates the most effective way to tackle this. He believes that we need to reinvent the way we approach the greatest problem of our generation; he took inspiration from climate economist Bjorn Lomborg works. Technology will be the way forward to addressing the complex issues at hand. As we journey into fervous discussion about climate change policies, some might be skeptical about the effectiveness of these policies. In this talk, Leonard Vuylsteke attempts to offer alternative solutions to tackle Climate change. Leonard Vuylsteke is an advocate for worldwide discussions about modern problems and their solutions – and he is vocal about it. Recently, the climate change debate has intrigued him and he considers some important questions. Moreover, he delved into Bjørn Lomborg’s work and was fascinated with his cost-benefit analysis of climate change solutions. This venture inspired him to be vocal about his views on this topic.
