In this special extended episode, journalist, author and economics expert Ed Conway joins Dr Anna to explore the future of sustainability. Alongside Rio Tinto’s Chief Scientist, Nigel Steward, and Froydis Cameron-Johansson, Rio Tinto's Global Head of Health, Safety, Environment and Security, they discuss the challenges and solutions of responsible sourcing and manufacturing, taking a deep dive into materials such as copper, iron and lithium – all of which can be found in Ed’s indispensable item, his earbuds. They also look to the future for better sustainable practices and debate how to find the critical balance required to meet growing demands while preserving the environment.
