Summary

With wars raging and supply chains blocked, we’re in an era of geopolitical chaos. This week on Zero , Akshat Rathi talks with Gerald Butts, chairman of the political risk consultancy Eurasia Group and former chief of staff to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. They discuss how investors and companies are responding to the energy shock, where the green transition might falter and who will emerge winners a decade from now.  Zero is a production of Bloomberg Green .
