Moonshots
With the 50th anniversary of the moon landing this week, there is a lot of talk of ‘moonshots’ – those super-ambitious goals that can galvanise innovation and inspire us to great heights. I would have three moonshots for 2050: 1) to see a carbon positive world, with 100% renewable energy and carbon sequestration products and technologies at scale; 2) to meet the biodiversity conservation target of 50% of land and coastlines protected; and 3) along with increased veganism, for ‘clean meat’ (lab-grown) to have replaced livestock, thus ending the suffering of billions of animals. What would you moonshots be?
