Prof Alex Edmans: Does divestment from fossil fuels work?

Finance expert Professor Alex Edmans is sceptical that divesting from fossil fuels will make an impact and reduce carbon emissions. With his experience on the World Economic Forum’s Global Future Council on Responsible Investing, he chats to Hannah and Rob about how a carbon tax is a no brainer climate solution instead.
