The last Climate 21 episode of 2020

Quick announcement - to help serve you the podcast audience better I have created a chat room on my TomRaftery.com website. Just go to TomRaftery.com/climate and there you can leave ideas for topics for upcoming podcasts, speaker suggestions, feedback on episodes, or create your own topic for people to chat about

3 back episodes including:

  • The inaugural episode with SAP Executive Board member Thomas Saueressig where he introduced SAP’s Climate 21 initiative, after which this podcast is named (btw, climate21.org)
  • Episode 2 featured Shell Executive Committee member, and director of their Downstream business Huibert Vigeveno where we discussed Shell’s plans to decarbonise. As one of the world’s largest emitters, I felt it was important to have a rep from Shell on the podcast. In future episodes I hope to also talk to senior executives from other companies in this space
  • Episode 3 featured Microsoft’s Chief Environmental Officer Lucas Joppa, and if you’ve not already listened to this episode, I urge you to do so. It was excellent to hear from Lucas all of the initiatives Microsoft are undertaking to go carbon negative, and suck from the atmosphere all the emissions their business has been responsible for since they first started operations in 1975

This may be the end of 2020, but it is not the end of the podcast obviously, I’ll be back again in January with some great new episodes such as:

  • Paul O’Connor EVP Head of EMEA ESG Debt Capital Markets at JP Morgan talking about how the investment markets are rapidly moving money away from carbon intensive assets
  • Prof Stephanie Bertels, Director, Centre for Corporate Governance and Sustainability SFU Beedie School of Business / Founder, Embedding Project
  • Auke Hoekstra - Program Director NEON research at Eindhoven University of Technology — leads a team of 35 PhD researchers investigating power grids, and the electrification of transportation - he’s also debunker-in-chief of ICE FUD on Twitter!
  • Rodi Basso - CEO of the E1 Series and
  • Mark Miller - Mark was involved in the creation of the CARB and EU ETS Emissions trading platforms
  • And more
