climate emissions

In this week's episode of the podcast I'm talking Prof Stephanie Bertels - Prof Bertels is the Director of the Centre for Corporate Governance and Sustainability SFU Beedie School of Business as well as Founder and Executive Director of The Embedding Project.

We had a fascinating conversation covering the reasons why climate change matters to business today now more than ever (spoiler alert - it has to do with the risks to global markets), the setting of climate goals by organisations, and the fantastic work the Embedding Project is doing in this space, the setting of net zero emissions goals across industries, climate justice, and the climate interest trends of students in SFU.

This was an amazing podcast to make. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation, and I learned so much. I hope you enjoy listening to it too.

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

Welcome to the inaugural episode of the Climate 21 podcast - thank you for your interest.

This is a podcast which aims to talk to senior executives, climate scientists, and other interested stakeholders to share successful climate emissions reductions stories/strategies to help inspire others on this important journey.

For this first episode I invited SAP Executive Board member Thomas Saueressig to come on the podcast to talk about SAP's Climate 21 initiative (after which this podcast is named), to explain the thinking behind it, how it can help significantly reduce climate emissions, and where we go from here. I can't overstate how significant the potential of this initiative is, which is why I'm excited to kick off this podcast, and the discussions that follow.

Why Thomas? Well as head of Product Engineering at SAP, this is very much his baby. Also, it was Thomas who introduced Climate 21 to the world at our Sapphirenow event in June of 2020 (after a preview of it at Davos at the start of the year), and it was Thomas who wrote about the need for Climate 21 here.

So, if you have any comments/suggestions or questions for the podcast - feel free to leave me a voice message over on my SpeakPipe page or just send it to me as a direct message on Twitter/LinkedIn. Audio messages will get played (unless you specifically ask me not to).
