  • Hope for the future!

    Thank you for an excellent podcast interviewing industry leaders and bringing to us such in-depth and varied knowledge on a sustainable future.

    When we look around us it is very easy to be pessimistic about the future and what world future generations will inhabit. These episodes always leave me with a sense of hope and challenge me to play a meaningful part.

    Excellent work!

Dr. Carolyn Kousky, Environmental Defense Fund, on Insuring Against Climate Risk
Q: How is the insurance industry being reshaped by climate-related risks?
We are seeing growing market stress, increasing volatility, and the need for public sector involvement.
Dr. Carolyn Kousky, Environmental Defense Fund, on Insuring Against Climate Risk
Q: What's at stake in your view if insurance markets begin to break down at scale?
The economic impacts would be profound, as entire communities left exposed once insurance coverage is lost.
Maurits Dolmans, Senior Counsel with Cleary Gottlieb, on the Climate Prisoner’s Dilemma and Fiduciary Duty
Q: Why are rational investors making collectively irrational decisions regarding climate risk?
Rational investors struggle under the prisoners dilemma, where they hesitate to act unless they believe others will also act, resulting in collective risk.
Maurits Dolmans, Senior Counsel with Cleary Gottlieb, on the Climate Prisoner’s Dilemma and Fiduciary Duty
Q: Can institutional investors truly fulfill their climate responsibilities within the current legal frameworks?
Yes, fiduciary duties now require financial fiduciaries to take action on climate risks due to the new evidence on system-level financial risks from climate change.
Prof. Katy Huff, former US DOE Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy, on the US Nuclear Renaissance
Q: How do you think about the costs or how you frame the costs of nuclear relative to other technologies?
Katy argues a fair comparison should be made between clean, firm energy sources rather than contrasting with less reliable renewables.
