  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cecilia Tam, IEA Head of Energy Investment Unit, on the IEA’s 2026 World Energy Investment Report
Q: Are emerging markets being adequately funded to participate in the energy transition, and what is the key barrier?
The primary barrier is policy and regulatory uncertainty; improving policy predictability and revenue clarity is essential to attract risk-adjusted capital into emerging markets, enabling broader participation in the energy transition.
Cecilia Tam, IEA Head of Energy Investment Unit, on the IEA’s 2026 World Energy Investment Report
Q: How do current energy prices affect investment in clean energy versus fossil fuels?
Higher energy prices act as a catalyst for increased spending on clean energy, innovation, and efficiency, while the economics of projects—more than labels—ultimately determine investment flows; this can accelerate decarbonization as costs decline and demand for low-carbon power grows.
Cecilia Tam, IEA Head of Energy Investment Unit, on the IEA’s 2026 World Energy Investment Report
Q: What is the central message of the IEA World Energy Investment Report regarding electrification and energy security?
Electrification is accelerating across both advanced and emerging economies, driven by energy security concerns, with policy and regulatory support needed to translate this into sustained investment in grids, renewables, and nuclear; the outcome will depend on how markets, technology costs, and policy align to move beyond mere energy addition to a genuine transition.
Sander van Stijn and Colin Tissen of PGGM on Balancing Risk, Return, and Sustainability in Investing
Q: How do you make sure that that third dimension, sustainability impact, is measurable, investible and scalable?
We focus on avoiding harm, mitigating ESG risks, contributing to stability, and ensuring additional positive impact.
Sander van Stijn and Colin Tissen of PGGM on Balancing Risk, Return, and Sustainability in Investing
Q: What were some of the biggest organizational and cultural hurdles in moving from 2D to 3D?
Change is always difficult; we involved people in developing new policies and processes to ensure support.
