Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Global Climate Policy Stalls & The Radical Truth of Market-Led Solutions | Yvo de Boer
Q: What has been your most satisfying period or project in driving climate action across different sectors and regions?
The period I found most satisfying was my time with the Global Green Growth Institute in Korea, because it allowed shaping practical solutions that connect economic growth with sustainability, helping diverse stakeholders see a viable pathway forward rather than preaching from a distance.
The True Cost of Coffee: Child Labor, Greenwashing & The Living Wage | Fernando Morales-de la Cruz
Q: What needs to change in the business model of the coffee industry to fix these problems?
He argues for a transparent, value-sharing model that raises the farm-gate price through consumer contributions (e.g., a small per-cup levy), coupled with living wages, radical transparency, and governance reforms demanded by investors and regulators.
The True Cost of Coffee: Child Labor, Greenwashing & The Living Wage | Fernando Morales-de la Cruz
Q: Tell us a bit about yourself and your big purpose.
Fernando describes his transformation from journalist to activist, his work with the Lewis Hine Organization, and his mission to end child labor and slavery in global supply chains by changing business models and engaging top investors and CEOs.
ESG Frontline Practitioner's Guide: Social Impact & Development Finance in Southeast Asia w/ Anthony Zola
Q: What can this audience do to help you in this field?
