Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The coming boom in biodiversity credits - Louise Aitken and Erik van Eyndhoven
Q: Louise, carbon markets have been disappointing; what makes biodiversity credits likely to fare better?
The lessons come from voluntary markets: focus on high integrity, trust, and clear articulation of benefits. A growing global understanding of nature's dependencies and the use of tested financial instruments underpin confidence that biodiversity credits can deliver real, verifiable outcomes.
Food fighters - politics and food with Jack Bobo
Q: What practical steps can companies take to communicate innovation without turning off their audience?
He suggests a contextual risk-communication framework that inspires rather than scares, focusing on future outcomes people care about, communicating with a narrative that ties problems to desired futures and showcasing tangible, credible progress.
Food fighters - politics and food with Jack Bobo
Q: Do you agree that disruption from new technologies like precision fermentation will change the dynamics of food production, and how should we prepare for that?
Jack argues that while technology will disrupt traditional farming, the bigger disruptions are climate, geopolitics, and trade; these should be anticipated with adaptive strategies and a reframing of the narrative to emphasize opportunity and collaboration rather than opposition.
Food fighters - politics and food with Jack Bobo
Q: You've had a storied career. Tell us about how you've got to this position and what the current role involves for you?
Jack explains his background in global food policy, his focus on communicating about the future of food, and his emphasis on using science and storytelling to engage the public and policymakers on nutrition, sustainability, and innovation.
NZ's Climate Performance, Seen from the Outside – John Lang
Q: What role does data play in countering climate misinformation and myths?
Data must be paired with compelling storytelling to counter common tropes, such as the 1% emissions argument, by showing the global impact and interconnections with other sectors and nations.
