Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What does an economist actually do, and what can economics tell us about climate change?
Q: What does an economist actually do?
Economists explain that the field is broader than daily finance news, describing economics as a social science that sits between multiple disciplines and focuses on how people and societies allocate resources, not just money. They emphasize using economics to understand trade-offs, public policy, and long-term decision making.
Kate Meyer: Making Environmental Impact Visible
Q: What would a Planetary Facts label tell me about a product, and how is it useful for everyday decisions?
A Planetary Facts label would show how much of a daily environmental budget a product uses, broken down across multiple footprints (e.g., carbon, water, waste) with a visual representation, enabling quick comparisons between similar products and helping consumers see the real costs behind their choices.
Kate Meyer: Making Environmental Impact Visible
Q: Could you tell us what Planetary Accounting is and how it differs from traditional sustainability metrics?
Planetary Accounting measures the environmental cost of something relative to an overall planetary budget, integrating multiple domains like carbon, biodiversity, water, and waste, and places these in context so decision-makers can see trade-offs. It moves beyond emissions-only accounting to provide a fuller picture of environmental impacts.
Sarah Bogle: From Climate Risk to Climate Resilience
Q: Tell me more around ASAP and its membership, and who should be considering getting involved in this professional body?
ASAP welcomes anyone who wants to help their organization or community prepare for the future, from teachers and project managers to policymakers and bankers, emphasizing collaboration across sectors rather than limiting to a single field.
Land, data & decision-making - Rebecca Mills, Lever Room
Q: How do you balance advisory work with product development?
By leveraging years of client work, they identify repeat pain points and turn them into practical tools and platforms, productizing knowledge into Canopi, Tilt, and a Net Zero certification to scale impact while maintaining revenue from advisory services.
