  • Smart and digestible

    This pod takes a challenging and complex subject matter and breaks it down in a very engaging, understandable way. Jay is able to connect with some extremely knowledgeable and qualified guests and meet them where they’re at, offering a new element to the climate finance puzzle with each episode. After hearing one more recent episode for the first time, I went back to the beginning to get the full context of what they’re doing and really enjoyed the journey. Keep up the great work!

  • We need more like this

    As someone whose work centers extensively around carbon markets, I find this podcast to be extremely well produced, insightful, and enlightening. Mr. Tipton's obvious knowledge on global warming and the climate crisis coupled with a host of expert guests leaves me waiting excitedly for each new episode, and it is especially refreshing to hear about these topics from a financial and market standpoint, subjects which are oft brushed over or forgotten in the climate change discussion.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FEATURED EPISODE: Why Climate Capital Isn’t Flowing – and How to Fix It with Sean Penrith of Gordian Knot Strategies
Q: What are the key barriers preventing climate capital from flowing, and how can they be addressed?
The lack of standardized, transparent metrics and risk profiles for climate projects makes mainstream investors wary; increasing clarity, developing investment-ready structures (especially for nature-based solutions), and showing scalable, bankable opportunities can help unlock private capital.
S4 E5: Sean Penrith & Kerry Morrison Break Down the Santa Marta Conference
Q: What makes Santa Marta different from previous COP negotiations?
It emphasized concrete economic and financial pathways, linking fossil fuel decline to price volatility, fiscal resilience, and long-term competitiveness, rather than mere rhetoric.
S4 E4: Campbell Moore on Turning Carbon Projects into Investable Businesses
Q: Why do carbon markets matter, especially now with interoperability in focus?
They matter because they can channel climate finance across borders, connect supply and demand for viable nature-based solutions, and help close the gap between current progress and the urgency of 1.5°C pathways by creating investable opportunities for communities and ecosystems.
S4 E2: Mark McPherson on City Forest Credits and Human Impact
Q: What do you want to see towards the end of the year?
For City Forest Credits to have abundant demand for credits that enables the preservation of urban forests.
S4 E2: Mark McPherson on City Forest Credits and Human Impact
Q: What would you say the overall state of the urban forests looks like across the US right now?
The state of urban forests is not good, with documented loss of tree canopy due to various factors including urbanization and inadequate funding.
