In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we explore the role artificial intelligence can play in advancing sustainability outcomes — and how the energy demands from generative AI programs could change over time.
We talk with Hussein Shel, Chief Technologist and Head of Upstream Digital Transformation, Energy and Utility at Amazon Web Services (AWS), a cloud-computing and technology services company and a subsidiary of Amazon.
AI has been a major focus at sustainability events throughout 2024 and will be a topic at the UN’s COP29 climate change conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, which begins Nov. 11.
In the interview, Hussein explains how AWS is leveraging AI, machine learning and more efficient computing hardware to address sustainability challenges, particularly in optimizing energy usage and integrating renewables onto the grid.
"Most of these models are getting more and more optimized,” Hussein says. “They're becoming more and more intelligent ... reducing potentially the consumption of energy needed to retrain."
This interview took place on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus, where ESG Insider was an official podcast during Climate Week NYC.

Today marks the end of COP16, the UN’s biodiversity-focused Conference of the Parties in Cali, Colombia. The UN’s climate change conference, COP29, is slated to begin Nov. 11 in Baku, Azerbaijan. One common thread in these events is the challenge of addressing the big financing gaps for a range of sustainability issues — including climate, nature, and social equity.
In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we explore how the fixed income market is evolving to help fill in some of those sustainable finance gaps. We talk with Stephen Liberatore, Head of ESG and Impact for Global Fixed Income at Nuveen. Nuveen is a global asset manager with about $1.2 dollars trillion in total assets under management.
“One of the things that is really important to our investors is that we look for issuers and issues that have environmental benefit or environmental stewardship," Stephen says. "The issues that they're trying to identify and invest in are longer-term issues. They're not things that are going to be resolved overnight."
We talked with Stephen on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus, where ESG Insider was an official podcast during Climate Week NYC.

The UN's big climate change conference, COP29, starts Nov. 11 in Baku, Azerbaijan. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we're exploring technology solutions for the low-carbon transition, including in developing countries.
We talk with Vaishali Sinha, Co-founder and Chairperson of Sustainability at ReNew, a decarbonization solutions company deploying renewables and other low-carbon technologies in India.
"A global mindset is what is required in some of these very new and emerging technologies — and we must work together to be able to solve for it," Vaishali tells us.
We also talk with Holly Paeper, President of the Commercial HVAC Americas business at Trane Technologies, a building technology and energy solutions company. Holly says tackling Scope 3 indirect supply chain emissions is the "next frontier" for Trane Technologies and other companies working in the built environment.
"The challenge is huge in the built environment," she says. "The good news is there's technology that exists today to change that, and we're really starting to see more and more customer demand for those solutions."
We also sit down with Garrett Quinn, Chief Sustainability Officer at Smurfit Westrock, a sustainable paper and packaging company with operations in dozens of countries. Garrett describes some of the ways the company is looking to lower its emissions.
We talked with today’s guests on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus, where ESG Insider was an official podcast during Climate Week NYC.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we’re talking climate finance ahead of COP29, the UN climate change conference taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan in November 2024.
Scaling climate and clean energy financing will be a major focus at COP29, which many are calling the “finance COP.” Both the public and private sector will play a role in addressing the massive climate financing gap for developing countries, including through blended finance.
To learn more, we speak to Vijay Bains, Chief Sustainability Officer and Group Head of Environmental, Social and Governance at Emirates NBD, the largest bank in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. COP28 took place in Dubai in 2023, and Vijay explains how the event acted as a “lightning bolt” to bring global attention to sustainability in the region.
We also speak to Marina Severinovsky, Head of Sustainability North America at asset manager Schroders, about the role that policy and regulations can play in helping financial institutions unlock private investment in climate and other sustainability issues.
And we hear about the importance of a just transition that deploys capital to the regions that need it most in an interview with Prerna Divecha, Head of Climate and ESG Credit Risk Solutions at S&P Global Market Intelligence.
We conducted these interviews at The Nest Climate Campus, where ESG Insider was an official podcast during Climate Week NYC.

Throughout Climate Week NYC, we heard about the importance of collaborating across silos to find solutions to climate change, the energy transition and nature loss. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we hear concrete examples of what that looks like in practice.
We speak with two climate scientists about how their organizations are working to communicate across disciplines and build partnerships that can inform areas like policy and urban planning:
-Terry Thompson is Chief Science Officer at the S&P Global Climate Center of Excellence
-Kevin Reed is Chief Climate Scientist at the New York Climate Exchange and a Professor at Stony Brook University.
We also speak to Marina Severinovsky, Head of Sustainability North America at asset manager Schroders, who says the role of policy in enabling solutions was one key Climate Week takeaway. “The biggest thing that's blown me away entirely is the amount of discussion about policy advocacy and engagement of policymakers,” she tells us.
And to understand how the private sector is partnering with government, we sit down with Shannon Thomas Carroll, Assistant Vice President of Global Environmental Sustainability at AT&T. Shannon explains how the telecommunications giant teamed up with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the US Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory to launch a climate risk and resilience portal for US communities.
We conducted these interviews at The Nest Climate Campus, where ESG Insider was an official podcast during Climate Week.

At Climate Week NYC 2024, many conversations focused on improving public understanding of climate change — also known as climate literacy. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we explore how increasing climate literacy can help prepare the future workforce for the green job opportunities that will come with the low-carbon transition.
We sit down on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus with Kathleen Rogers, President of Earthday.org. This is a nonprofit that grew out of the first Earth Day in 1970 and has a goal of raising public awareness about environmental issues.
We also talk with Frank Niepold, Senior Climate Education Coordinator at the Climate Program Office of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Frank co-authored a new interagency climate literacy guide for educators, communicators, and decisionmakers.
To understand how culture can help educate about climate change, we speak to AY Young, a United Nations Young Leader who uses his music to spread awareness about sustainability issues including the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
And we hear how some companies are approaching the topic in interviews with Gayle Schueller, Senior Vice President and Chief Sustainability Officer at technology and manufacturing company 3M; and Holly Paeper, President of the Commercial HVAC Americas business at Trane Technologies, a building technology and energy solutions company.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we sit down with California State Senator Henry Stern at Climate Week NYC.
Sen. Stern introduced one of two climate laws that California enacted in 2023, Senate Bill 261, which requires certain companies to prepare reports on climate change risks. The other, Senate Bill 253, requires certain companies to estimate and publicly disclose their greenhouse gas emissions.
The senator discusses the California laws and the future of climate disclosure in an interview on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus, where ESG Insider was an official podcast during Climate Week.
“We're facing a gauntlet of climate risk, and so we have the authority to get ahead of that and know what's coming,” Sen. Stern says.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we sit down at Climate Week NYC with Sue Jenny Ehr, the interim CEO of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
SBTi is a nonprofit that develops standards, tools and guidance to allow companies to set greenhouse gas emissions reductions targets in line with what is needed to reach net-zero by 2050 at latest.
Sue took on the interim CEO role in July 2024. In the interview, she talks about how SBTi is evolving — including its approach to revising its corporate net-zero standard.
"We want to ensure as we become more formal and structured and robust and scale up that we continue to listen to what the climate community needs and do our best to address those needs," Sue tells us on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus, where ESG Insider is an official podcast.

One theme emerging from Climate Week NYC 2024 is the link between nature loss and climate change. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, National Audubon Society CEO Dr. Elizabeth Gray explains how nature can provide solutions to climate change.
Audubon is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of birds and their habitats throughout the Americas. The North American bird population has declined by about 3 billion since 1970 and climate change is putting the remaining bird population at risk, Elizabeth tells us on the sidelines of Climate Week NYC.
"Birds are the proverbial canary in the coal mine. They are basically telling us about the health of the planet,” Elizabeth says. "Audubon has been listening to birds for over a century and what the birds are telling us right now is that the planet is really in crisis."

In the latest episode of the ESG Insider podcast we sit down with CDP CEO Sherry Madera on the sidelines of Climate Week NYC.
CDP is a not-for-profit charity that runs a global disclosure system for investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. Sherry talks to us about how the organization has evolved since she took the reins nearly a year ago. She explains how CDP fits into the broader landscape of standard setters like the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and rules like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
She also explains how nature plays an increasingly prominent role in CDP’s approach to disclosure.
“This year, CDP created a combined questionnaire, which included forests [and] water in our base climate questionnaire because we saw that these things were not separate,” Sherry says. "If we are not protecting nature, we are not protecting overall climate either.”

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we sit down with Climate Group CEO Helen Clarkson on the sidelines of the Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremony Sept. 22.
Climate Group is the nonprofit that organizes Climate Week NYC in partnership with the UN General Assembly and the City of New York. In the interview, Helen explains the global to-do list Climate Group released at the start of Climate Week NYC, outlining concrete actions governments and businesses can take in the next year to address the emissions gap.
She also explains how Climate Week NYC sets the stage for COP29, the UN’s annual climate change conference that Azerbaijan will host in November 2024 — and why this gathering is shaping up to be heavily focused on climate finance.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we hear from the world’s largest asset owner, Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM).
NBIM is Norway’s $1.7 trillion-dollar sovereign wealth fund and owns almost 1.5% of all shares in the world’s listed companies. To understand how NBIM is exerting that influence, we speak to Chief Governance and Compliance Officer Carine Smith Ihenacho.
Carine explains how NBIM is approaching engagement and divestment. She tells us about the climate action plan she helped design and implement. And she explains why NBIM is leaning into its responsible investing ethos amid the ESG backlash occurring in some parts of the world.
“For us, ESG is not about politics,” she says. "We look at it from an investor perspective and from a long-term value creation perspective. For us, it's really about risk and opportunities.”

In recent episodes of the ESG Insider podcast, we explored the role of carbon markets in reaching climate targets, and how the voluntary market is evolving. In this episode, we're exploring the intersection of climate change and biodiversity through the lens of the voluntary carbon market.
Carbon credits come from different types of projects, and we’re exploring the role that biodiversity can play in nature-based carbon credits such as those that sequester carbon in trees by planting a new forest or preserving or restoring an existing forest.
To understand how the conversation around biodiversity and carbon credits has evolved, we talk with Dr. Spencer Meyer, Chief Ratings Officer at BeZero Carbon, which provides project-level credit risk assessments for voluntary carbon credits.
"There is a golden opportunity right now, as we're investing in climate solutions, to be also having a significant uplift for biodiversity around the world," Spencer tells us.
We explore the challenges and benefits of including biodiversity in nature-based projects with Jonathan Kim, Chief Sustainability Officer and Vice President of Climate Impact at Terraformation, which focuses on developing carbon credits that improve biodiversity by planting native species.
Jonathan says that planting trees and other native species can also help ensure a forest remains healthy and continues to generate carbon credits for a long time.
"When you use native species, you actually take advantage of thousands of years of co-evolution, all designed to help a forest thrive," Jonathan says. "The forest becomes more resilient against things like pests and extreme weather and starts doing its own natural regeneration."

With Climate Week NYC just around the corner, this episode of the ESG Insider podcast explores what to expect from a week that will convene thousands of stakeholders for hundreds of events across New York City Sept. 22-29.
The ESG Insider podcast will be on the ground covering many of these events, starting with the Opening Ceremony hosted by Climate Group. This is the nonprofit that organizes Climate Week in partnership with the UN General Assembly and the City of New York. The theme of Climate Week this year is “It’s Time,” which speaks to the sense of urgency to address climate change as more people globally feel the effects of a warming world.
During Climate Week, ESG Insider will be an official podcast partner of The Nest Climate Campus, a three-day event taking place Sept. 24-26 at New York City’s Javits Center. The campus brings together companies, nonprofits, government, academia and the community at large.
In today’s episode, we talk with Britton Jones, the Founder and CEO of Next Events Media Group, a purpose-driven events organization that produces the Nest Climate Campus. Britton discusses what to expect from Climate Week, what the topics of focus will be and what it will take to make the week a success. He also talks about how to prevent Climate Week conversations from becoming an echo chamber where sustainability professionals are preaching to the choir.
“We want to make sure that we can meet people no matter where they are in their climate journey,” Britton says. “This is most definitely an all-hands-on-deck type of situation."

The US is heading into Labor Day weekend, and at the ESG Insider podcast we’re turning our focus to the topic of jobs. Specifically — how is the talent landscape changing for ESG and sustainability professionals?
To learn more we speak to Ellen Weinreb, founder of Weinreb Group, a boutique recruiting firm focused on ESG and sustainability candidates. Ellen points to an increasing focus on compliance, data governance and regulation, which she says is leading to a “big rise” in ESG controller roles.
“Right now the latest shift is around regulatory and then also around the nonfinancial reporting and the roles that the regulators are playing in terms of getting the data that's auditable and verified and assured. And so, there are more roles popping up in the controller's office,” she tells us.
Ellen also talks about why companies are seeking sustainability leaders who can be “corporate chameleons” — and what these candidates are seeking in potential employers. She shares her advice for candidates earlier in their careers considering a sustainability role. And she talks about what’s next for sustainability recruiting.

On the ESG Insider podcast, we often hear that achieving the low-carbon transition on a global scale will require a mix of solutions. Carbon markets are one key tool available to companies and countries.
In this episode, we bring you the second of a two-part miniseries on carbon markets. In part one last week, we explored how voluntary and compliance carbon markets work. We also heard that voluntary carbon markets have faced some recent challenges and criticisms that have eroded confidence and dampened trading in those markets.
In this episode, we dig into what is driving those challenges and how the voluntary market is evolving to address the concerns. We explore different types of voluntary carbon credits that are currently available in the market. And we hear how voluntary markets can play a role in international decarbonization efforts.
We talk with Dr. Spencer Meyer, Chief Ratings Officer at BeZero Carbon, which provides project-level credit risk assessments for voluntary carbon credits. Spencer explains that carbon markets are relatively new and are still developing the necessary safeguards and infrastructure.
"What we've been seeing over the last year or two are quite a few new initiatives really to improve the quality and integrity in the market," says Spencer. "In general, I think the market is moving in a strong direction. But it will take some time to work out the kinks."
We also speak with Frédéric Gagnon-Lebrun, Global Director for Climate Policy, Finance and Carbon Markets at South Pole, a carbon project expert and climate consultancy.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we bring you part one of a two-part miniseries on carbon markets. We dig into voluntary and compliance markets, including how they're structured and used, how they're evolving, and the challenges and opportunities ahead.
We talk with Roman Kramarchuk, Head of Climate Markets & Policy Analytics in the Research & Analytics business at S&P Global Commodity Insights. He explains how carbon markets have expanded around the world in recent years — and how that growth is expected to continue.
"We've got a quarter of the world's emissions now covered by some form of carbon price, and that number is only going to go up," Roman says.

Even as society becomes increasingly reliant on computers and digital technologies, billions of people around the world lack access to the internet and related services. And this matters because this lack of access can have a negative impact on the economy and exacerbate existing inequalities, particularly in developing countries.
In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we're exploring how to close the global digital divide in an interview with Michele Malejki, Global Head of Social Impact at computer and information technology company HP. Michele is also Director of the company’s nonprofit philanthropy, the HP Foundation.
Michele tells us that closing the digital divide requires a holistic approach to the challenge, which is particularly important as technologies evolve.
"For us at HP, digital equity is going to be achieved when every person has equitable and inclusive access not just to the skills and knowledge, but really to the services and the opportunities that will allow them to thrive in a digital economy," she says.

The automotive sector is going through big transformation thanks to a variety of factors — everything from new technologies to the evolving way consumers think about their cars. In this latest installment in the ‘Women in Leadership’ series of the ESG Insider podcast, we’re talking with Fedra Ribeiro about leading through times of change.
Fedra is Executive Vice President at Bosch, a global supplier of technology and services, and she speaks to us about her long history in the auto industry, including a recent stint as CEO of Mobilize Beyond Automotive. Mobilize is a brand of the French car company Renault Group that aims to identify new challenges and anticipate trends in the evolving mobility space.
Fedra says she doesn’t fit certain auto industry stereotypes — “Besides being a woman, I'm also not coming from a country that has a long tradition in automotive, and I'm not an engineer. So I don't know which of these three aspects has maybe marked my path more intensely.”
This has presented challenges and opportunities in her career, Fedra says. “As a leader, I encourage everyone to own their own individuality, embrace who you are and use it to your advantage, and recognize that each of us has a unique perspective and experience that can add value to the conversation.”

It's opening day for the Summer Olympic Games in Paris, France, and at the ESG Insider podcast we're continuing our Sustainability in Sports miniseries.
This week we're talking with Julia Palle, Vice President of Sustainability at Formula E, the motorsport championship launched a decade ago for racing electric vehicles. She explains how Formula E is taking a holistic approach to sustainability that includes environmental and social issues, how EV technology is evolving, and the central role of data in sustainability decision making.
"Data is always the starting point," she says, whether the sport is managing its carbon footprint or measuring its social impact.
Julia also talks about the leadership role that sporting organizations can play in achieving global climate goals — for example, through Formula E's work with the UN Sports for Climate Action initiative.
The sporting industry has the capacity to "gather billions of people and inspire them through the power of sport to adopt more sustainable practices in their everyday lives," Julia says.
