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.

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.

Sports lovers have countless ways to enjoy sporting events this summer, from last week's Wimbledon tennis and EURO 2024 football finals to next week's launch of the Summer Olympic Games in Paris, France.
At the ESG Insider podcast we're continuing our miniseries on Sustainability in Sports. This week we’re talking with Rocío Torres, Head of Sustainability and Responsible Business at Atlético de Madrid, a Spanish professional football club with more than 100 years of history.
"There's no doubt that over the past years the importance of sustainability has been increasing," Rocío explains. She says the club is devoting increasing attention to sustainability thanks to buy-in from management, a changing mindset about sustainability as an opportunity, and regulation like the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
She also talks about the challenges the club is facing, including managing a huge volume of sustainability data. Addressing sustainability challenges like climate change and human rights "is a very long process," Rocío says. "Our aim is to become part of the solution of these problems."

Summer is in full swing, the finals of the UEFA Euro 2024 European Football Championships take place this weekend and the Summer Olympic Games kick off later this month. So at the ESG Insider podcast, we’re turning our attention to sustainability in sports.
Professional sports are big business, and as we hear from today’s guest, the sporting world is facing pressure to become more sustainable from many sources, including spectators, fan associations, investors, sponsors and even regulation like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
We speak to Christian Hartmann, CEO of the Global Sustainability Benchmark in Sports. GSBS is an independent nonprofit that aims to tackle the challenges of the 21st century by analyzing and rating the sustainability performance of professional sports organizations.
"We know that sport is a global phenomenon, and therefore, we believe that sport as a whole has so much power. It has really the chance to help us as a global society to become more sustainable,” Christian tells us. "We want these organizations to be role models, to take real action and being really accountable ... And one of the big steps into this direction obviously is to be able to measure your performance.”

In today's episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we explore key themes from the GreenFin 24 conference — including data, disclosures, and advancing the low-carbon transition in emerging markets. We also hear how these topics are prompting an evolution in the role of sustainability professionals and driving a need for greater internal collaboration.
"There's a sense that we can make progress and there are viable solutions out there," says Kristina Wyatt, Deputy General Counsel and Chief Sustainability Officer at carbon accounting software company Persefoni. "There are plenty of projects, technologies, opportunities to deploy capital toward the transition. But one of the real challenges is speed and the need to deploy more capital faster."
We hear how banks are changing the way they look at energy transition opportunities in an interview with Samantha Norquist, Chief Sustainability Officer at Maryland-based Forbright Bank.
To understand how the role of accountants and sustainability professionals is changing, we talk with Sarah Digirolamo, US Audit & Assurance Financial Services ESG Leader and US Investment Management ESG Leader at Deloitte & Touche LLP, which is an audit, consulting and advisory firm.
"What's really interesting about the sustainability space is that in order for it to evolve in the way that people are looking to make change, it takes great collaboration, probably more so than any area I've seen before," Sarah says. "So many are being asked to come outside of their comfort zone."
And we explore how the current landscape is impacting the way companies approach diversity, equity and inclusion in an interview with Alphonso David, President and CEO of the Global Black Economic Forum, a group dedicated to elevating and advocating for Black and marginalized communities around the world.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we look at how to unlock financial flows for nature and transform heavy polluting industries into environmentally friendly ones.
We hear how the nature finance landscape is evolving from Dr. Carter Ingram, Managing Director at nature and climate change investment and advisory firm Pollination Group. She says that despite growing interest and investments in nature-based solutions, significant gaps remain.
Part of the solution is understanding “the degree to which changes in your dependencies or impacts on nature can have a financial impact on your business or on the economy," Carter says.
We also talk with Tom Chi, Founding Partner of At One Ventures, a venture capital firm based in San Franscisco. The firm is investing in a world where humanity becomes a net positive to nature, which Tom says requires rewriting how entire industries work.
"The industries that have been damaging our relationship to nature are the same ones for the last 50 years," Tom tells us on the sidelines of the GreenFin conference. "It is time for us to go back to that and actually do the hard work again. ... We've got to do the industries different foundationally."

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we talk with Paul Bodnar, Director of Sustainable Finance, Industry and Diplomacy at the Bezos Earth Fund, about solving the finance gap for climate and nature.
The Bezos Earth Fund was created in 2020 with a $10 billion commitment from Jeff Bezos, founder of e-commerce giant Amazon. The fund aims to disperse that $10 billion in grants by 2030 to fight climate change and protect nature.
Paul talked to us on the sidelines of the GreenFin conference in New York about how to increase innovation and investments in nature, food systems, and climate change.
"What really drives fast, deep and broad change in the global economy is markets. Finance, technology, business model innovation — those things spread like wildfire. And so we have to activate those vectors in service of climate action," Paul says.

June brings the start of the Atlantic hurricane season, and in this episode of the ESG Insider podcast we explore why 2024 is expected to be extremely active — "possibly historically" active, says today’s guest, Tim Hall.
Tim is a Senior Climate Scientist at S&P Global Sustainable1, where his team has developed a hurricane forecasting model that projects over 14 hurricanes and eight major hurricanes this season. In the episode, Tim explains his near-term forecast and how climate change is leading to more intense storms over the longer term. As we hear in the episode, this has big implications for many stakeholders, from homeowners and insurers to financial institutions and central banks, which are increasingly turning to climate modeling and climate stress test testing to understand future risks.
Tim also outlines how science and technology are fast evolving to help stakeholders make better-informed decisions to adapt and prepare for climate change.
“It's a very interesting time of rapid change in the field — both in the technology and what we can forecast and in what detail, and also the sophistication and expectations of the stakeholders," Tim says.
