Tapping the trillion dollar government edge with Overture VC, Ep #98 27:12

4d ago27:12

27:12

Every once in a while I come across an investment firm with a really different edge and perspective. Overture VC is one such firm. Their specialty is policy – not just understanding the unique opportunities climate tech companies have with government incentives and helping them navigate that tricky terrain, but also actually lobbying for policies t…

Can fashion be sustainable? An inside look with Jason Kibbey & Evan Wiener, Ep #97 45:30

11d ago45:30

45:30

The apparel industry has a massive impact on the environment. The industry is the second-highest consumer of water and it drives almost 10% of global carbon emissions. Despite thousands of smart people working to make this industry cleaner and all sorts of investments by brands, emissions are still increasing. To learn about this problem and get an…

Staying cool and saving energy with Mojave HVAC, Ep #95 32:20

1M ago32:20

32:20

After a summer of record heat waves, I’m sure we’re all grateful for air conditioning. And we know, it’s not just about comfort or productivity, but with extreme heat, being able to cool buildings keeps people safe. Yet, it comes at a cost: air conditioning today is responsible for about 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions and demand is set to tr…

How environmentalists could decide the election, Ep #94 48:24

2M ago48:24

48:24

We’re weeks away from a historic election. It’s one that will decide the course of climate action in the United States at a pivotal moment, a moment when we can’t afford to slow down or send mixed signals abroad. And, it’s an election that all expect to be decided by just tens of thousands of voters. These are all facts that I’m sure you know alrea…

Investing in Public Climate Companies with ScopeFour Capital, Ep #93 34:42

2M ago34:42

34:42

If you believe the climate transition is creating trillions of dollars of opportunity, then backing public companies whose business models are centered on that transition and whose growth will be driven by it seems an almost obvious approach. That’s exactly what Heather Beatty and ScopeFour Capital are doing, and I was excited to hear what they’re …

Wellington Management's $385m Climate Fund with Greg Wasserman, Ep #92 37:38

2M ago37:38

37:38

I’m always excited to talk to climate investors who have been around for a bit, those who were investing during the Cleantech 1.0 phase, saw the ups and the downs, and have stuck through to our current climate tech boom. Some of the challenges that the earlier era of cleantech investing saw – like high capex and long payback periods – are still rel…

Inside IBM's sustainability strategy with Justina Nixon-Saintil, Ep #91 35:45

3M ago35:45

35:45

It’s a sad truth that many companies are struggling or failing to meet their sustainability targets. Sensitive to anti-ESG pressure, interest rates, and other macro factors, many are also holding back from making new commitments. Currently, less than 10% of the Fortune Global 500 has a net zero commitment in place. Amidst this context, it's all the…

Hedge funds' role in climate action with Corbin Capital, Ep #90 35:43

4M ago35:43

35:43

Hedge funds aren’t exactly known for contributing to climate progress or other ESG goals for that matter. So I was surprised to learn about Corbin Capital, a firm that aims to leverage the activist strategies of hedge funds not just to generate market-exceeding returns for their clients, but to advance environmental and social objectives. There are…

Going for gigatons with Clean Energy Venture's Temple Fennell, Ep #89 39:52

5M ago39:52

39:52

We know we need to be investing trillions of dollars annually into the climate transition. Venture capital is just a small slice of the pie, but there’s simply no time to slow down its contribution to advancing climate solutions. In 2023, however, climate tech venture funding dropped 30% to $32 billion. Whether this was a temporary slowdown caused …

Fighting for climate disclosures with Ceres, Ep #88 37:59

6M ago37:59

37:59

After two years of waiting, the SEC finally came out with its new climate disclosure rules. As expected, it was met with a mix of celebration, disappointment, criticism, and lawsuits. The suits came from those who felt the rules went too far and from those who felt they don’t go far enough. Disclosure rules are critical to ensuring companies are ta…

Mastercard's master plan for sustainable consumption, Ep #87 36:28

6M ago36:28

36:28

If you think of Mastercard as simply a piece of plastic that enables you to buy stuff, you’re not seeing their vast network of businesses, their billions of customers, or the potential influence they have on consumer behavior. There have been countless efforts over the years to encourage consumers to shop more sustainably, but when it comes to the …

Fundraising tips & climate tech outlook with Earthshot VC, Ep #86 44:23

Scaling home upgrades through CSAs with Scope Zero, Ep #85 26:24

7M ago26:24

26:24

We know that motivating homeowners to invest in energy efficiency retrofits and home upgrades is hard. Energy efficiency might not sound glamorous, but across the US, retrofits can actually cut our residential energy usage in half. That’s why when I met Scope Zero CEO Lizzy Kolar, I was excited to learn about her company’s novel way of motivating h…

Oxford's Climate Tech Opportunity Report with Jamil Wyne, Ep #84 42:15

8M ago42:15

42:15

We know that addressing climate change will take trillions of dollars of investment. According to the Climate Policy Institute, we’ll need to spend over $10 trillion annually for decades. and we only just exceeded $1 trillion for the first time in 2022. I’ll confess, I find these big numbers hard to conceptualize and I’m always glad for more nuance…

Unlocking the Potential of Scientists with Activate, Ep #83 37:47

9M ago37:47

37:47

At the center of climate progress are scientists. They’re developing new technologies with which we can build a new, more sustainable global economy. Moving inventions from a lab to startup companies to scaled products, however, takes more than science. Research scientists had long lacked a support structure to help them build successful businesses…

Sierra Club Foundation's Shifting Trillions Initiative to Transform Energy Finance, Ep #82 43:16

9M ago43:16

If you’re listening to this podcast you’ve probably heard of the Sierra Club. It’s one of the largest environmental organizations in the United States, with about 4 million members and a history of advocacy going back to 1892. But what do you know about the Sierra Club Foundation? It’s a $200m organization that, as you’d guess, supports the Sierra …

Smart ACs and hot cities with Sensibo's Ran Roth and Prof. Matthias Roth, Ep #81 40:23

9M ago40:23

40:23

I know it’s wintertime for many of you, but that doesn’t mean we can ignore how cities around the world are heating up and how air conditioning is a growing contributor to climate change. Air conditioning is responsible for about 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Today, about 20% of electricity used in buildings and about 10% of global electri…

Inside Atlassian's Sustainability Playbook, Ep #80 41:11

9M ago41:11

41:11

We all know that companies around the world are working to reduce their emissions and, hopefully, achieve net zero. But what does it take to set up a sustainability program? What are the steps in the process? What are the considerations along the way? And who are the partners one might work with? Most of this work happens behind closed doors, but s…

How advertising can accelerate climate progress with Wieden+Kennedy, Ep #79 42:05

9M ago42:05

42:05

What do you think of when you think about advertising and its role in climate change? I’ll confess the first thing that comes to mind is the fossil fuel industry’s multi-billion dollar campaign to discredit climate science, deliberately confuse the public, and delay climate action. But, of course, like every industry, advertising has a role to play…

Rockefeller Foundation's $1 billion catalytic climate commitment, Ep #78 34:46

10M ago34:46

34:46

It feels fitting to start 2024 talking about the big numbers, the big climate financing gaps we face and ways to fill them. We know that addressing the climate crisis requires trillions of dollars of investment. It’ll need to come from government, corporations, and big finance, but there’s another stakeholder with an important contribution. Private…

Replacing plastic using captured greenhouse gases with Newlight, Ep #77 29:18

11M ago29:18

29:18

There’s a lot we can learn from nature. Processes that happen in nature keep resources in flow, by-products are used and contribute to the health of the ecosystem and there is no waste. Fallen leaves enrich the soil, photosynthesis produces oxygen for animals to breathe, and microorganisms decompose methane and carbon dioxide and produce PHP. Oh, n…

Building global climate resilience with Global Resilience Partnership & Green Africa Youth Organization, Ep #76 45:44

12M ago45:44

45:44

As we all feel the impacts of climate change more and more each year, the need to invest in climate resilience becomes more and more clear. The World Bank estimates that by 2050, there’ll be more than 1 billion climate refugees. It’s not about choosing between solutions to dramatically cut emissions and investments that help communities prepare for…

Impact investing in climate with Impact Engine, Ep #75 41:52

12M ago41:52

41:52

This episode focuses on impact investing and the particular approach of an impact investing firm based in Chicago named Impact Engine. Now that I’ve said the word impact four times, I should probably unpack the jargon. This class of investing aims to create direct, measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. It’s relate…

Salesforce's climate investing playbook, Ep #74 47:44

1y ago47:44

47:44

When it comes to big companies’ sustainability commitments, I’ve long been impressed by Salesforce. They made sustainability a core company value and pledged to put the full power of their business behind protecting the planet. Hold your skepticism for a minute – this is more than just big promises. They achieved net zero residual emissions and tra…

The climate transition we’re living through brings so many opportunities to rethink our infrastructure that it could easily be the entire focus of this podcast week after week. Today’s episode focuses on a handful of those opportunities: converting waste into valuable upcycled materials, renewable energy infrastructure, biomass, biofuels and more. …

Geothermal heat pumps with Dandelion Energy, Ep #71 37:27

1y ago37:27

Tackling the plastics crisis via blended finance with Circulate Capital & the Circulate Initiative, Ep #69 46:46

1y ago46:46

46:46

When it comes to plastics, we’re in a real bind. We have yet to develop and scale attractive alternatives to the petroleum-based plastic products we all use every day, and the plastics industry drives well over a billion tons of greenhouse gasses, that’s roughly 4% of total global emissions and plastic-related emissions are on track to double by 20…

Sunrise Movement & young people's fight for bold climate action, Ep #68 45:07

1y ago45:07

45:07

No matter who I talk to – whether startup founders, investors, or corporate sustainability leaders – when I ask what is needed to really move the needle on climate change, everyone always comes back to the to importance of policy change, of making climate an electoral issue and holding political leaders accountable to take bold action. There’s no d…

AI-Powered Climate Tech Breakthroughs with Neotribe's Kittu Kolluri, Ep #67 31:31

31:31

When it comes to climate tech, there are a lot of new kids on the block, investors that have brought billions of dollars of new capital and have helped fund climate innovation we badly need. It’s rare that you find folks who have been investing in climate tech for over a decade, let alone two decades. So I was thrilled to sit down with Neotribe’s S…

Climate-first investing with GreenPortfolio & Earth Equity Advisors, Ep #66 43:40

From the growing demand for climate-positive investing, new funds, new approaches for financial advisors, and entirely new platforms for managing one's investments are taking off. This is just the beginning. It's hard to imagine how different investing might be as tens of trillions of dollars transfer to younger sustainability-motivated generations…

Creating a circular economy of carbon with LanzaTech, Ep #65 44:32

1y ago44:32

44:32

Fossil carbon is not just burnt for energy. It’s also used as an ingredient for millions of everyday products. But what if, rather than extracting new fossil carbon from the ground, the carbon could be sourced from waste and kept in circulation. That’s exactly what a company called LanzaTech is doing. For almost two decades LanzaTech has been using…

Climate TRACE's bold plan to map emissions with satellites, sensors & AI, Ep #64 41:08

1y ago41:08

41:08

We all know that addressing climate change means eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, but have you ever stopped to wonder how we know how much we’re actually emitting? The truth is we haven’t really known, but instead rely on estimates. These estimates fail to provide very specific data about where exactly emissions are coming from, when, and what…

Electrifying fleets with Spring Free EV & Spring Lane Capital, Ep #63 41:44

1+ y ago41:44

41:44

The EV revolution is well underway, and we’re clearly in the midst of a massive transition away from gas-powered cars. Consumers are opting for EVs not only to end their costly dependency on fossil fuels, but also because EVs are often just better cars. For fleet managers, the calculus is different and more challenging. Switching to EVs requires no…

Turning waste into energy onsite with Closed Loop Partners & HomeBiogas, Ep #62 39:17

1+ y ago39:17

39:17

I love talking about food waste. It’s one of the biggest contributors to emissions and something that we all contribute to every day. Reducing how much food goes uneaten is, of course, a big part of the solution, but there’ll always be organic waste. If it sits in a landfill, it’ll emit methane and miss the chance to be used as a resource. Today’s …

Most of our episodes go deep into specific opportunities to address climate change through new technologies, investment opportunities, advocacy, and policy.

Carbon-negative pigments with Nature Coatings and Regeneration.vc, Ep #60 27:03

Decarbonization requires not only eliminating fossil fuels as a main source of energy, but also replacing them as key ingredients in objects we use every day. If you want a crash course on just how much our material world depends on fossil fuels, check out the book How the World Really Works by Vaclav Smil. It’s a fascinating, though sobering read,…

Making sustainable investing easy with Carbon Collective & Powerhouse Ventures, Ep #59 41:32

1+ y ago41:32

41:32

If you’re listening to this podcast you clearly care about climate change and it might bother you that your 401k is likely investing in fossil fuels. Many employers have yet to offer sustainable 401k plans, and it sends billions of dollars of capital into fossil fuels every year. Even ESG funds often invest in fossil fuels. Today’s conversation is …

Decarbonization intelligence with SINAI & Energize Ventures, Ep #58 36:24

36:24

We often hear about public commitments to reach net zero, but not the nuance, choices, costs, and complexity big companies face when working to decarbonize their global operations. Behind the scenes, any company that is making climate commitments has teams of people focused on decarbonization strategy, carbon accounting, and reporting to figure out…

Piloting through the valley of death with NREL, NineDot & Community Energy Lab, Ep #57 46:01

1+ y ago46:01

46:01

Perhaps you’ve heard of the Valley of Death? It’s the phase of development that often kills off startups before they can reach scale. One key challenge is needing to test and refine their technology and gain true validation. For a few lucky startups, this is where the Wells Fargo Innovation Incubator comes in to help them develop pilots that provid…

Sustainable shopping momentum with Future & Back Market, Ep #56 46:38

1+ y ago46:38

46:38

Today’s episode focuses on sustainable consumption. I know what you’re probably thinking – that the climate crisis requires systemic change and that shifting consumer behavior is slow, it's difficult and it simply won’t add up to enough in terms of the emissions reductions we need. And, I agree – sustainable shopping isn’t enough, but it’s still es…

Mushrooms that eat waste with Mycocycle & Gener8tor, Ep #55 38:46

Today, we’re going to talk about mushrooms. More than a delicious pizza topping, fungi can be useful in many different ways and it might even play a heroic role in addressing climate change. How might mushrooms help? Let's count some of the ways. They can be eaten and help reduce our dependence on animal protein. They can replace animal-based leath…

City Councilmembers Nithya Raman of Los Angeles & Yassamin Ansari of Phoenix on local climate action, Ep #54 44:16

1+ y ago44:16

44:16

When it comes to climate policy we hear a whole lot about what’s happening or not at the federal level, and it's easy to miss the critical role of states and cities in responding to climate change. Whether you know it or not, your local government is shaping how your community is preparing for and responding to climate impacts. It’s also making cho…

Innovation to restore our oceans with Sustainable Ocean Alliance and Oceans Uprise, Ep #53 48:19

1+ y ago48:19

48:19

Today, we're taking a deep dive into the ocean. Oceans are central to our planet’s climate system. They regulate temperatures, host a vast array of biodiversity, and here's a crucial point - they absorb about a quarter of all CO2 emissions, acting as a massive carbon sink. But this isn't without consequence. Ocean acidification is a direct result o…

Addressing climate change is not just about eliminating emissions and removing as much carbon from the atmosphere as possible.

You probably know that buildings and the built environment account for 40% of our emissions and about 40% of our energy use. Many bright minds are working on this problem, but it remains a tricky one.
