Climate action is already paying off, and can pay off even more, so how do we juggle our maelstrom of democracy in shifting geopolitics, powerful leaders stepping back from a climate agenda and the golden opportunity of our global net zero transition?Join Rebecca Mikula-Wright and I from the recent Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC) summit, as we discuss what you need to do as a leader in your organisation to make this happen, what you may get caught out on, and how by aligning industry tipping points to maximise the speed of our climate transition, we can create cascading exponential impact.Many Australians don't realise that the country already generates 40% of its energy from renewables (and it spiked to 75% recently), and they don't know how quickly the nation has been moving and the policies implemented to support it.One things is clear - getting on with things on voluntarily is not fast enough, the investment industry is calling for regulation to enable them to close the gap between the science and the achievable impact.Dig into the stories of change and find out more via:Climate Action Pays Off Net Zero Asset Managers AllianceClimate Action 100+And a big thank you to the IGCC team, David Russell and Tim Buckley, who I featured previously from the summit, as well as those groups supporting these initiatives;Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC)Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC)Ceres, Inc. & Principles for Responsible InvestmentIf you're a leader in this space, I look forward to connecting with you. Please help spread the message by sharing this with your network.Support the showFor the latest insights on leadership, impact investing, global challenges, business strategy and storytelling, make sure to join me on LinkedIn, and get the newsletter, Smarter Impact - Every Thursday!

Join the Chair of the Global Steering Group for Impact Investment and I for this deep discussion on our changing world;".. There are a lot of areas in public policy where government really struggles;  keeping people out of prison, keeping children out of care, homelessness.  My view is 'Come on we're failing, let's open the door and try to find new, better solutions' It's not easy, but it's really worth it, if you push through the difficulty and strike that partnership between the elements in society where everyone brings what they're good at."In the first part 1 of this conversation we look at;- Moving beyond simply asking "What's Government doing about it?" or "What's the role of business" ?- Admitting when you don't have all the answers- Whole of Society approaches to a collaborative future- Achieving cross-sector Impact Partnerships- The challenges of accountability and trustDoing less harm is not good enoughWhat would it take to have a mindset that got up every morning, asking 'how can I combine sensible, adequate financial return, with measurable, positive, intentional impact?'In this section, we discuss:- The spectrum of ambition in the $40BN ESG movement- The rise and necessity of regulatory taxonomies - Social and environmental impacts of externalising cost- Integrating a third lens into investment decision making- Inertia, human impulses and leadership- Setting frameworks, culture and expectation - Establishing spaces for others to thrive and fullfill their potential in- Creating signals of approval and encouragement that people leap atThe plan to break through systemic inertia".. We need the money the flow; if we're serious about the SDGs and climate, if we accept that there are big, important emerging economies that have to transition to clean energy, if we accept our responsbility in that, and we are alive to the huge economic opportunity attached to investing in support of these transitions, then why wouldn't we try to put all our brainpower and energy behind thinking 'okay, how do we make this easier? How do we make this flow?' - because it's urgent, right? .."  - The Rt. Hon Nick HurdIn this section we discuss- Globalisation and Geopolitics  - The rise of the Global South- The African Union and the BRIC networks- Trillion dollar annual gaps and the challenges of humanity- Complexities, barriers, problems and risks- Transforming the landscape of investible supply- The distortion and magnification of risk- Demonstrable investment success- Mindset and system inertia- Dismantling barriers- Reducing the cost of capital- Accelerating copycat cultureIt's hard to argue against impact transparency With over 40 countries having setup their own National Advisory Boards, and a dozen or more countries wanting to join, how does the GSG build ecosystems that enable impact transparency and the flow of investment?  In the final part of our discussion; - Questions the GSG poses to catalyse change- Transparency as the great disinfectant- How Board behaviour is changing- Methodologies to put monetary values on impact- Changing the standards used to assess company performance- The popularity of French Solidarity pensions invested for social benefit- This is real.  It's inevitable and it'Support the showFor the latest insights on leadership, impact investing, global challenges, business strategy and storytelling, make sure to join me on LinkedIn, and get the newsletter, Smarter Impact - Every Thursday!

".. Companies are saying data is the new oil - a lot of companies have really, really cool data that they just need to learn how to put into a story. And that's what Digital PR is, putting that data into a story to then get publications to pick that up and link to you, not mention you, link to you, because that builds your brand." - Harry Sanders, Founder of StudioHawk.Join me for a quick chat and a pile of insight, with a dominant force in Australian digital, that is expanding the StudioHawk #SEO magic globally.You'll also get the full transcript of this in my Smarter Impact Newsletter later this week, so make sure to follow my profile and subscribe to the newsletter (https://lnkd.in/grXqMebK).Harry and I get excited about Digital PR, take a look at 'how things are done these days' with a focus on treadmills and placing in Glamour, news.com.au and Nine, and how this all ties into Google's E-E-A-T score (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness).Ultimately, I'd suggest you do everything you can not to waste tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars in effort and wages, and come out with a mediocre outcome, because you don't have a digital expert in your team.If you want great outcomes that work, you MUST ensure there is continuity and ownership of the final result, and that you give decision making power to the person leading the process.I regularly see companies using different providers at each stage, without someone leading the process, and critical things are always missed.- Business strategy-- Inc. defining your preeminent strategic driver, critical issue resolution and accountabilities- Digital content strategy-- Articulating that strategy into stories, Digital PR & SEO- Brand / website design / collateral updates- Website development- Completion of the Customer Journey Marketing loop- Team training for best use of new toolsThese all tie together, and this IS a hierarchy for a reason. You can work on any part of it as a individual project, though it must happen in context if you want effective results.Ignore this and you'll simply create greater drift in what you've already got, and expensive rework when you're sad at the mediocre outcomes.As my dad would ask me; why not DIRFT?

"There is no doubt in my mind that if we continue on the path we are going, there will come a time when we will have no choice but to come together to deal with climate change, but by then it would be far too late." - Mr Anote Tong, Former President of the Republic of Kiribati.  Join me from the conclusion of the Climate Investor Forum, held by Climate Zeitgeist, for this short interview with the Special International Guest, having just completed his keynote and on-stage discussion with Peter Castellas, the dinner session being opened by Sally Capp.  Regularly speaking on the world stage, Mr Tong has been a stalwart of bringing climate change onto the global agenda, calling for a moratorium on new coal mines in 2015, saying "Let us join together as a global community and take action now" - though well before that, hosting Kofi Annan, United Nations Secretary General in the atoll nation of Kiribati, speaking with Pope Francis, Former US President Barack Obama and at the COP meetings.Kiribati is an average of 2 metres above sea level, to which the IPCC has stated with many other pacific islands, will likely be submerged within coming decades.  To this end, Mr Tong has brought 'Migration with dignity' into discussion, being quoted as saying "We are being told that we may have to abandon our islands, the places where our ancestors have been buried, where our children have a home."Anote is a passionate believer in family and respectful collective action, his work includes overseeing the creation the largest protected marine area in the world, 480,250 square kilometers, known as the Phoenix Islands Protected Area (PIPA), and later adopted as a UNESCO World Heritage site.".. so as long as we continue on the path that we are heading, then we will continue to be headed towards this catastrophe. And I can assure you, once that catastrophe comes around the corner, there will be no politicians, there will be no partitions, there's no division, because it's going to be a rush for survival.

Introducing Rosemary Addis, Founding Partner of Mondiale Impact and Ambassador for The Global Steering Group for Impact Investment (GSG), in the next of my contributor conversations for 'No more greenwashing: Driving evidence-based practice in ESG & Impact Investing'.We discuss the idea of perfect being the enemy of good, which came up during my conversation with Cliff Prior quoting Elias Masilela, and the reality that we've always been making decisions based on imperfect information.Moving into the trajectories of fund flows, market volatility and fiscal conditions, we discuss the step change occuring in impact methodologies, my discussion with Kristin Siegel and the Impact Management Project.Q. Where are all the skilled people? What does this labour transition look like and where is it coming from?In answer we talk through various channels including the excellent and very accessible course from Catherine Clark and Duke University on Coursera; 'Impact Measurement and Management for the SDGs', and the work of Tideline and 'Bridges Insight' by Bridges Fund Management Ltd.Additionally, I ask questions that you need to be able to answer as a Directors or Business Leader; How do you go from being reactive to perceived risk, to asking “What would good look like? What would it look like for us to be able to manage this risk well and to move forward in ways that we're also using impact as an identifier of different types of opportunities to differentiate ourselves in the market?”If you haven't yet got our free report 'No More Greenwashing: Driving evidence-based practice in ESG & Impact Investing' you can download it at http://bit.ly/nomoregreenwashingSupport the showFor the latest insights on leadership, impact investing, global challenges, business strategy and storytelling, make sure to join me on LinkedIn, and get the newsletter, Smarter Impact - Every Thursday!

Meet Lyle Wildes, the real life Breaking Bad / Walter White, a philosophy professor that acquired a brain injury crashing his truck into a bridge, losing all empathy, becoming a drug dealer making synthetic cocaine, being arrested and spending twenty years in jail, enabling him to discover the key to reducing recidivism;85% of inmates have 3 or more ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) factors, compared with 7% of the general population that have 3 or less.  And we can fix it before kids get to jail.Join us in this deep-dive into humanity, the brain and the link between Adverse Childhood Experience (ACEs), as well as:- changing the culture of prisons- the 500 year old, failed model of incarceration- why it's an antiquated way of treating people who attack the power structure- domestic violence, neuroplasticity, Positive Attitude classes and ending cycles of trauma- the rolling door of the US prison population, with 25% being released each year and 25% being arrested (700,000 people) - how this creates the legal vehicle for slaveryI greatly appreciate those in our criminal justice systems who give so much to the safety and cohesion of our society, this conversation asks 'could we do it better?'Thanks to the ACLU, Anti-Recidivism Coalition, Amnesty International USA, Center for Court Innovation, Charles Hamilton Houston Foundation, Inc., Color Of Change, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights, FWD.us, Right On Crime, The Marshall Project, Southern Center for Human Rights, Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice (CJCJ), The Gault Center, InsideOUT Writers, Californians for Safety and Justice, Coalition for Public Safety, Critical Resistance, Dream.Org, Prison Fellowship International, Prison Policy Initiative, Right On Crime, The Sentencing Project, Survived and Punished, Vera Institute of Justice.If you found this valuable, you are welcome to support the show on PatreonSupport the show

Join Mark Williamson, Executive General Manager of the Clean Energy Regulator and myself from Victorian State Energy Summit with thanks to the Smart Energy Council.We discussed the soon to be formed Australian Carbon Exchange, the new Guarantee of Origin program for our upcoming hydrogen economy which will eventually spread to ammonia, aluminium and steel, the specific role of the Clean Energy Regulator in the market, and discussed Australia's world leading rooftop solar penetration and the findings in the latest Quarterly Carbon Market report.In light of Zoe Daniels and Monique Ryan Chairing two of the day's panel discussions, Mark and I discussed the continuity of programs and outlook of the Regulator through the recent transition of government, and their prioritised focus on declining the baselines for Australia's big emitters via the CER's Safeguard Mechanism.I asked Mark for the simplest way he could give me to make power consumption relatable to someone outside the energy industry, and we talked through the country being on 50% renewables by 2026 and the governments 82% by 2030.Closing out, we touch on the breadth of innovation at scale related to the Certificate of Origin program with folks like Fortescue Future Industries and the Sun Cable project, our previous ultra low, negative energy pricing for solar during the day and our upcoming investment in and necessity for upgrading our transmission lines.Follow the links for more, and you can watch this episode and connect with business and industry leaders via my LinkedIn profile - click here to visit.Australian Carbon Exchange - http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/Infohub/Markets/australian-carbon-exchangeGuarantee of Origin - http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/Infohub/Markets/guarantee-of-originSafeguard Mechanism - http://www.cleanenergyregulator.gov.au/NGER/The-safeguard-mechanismThanks to John Grimes, Lindsey Guest, Nicola Card at the rest of the team at the Smart Energy Council for their efforts, and you can find this interview and many others on the Smarter Impact YouTube channel at http://youtube.com/smarterimpact.Support the show

Join Paul Holthus, CEO of the World Ocean Council and I from the 2022 APAC Impact Investment Summit, as we discuss the purpose and scale of the World Ocean Council in creating industry leadership in keeping the global ocean healthy, such as by lowering emissions by reducing biofouling on vessels, and the need and opportunity for investing in and developing port reception facilities to tackle broad solid waste challenges.  These include the 150 million tons of plastics in the ocean, the 11 million tons being added every year, the 5 countries responsible for 95% of this waste.We move on to "Ships of Opportunity" which is working to use the 90,000 merchant vessels and three to four million fishing boat to collect data to help document and responsibly use the ocean. We also talk about the great need for investing in the creation of technologies that will improve our understanding, monitoring and management of oceans and climate change. I ask what Paul what he's changed his mind about over the past decades, and what needs to happen next when it comes to 'Corporate Ocean Responsibility', before we discuss the open oceans;Paul outlines how open ocean carbon sequestration is the only frontier big enough to enable us to sequester the gigatons of carbon needed to truly tackle a warming planet, and leaves our conversation with his one piece of advice for investors focused on climate change and leaving a better future for the world.Find out more and join the organisation at https://www.oceancouncil.org; Paul and team are particularly happy to help investors really understand where they can make a difference.If you enjoyed the interview, please give this a like, leave a comment, subscribe for more and share the video - you can connect with me on LinkedIn at http://linkedin.com/in/philipbateman and find out more about how we help world leading impact funds and business tell their story to investors at http://bravocharlie.globalSupport the show

"Cascading, compounding and aggregating" - I caught up with Rosemary Addis at the close of the recent Impact Investment Summit Asia Pacific, and in this episode we begin by talking about the last two years since we met in person, science, intersectionality, COVID and climate impacts, the latest IPCC report, our slip backwards in poverty and education and the impact this has on our ability to achieve the 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.  This is paralled with seeing a profound sense of the importance of human connection and shifts in peoples search for meaning and their investing choices.  We also touch on findings by the World Health Organization, supply chains, the unequal impact of natural disasters on women, the link between geography and inequality, and put a call out to people running organisations as to how they can get things back on track, and bring about equally cascading, compounding and aggregating positive change.We talk through David Ritter, CEO of Greenpeace Australia Pacific's recent call to action around lobbying Government, and then move into a series of reflections by Rosemary;Are you sacrificing being directionally correct for being precise?  And could you end up pricesely wrong?  What should we be focusing on?  Do we have the systems now to move with confidence?  What does Rosemary mean by "it's not about measurement - it's about management" ?  We also look at the new Impact Measurement and Mangement for the SDGs course which you can signup for here - https://bit.ly/impactforSDGsProduced by Philip Bateman and Bravo Charlie.  Thanks for liking and sharing this content.  It means a lot, and you can watch the video of this interview at https://youtu.be/p3qeDYVCVL8Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/SmarterImpact)

Maybe, because so few of our political leaders have had courageous imaginations, they are in fact led by others.Maybe, because we are ashamed of our racialist past, we forgot how to hold onto the good bits. Maybe, Australia being home to the world's oldest continuous culture is just too difficult for its white settlers to comprehend.Australia needs to address these issues if it is to become more than a half-formed idea.”- Julianne Schultz.More about the guests and host:https://moniqueryan.com.auhttps://nicoletteboele.com.auhttps://teamdespi.com.auhttps://bit.ly/JulianneSchultzPresented by Philip Bateman and produced by Bravo CharlieSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/SmarterImpact)
