“I'm yet to meet a grazier that doesn't want a 5-15% feed conversation ratio improvement.” says Tom Williams, CEO of Number 8 Bio. Producers motivated by not losing 10% of their feed to the atmosphere.Enteric methane from livestock represents one of the rare climate challenges where environmental impact aligns with economic opportunity. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and  it also represents wasted nutrition. Approximately 10% of feed energy consumed by ruminants escapes as methane rather than supporting growth or milk production. Few climate solutions offer both emissions reduction and immediate productivity gains for those implementing them.But here's the challenge: the rumen contains billions of microorganisms competing, collaborating, and interacting across complex metabolic pathways. Human knowledge of this biological complexity remains incomplete. Finding molecules that reduce methane without compromising animal health or performance requires casting an extraordinarily wide net.Today we are joined by Tom Williams, founder and CEO of Number 8 Bio, a synthetic biology company developing feed additives to reduce enteric methane emissions. Number 8 Bio's journey demonstrates rapid adaptation to scientific reality. Initially engineering yeast to produce bromoform and seaweed molecules, the team quickly recognized cost barriers for feed additive markets. They pivoted entirely, developing an automated in vitro rumen screening system processing approximately 100 tests weekly. Over several years, they screened thousands of potential products—peptides, enzymes, probiotics, natural extracts, small molecules, and combinations—seeking winners through systematic trial rather than theoretical prediction.The company now focuses on a single organic molecule showing methane reductions and productivity improvements in grazing systems. Initial feedlot trials revealed hydrogen buildup and intake reductions, so Williams followed the science toward pasture-based applications first. The discovery platform—now enhanced with bioreactors predicting live animal productivity outcomes—positions Number 8 Bio to develop additional molecules for different markets and stacking strategies as regulatory pathways allow.Send us Fan Mail

In this eye-opening episode of Talking Wit' Kevin & Son, Kevin sits down with investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker Olga Loginova, a voice at the forefront of climate storytelling and environmental justice.From witnessing the aftermath of Chernobyl disaster to documenting climate displacement across the United States, Olga shares how truth, science, and storytelling intersect to reveal one of the biggest crises of our time.This conversation goes beyond climate change-it dives into human cost, forced migration, lost communities, and the fight to be heard in a world driven by profit over planet.

With the recent 'AI Boom', the energy demand of computing has risen dramatically. As generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots such as Chat GPT, Claude, Copilot and Grok become more mainstream, tech companies are racing to build and power new data centres - the physical 'computer factories' that store and process our information and online services. This new infrastructure is significantly increasing greenhouse gas emissions - but tech companies argue that the climate innovations and efficiency improvements catalysed by AI tools will offset negative impacts. Could such claims prove true, or are they greenwashed PR? Alasdair puts this question to writer and energy analyst Ketan Joshi, who recently authored a report on AI's climate impacts alongside several leading nonprofits. Further reading:Read more from Ketan on climate and AI on his blog, here. 'Does Generative AI “Work”?

In climate investing, credibility is often associated with breakthrough technologies or large-scale energy infrastructure. This episode challenges that assumption by asking a different question: what if some of the most compelling climate investment opportunities lie within the everyday realities of farming?My guest this week is Sarah Nolet, Co-Founder and General Partner at Tenacious Ventures. With a background that spans systems engineering, hands-on farming experience, and venture capital, Sarah now leads an investment firm focused on building climate resilience across global agri-food systems.In our conversation on Sustainable & Responsible Investing 360, Sarah explains why traditional venture capital models often struggle in agriculture, and why solutions must be designed around the physical constraints farmers face every day.We also discuss:Why the “productive middle” of commercial agriculture offers significant climate and investment return potential How organizing investment theses around enduring market needs helps avoid technology hype cyclesWhy measuring real climate outcomes, not just sustainability practices, creates stronger alignment between impact and financial performanceThe conversation reframes climate-smart agriculture as a pragmatic investment opportunity, one where improving farmer economics can drive both measurable climate outcomes and competitive venture returns.Featured Guest Sarah Nolet, Co-Founder and General Partner, Tenacious VenturesEpisode Resources:Sarah Nolet on LinkedInTenacious Ventures WebsiteConnect with SRI360°: Sign up for the free weekly Email Update Visit the SRI360° PODCAST Visit the SRI360° WEBSITE Follow SRI360° on X:   Follow SRI360° on FACEBOOK

In 2024, former Oregon state Treasurer Tobias Read unveiled a plan to make the state’s public employees retirement fund investments achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Last September, Gov. Tina Kotek signed into law the Climate Resilience Investment Act which directs the Oregon Treasury to pursue profitable clean energy investment opportunities and reduce fossil fuel holdings in the retirement fund, which is valued at more than $100 billion.    A new report released this week by the Oregon State Treasury details the progress Oregon is making to reduce the climate impact of its investment portfolio. It found, for example, a more than 50% decrease in the climate intensity of its investments between 2022 and 2023. Investments in renewable energy, EV charging, carbon credits and battery materials also doubled to $2.4 billion between January 2022 and June 30, 2025.     Oregon state Treasurer Elizabeth Steiner joins us to share more details and discuss the uncertainties lying ahead as the state tries to balance its pension system obligations with climate-cutting goals despite the Trump administration’s embrace of fossil fuels.

This Giving Tuesday, SunCast brings you three powerful stories of how clean energy is transforming communities, saving lives, and unlocking local climate action.Host Nico Johnson sits down with leaders working across three different fronts of the climate fight:• Robin Swanhuyser — Twende SolarElectrifying community hubs in places like rural Ghana, turning schools and clinics into resilience engines for entire villages.• Will Heegaard — Footprint ProjectDeploying portable solar microgrids after hurricanes and wildfires, from Jamaica to Western North Carolina.• Jack Hanson — Run on ClimateEmpowering local leaders to pass real climate policy—proving the most effective climate action often starts at your city council.These are tangible, hopeful, boots-on-the-ground solutions you can support today.Expect to learn:

Fact: According to a December 2024 report by WRI, 75% of greenhouse gases and 90% of CO2 emissions are linked to extracting and burning fossil fuels. While sustainability measures like emission control and renewables focus on the demand side of the equation, the real high-impact change lies in measures to control the supply side. This week, Matt sits down with Tzeporah Berman, Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative and one of Time magazine's Top 100 Climate Impact leaders. Together, they explore a groundbreaking global movement to phase out fossil fuel production through international cooperation and equitable transition strategies. Berman reveals how 17 countries, 3,000+ organisations, and 101 Nobel laureates have joined the call for a treaty to manage the fair and just wind-down of oil, gas, and coal. She explains why focusing solely on emissions isn't enough, and how supply-side policies could finally turn the tide on climate change. This conversation offers a bold, practical roadmap for ending fossil fuel dependence while empowering nations to embrace renewable energy and energy security.

Europe's tech playbook has evolved — from mastering consumer internet and telecoms to now confronting the most ambitious challenge yet: the green transition. In a compelling Summit address, Natalie Tydeman of Kinnevik framed climate tech not just as a hot trend, but as the defining commercial and industrial transformation of our time.Despite political headwinds and shifting corporate rhetoric in some markets, Europe's climate policy support remains strong. More importantly, we're finally witnessing a turning point: climate tech is no longer about sacrificing economics for sustainability. As Natalie put it, the new breed of green solutions are both commercially viable and environmentally necessary.What's needed from founders and investors alike? Patience, resilience, adaptability, and creativity. The capital profiles of these companies often look very different from classical tech — they're more capital intensive, and success often depends on building coalitions of aligned investors.Natalie emphasized two core themes where Kinnevik is most focused:Green Supply ChainsEnergy TransitionThese areas are where the visibility of future revenue streams is strongest — crucial for unlocking project financing and credit facilities. Joint development agreements, government-backed low-cost financing, and project equity play a far bigger role than in SaaS or consumer models.Europe might lag in some tech metrics, but in climate it's starting to pull ahead:~50% of EU energy is now renewable vs. under 20% in the US84% of consumers express a desire to shop more sustainablyGovernment and blended finance are now key backers of green venturesThis ecosystem makes it possible to build large, climate-positive businesses in Europe without sacrificing scale or returns.Natalie closed by reaffirming Kinnevik's conviction: the green transition isn't just a moral imperative — it's a multi-decade economic opportunity. The fund is staying highly selective, but deeply committed to supporting the few ventures that can deliver climate impact and venture-scale returns in tandem.“We're not looking for the most startups — we're looking for the ones that will matter most.”Investing in Climate Requires Patience — and CreativityFinancial Ecosystems & Policy: Europe Has a TailwindThe Takeaway: Selective but Bold

Get bonus content at wickedproblems.earth Dr. Lorna Gold is the executive director of the Laudato Sì Movement, which was inspired by the late Pope Francis' 2015 letter. That document, considered pretty radical for the leader of the Catholic Church to issue at the time, was credited by former Irish president Mary Robinson and others with influencing the Paris Agreement - and you can hear echoes of it as recently as the advisory opinion issued this summer by the International Court of Justice. On its 10th anniversary, Francis' successor Pope Leo will lead the Raising Hope Conference, 1-3 October in Rome - but also available via livestream - talking about the relevance of its ideas for the situation we're in now. More than a “Catholic” thing, it will feature people as diverse as Brazil's climate minister Marina Silva (in the runup to COP30), climate scientist Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, Bill McKibben, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tuvalu climate minister Dr Maina Talia, Bianca Pitt of SHE Changes Climate, Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty president Kumi Naidoo, and more. Somehow, Lorna was able to take a break from organising the event to speak to us.

Soho House is going private in a $2.7 billion deal led by MCR Hotels and CEO Tyler Morse, while billionaire Ron Burkle will remain its controlling shareholder; the move follows three straight profitable quarters for the global members-only club operator. At the same time, global hotel investment activity has slowed, with JLL reporting a 16% drop in transactions during the first half of the year as large, debt-heavy deals disappear and smaller select-service and extended-stay properties dominate. Separately, NYU researchers found that most people underestimate the climate impact of their actions, especially long-haul flights, suggesting airlines could play a larger role in educating travelers by providing clearer carbon data and highlighting lower-emission options.

How can LLM be used to analyze climate impact and build competitive advantage? The scale and urgency of the transformation required to fight climate change has never been more clear. Building hardware and software products, acquiring the funding and creating a diverse community to enhance talent capacity and to drive innovation, is essential to tackling this global environmental crisis. In this podcast, Silicon Valley Bank (a division of First Citizens Bank) Climate Tech & Sustainability SVP Maggie Wong will be interviewing Upright Founder & CEO Annu Nieminen to discuss utilizing LLM to analyze the climate impact and cost of global products and services and to build competitive advantage, as well as importance of "product first" approach and staying focused on the product vision. 

When it comes to solving the world's biggest challenges—climate change, food insecurity, and public health—where do we even start? According to Sarah Lake, CEO of Tilt Collective, the answer lies in a powerful combination of philanthropy and plant-rich diets. In her conversation with Dr. Frank Sabatino on the Health Science Podcast, Sarah outlined how these two forces can drive systemic change and create a sustainable future. Here's why this matters—and how you can help move the needle. Philanthropy: A Critical Catalyst for Change Can philanthropy really make a difference in climate action? Sarah Lake confirmed this to be true. Philanthropic investments do more than fund projects—they de-risk innovative ideas, paving the way for larger public and private sector funding. “Philanthropy is critical in paving the pathway for greater investment, even when governments are slow to act,” Sarah explained. Examples from renewable energy and electric vehicles show how early philanthropic contributions spark momentum that leads to transformative results. But philanthropy doesn't just support new technologies; it also helps reframe critical conversations. Tilt Collective conducts research to showcase the value of these investments, providing policymakers with clear, actionable data that resonates with their priorities. Whether it's reducing healthcare costs or strengthening food security, philanthropy opens doors to solutions that might otherwise be overlooked. The Power of Plant-Rich Diets: Five Times the Impact Here's a shocking statistic: Shifting to plant-rich diets has five times the climate impact of renewable energy. That's right—your plate has more power than your Prius. “This isn't about making a more sustainable cow—it's about removing the cow from the equation,” Sarah noted. Producing and consuming less meat drastically cuts greenhouse gas emissions, reduces food waste, and frees up land for carbon sequestration. By turning agricultural land into carbon sinks, we can double down on climate benefits. The best part? Change doesn't have to be all-or-nothing. Sarah emphasized that even small reductions in meat consumption—especially among the biggest consumers—can make a huge difference. In the U.S., for example, 50% of red meat is consumed by just 12% of the population. Addressing overconsumption alone could move us significantly closer to climate goals. Breaking Barriers: Making Plant-Based Choices Accessible Why aren't plant-based options more widespread? Sarah pointed to systemic issues like food deserts and economic inequality, particularly in the U.S., where affordable, calorie-dense fast food often wins over healthier, more sustainable choices. “People want the McDonald's Big Mac that fits their $5 budget,” she explained. Meanwhile, in countries like the U.K., government subsidies make plant-based options more affordable, encouraging widespread adoption. Tilt Collective is working to bridge this gap by advocating for policies that make plant-rich options accessible and affordable for everyone. But they can't do it alone—and that's where you come in. Hope on the Horizon: Why Change Is Possible Despite the challenges, Sarah is optimistic. “Money talks and cows walk,” she said, pointing to businesses that are already profiting from plant-based innovations. Companies like JBS, the world's largest meat processor, have entered the plant-based market and are seeing exponential growth in alternative protein products. Capitalism, Sarah believes, will ultimately drive the transition to sustainable food systems. But to accelerate this shift, we need public demand and continued investment in research and innovation. What You Can Do Today Here's how you can make a difference: Support Plant-Rich Choices: Every meal matters. Start by incorporating more plant-based options into your diet. Demand Better Policies: Call on companies and governments to prioritize sustainable food systems. Invest in the Movement: Support organizations like Tilt Collective that are driving systemic change through research, advocacy, and innovation. Join the Movement Tilt Collective hosted the webinar, Five Big Ideas for 2025, to spotlight progress in plant-rich food systems and outline actionable steps for the future.

What we wear defines us in so many ways. But in recent decades we've moved away from long-lasting, quality pieces in favor of disposable fast fashion, with major consequences for our climate and environment. From mechanized farming and pesticides to grow fiber crops, to energy for manufacturing and transportation, fossil fuels are embedded in the clothing industry at every step of the process. Companies large and small are working against this trend, with some setting lofty goals for reducing carbon emissions and water use. But achieving those goals is hard. So what are the solutions? Buy less? Design new fibers and materials? Thrifting and repurposing existing clothing? New business models? How can we make low-impact clothing?

What we wear defines us in so many ways. But in recent decades we've moved away from long-lasting, quality pieces in favor of disposable fast fashion, with major consequences for our climate and environment. From mechanized farming and pesticides to grow fiber crops, to energy for manufacturing and transportation, fossil fuels are embedded in the clothing industry at every step of the process. Companies large and small are working against this trend, with some setting lofty goals for reducing carbon emissions and water use. But achieving those goals is hard. So what are the solutions?

Today, we're bringing you a best-of from our archive of over 250 episodes. We're all aware that the consequences of climate change range from rising sea levels, to drought, wildfires, economic disruption and the displacement of populations. We're seeing and living through many of these effects, but is there hope for managing additional risk? A couple years ago we sat down with environmental scientist Chris Field to ask this question. He shared that it's still possible to pave the way to a sustainable future. Take another listen to this episode to hear more about how he thinks we can do this together.Have a question for Russ?

It's very much a call to action.In today's episode of Superpowers for Good, I had the pleasure of speaking with Nicole Whalen, Founder and CEO of Green Compass, a company dedicated to fighting climate change by retrofitting buildings with green infrastructure. The conversation highlighted the significant yet often overlooked role that buildings play in contributing to climate change. According to Nicole, over 70% of emissions in Washington, D.C., come from buildings, and this trend is common across the globe.Nicole shared how Green Compass utilizes nature-based solutions to retrofit commercial and multifamily buildings. These efforts include installing solar panels, electrification systems, and green stormwater infrastructure, all aimed at reducing emissions and mitigating the effects of climate change. One of her most striking projects involved creating a 2,000-square-foot rain garden that captures almost a million gallons of water per year. "Something as small a footprint as 2,000 square feet can capture almost a million gallons of water a year," she said, emphasizing the scale of impact even small projects can have.What I found particularly compelling was Nicole's vision for decentralizing both energy and water systems, a step she sees as critical for sustainability. “Decentralizing utilities is something that's...indicative for sustainability. We need to have more decentralization of our energy sources [and] decentralized water systems as well,” she explained.Nicole's work demonstrates the immense potential of combining private sector investment with innovative green solutions to solve one of the world's most pressing problems: climate change. Green Compass's Raise Green crowdfunding campaign is now live, offering a unique opportunity for impact-minded investors to support this mission.Stay tuned for more inspiring stories on how business leaders are using their superpowers for good!tl;dr:* Introduction of Green Compass: Nicole Whalen, founder of Green Compass, explains that her company retrofits commercial and multifamily buildings using green infrastructure to combat climate change, employing nature-based solutions like solar systems and EV charging.* Climate Impact of Buildings: Whalen highlights the significant role buildings play in emissions, with over 70% of emissions in Washington D.C. coming from buildings, and emphasizes the need for retrofitting to reduce these emissions.* Stormwater Retention Credits: Green Compass develops projects that utilize stormwater retention credits, a market-driven solution that allows private investment in green infrastructure, benefiting entities like churches and reducing costs while improving environmental outcomes.* Future Expansion: Green Compass, initially focused in D.C., plans to expand across the U.S. as other municipalities adopt similar stormwater management systems, driven by climate change and inadequate existing infrastructure.* Nicole's Superpower: Whalen attributes her success to her scientific mindset, particularly her ability to view the world through ecological relationships, and her passion for using nature to restore the environment, offering an optimistic approach to addressing climate challenges.How to Develop Green Innovation As a SuperpowerNicole's superpower lies in her ability to drive significant environmental change through innovative green solutions. By retrofitting buildings with advanced green infrastructure, she tackles climate change head-on. Nicole's approach integrates nature-based systems like green stormwater infrastructure, solar energy, and electrification to reduce emissions and enhance sustainability in urban environments.An illustrative story from our conversation involved a project where Nicole's team created a 2,000-square-foot rain garden that captures nearly a million gallons of water annually. This project not only manages stormwater effectively but also enhances the local environment by adding trees and reducing urban heat. Nicole's innovative approach allows her to address both water management and carbon sequestration simultaneously.To develop green innovation as a personal strength, Nicole suggests focusing on several key areas:* Invest in Learning: Understand the latest technologies and methods in green infrastructure.* Leverage Investment Opportunities: Utilize innovative financing solutions like stormwater retention credits to support your projects.* Embrace Decentralization: Promote decentralized systems for energy and water management to increase sustainability.By following Nicole's example and advice, you can make green innovation a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileNicole Whalen (she/her):Founder & CEO, Green Compass LLCAbout Green Compass LLC: Based in Washington DC, Green Compass retrofits commercial and multifamily buildings to fight climate change by deploying:

Join us for SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 76, where we delve into the latest groundbreaking discoveries in planetary science and astronomy.First, scientists have uncovered evidence that fresh water existed on Earth about 4 billion years ago, pushing back the timeframe for the potential emergence of life by 500 million years. This discovery, based on zircon crystal analysis from the Jack Hills formation in Western Australia, challenges the long-held belief that Earth was entirely covered by oceans at that time. The study's findings suggest that fresh water and land masses existed much earlier, setting the stage for life to flourish.Next, new research indicates that the rotation of Earth's inner core has slowed down compared to the planet's surface. This discovery, reported in the journal Nature, shows that the inner core began to decelerate around 2010, moving slower than the Earth's mantle and crust for the first time in decades. The implications of this change are still being explored, but it may ultimately affect the length of the day.Finally, a new study suggests that Earth's encounter with dense interstellar clouds 2 million years ago may have significantly altered the planet's climate. The research, published in Nature Astronomy, posits that these clouds could have compressed the heliosphere, exposing Earth to increased levels of cosmic rays and altering its climatic conditions.Follow our cosmic conversations on X @stuartgary, Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook.
