Send me a messageIn this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Shravan Kumar, Director of Client Success at Gramener, about the transformative role AI and geospatial data can play in tackling climate challenges. Shravan shared insights into how AI is being utilised to address urban heat islands, predict and mitigate the impacts of natural disasters like floods, and support cities in becoming more climate-resilient.We delved into real-world examples where Gramener's AI solutions have been successfully implemented in cities, helping local governments optimise resources, create thermally comfortable public spaces, and even adjust energy trading systems. Shravan also discussed the importance of partnerships and the challenges in scaling these solutions globally, particularly in regions with limited resources.One of the key takeaways from our conversation was the need for accurate, micro-level data to make informed decisions on climate action, as well as the critical role of education and trust in driving adoption of these AI tools.

Vinasses, which are most likely the most offensive of the byproducts when making mezcal or tequila, can be neutralized in a number of ways. Scientists are always trying to offer more efficient and cost effective options, one of which was brought to our attention by our brilliant medical correspondent, Ryan Aycock (aka Cocktail MD). The technical specifics of how Titanium Dioxide nanoparticles is not really the main focus of this episode, but we decided to delve into what would happen if this approach were to be adopted by the industry at large. What would all that Titanium Dioxide could possibly mean to the health of those applying it to the vinasses or those in the vicinity of the distilleries?  It all may sound very sci-fi and complicated, but this conversation tries to show that every decision has repercussions that may not be incredibly evident right away and that fighting one type of pollution may create other challenges. Finally, this is the full citation of the article mentioned in the episode:Alicia Rodriguez Arreola, Marciano Sanchez Tizapa, Florentina Zurita, Juan Pablo Morán-Lázaro, Rocío Castañeda Valderrama, José Luis Rodríguez-López & Alejandra Carreon-Alvarez (2018) Treatment of tequila vinasse and elimination of phenol by coagulation–flocculation process coupled with heterogeneous photocatalysis using titanium dioxide nanoparticles, Environmental Technology.

In this podcast episode, Alistair Longman from Ranmarine Technology joins hosts Marco Ciappelli and Sean Martin to discuss their innovative solution for cleaning waterways using robots called "WasteSharks." Inspired by whale sharks, these devices can be either autonomous or remote-controlled and are designed to collect floating trash in coastal areas, lakes, and rivers before it enters the ocean.Alistair Longman acknowledges the challenges of raising awareness and funding for cleanup services, as they are often seen as a "grudge purchase." However, he remains optimistic about the potential of these technologies to scale and make a significant environmental impact. He also emphasizes that the WasteSharks are designed to be unobtrusive and able to reach difficult areas that larger cleaning boats cannot access.During the conversation, Sean Martin asks about the role of data collection and analysis in addressing the waste problem. Alistair notes that as the number of WasteSharks increases, the ability to collect data on trash accumulation, type, and location will become more valuable. This information will help inform more efficient and targeted waste collection strategies. Additionally, the team at Ranmarine Technology is working on developing AI for image recognition of trash, although it is still challenging.Marco Ciappelli wonders about the replicability of the WasteShark technology and its potential applications in other areas, such as oil spills or city trash management. Alistair explains that they are working on scaling the solution and developing docking stations and larger format vessels to tackle a broader scope of waste problems.Looking to the future, Alistair envisions a time when multiple WasteSharks will be able to communicate with each other in real-time to optimize their operations, making our waterways cleaner and healthier.Take advantage of this fascinating dive into the world of WasteSharks and their quest to keep our waterways pristine and free from trash and debris.Don't waste any more time—tune in to this episode and let the wave of innovation sweep you away!Note: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Alistair Longman, CTO and Chief Product Officer, Ranmarine Technology [@RanMarineTech]On Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/in/alistair-longman-37a7b41/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/alistairlongmanOn Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/alongman/ResourcesLearn more about Ranmarine and their WasteShark offering: https://itspm.ag/ranmarine-technology-xb52Lear how autonomous vessels can be use for monitoring and clearing waterways: https://itspm.ag/ranmarredrRanmarine On Linkedin | https://www.linkedin.com/company/ranmarine/Ranmarine On Twitter | https://twitter.com/RanMarineTechRanmarine On Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/RanMarineTechnologyAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story____________________________To see and hear more Redefining Society stories on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/redefining-society-podcastWatch the video version on-demand on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYu0psdcllR-1tkRvr1pr_3bRruZZgfZ

Henrik Nordborg is a physics professor at the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences, and program director for the university’s Renewable Energy and Environmental Technology. He began giving public lectures about the climate crisis some years ago when he felt his students deserved more honest information about the state of the world and the looming crisis. This led to him developing the Global Climate Compensation, a plan to tax fossil fuel companies and redistribute those funds to every nation around the world.Henrik’s plan differs from other carbon tax proposals—he wants to tax fossil fuel companies at production, not from calculations of their emissions. He says this not only prevents companies’ capacity to skew the data, but actually involves no additional accounting—these companies know exactly how much they’re producing because that’s where their profits come from.The redistribution factor is equally key. This fund would be redistributed around the world, per capita, and governments could then choose what to do with that money. It could provide a buffer for developing nations to begin their own energy transition. This is crucial in a world where Western nations are avoiding paying climate reparations—Loss and Damages payments—which Global South nations have tried to bring to the table at Cop conferences.

What's it like to be Head of Sustainability at a huge company like Nestlé UK and Ireland? To mark Earth Day 2022, we've been speaking to the woman who holds that role, Dr Emma Keller. Emma started out doing a biology degree at Imperial College London but, by her own admission, "was useless in a laboratory". She says that's when she realised she was "much more interested in the bigger picture, the systems-change piece". After doing a Masters in Environmental Technology, she went on to get a PhD in Environmental Strategy and Sustainable Systems at the University of Surrey. So, is studying an environmental subject the key to landing a job like Head of Sustainability at a multinational conglomerate such as Nestlé? Not so, says Emma: "We need a whole wealth of different talents and skills. There are lots of ways to get into this space." Listen to the full episode to find out how Emma rose to the top of her profession - including successful stints at Unilever and the WWF - what she loves most about her role, and how she once got to work alongside Sir David Attenborough. We also reveal where you can go to learn and what you can expect to earn if you would like to follow in Dr Emma Keller's footsteps. Dr Emma Keller, Head of Sustainability, Nestlé UK & Ireland Emma is Head of Sustainability for Nestlé UK&I, focussing on delivering the ambitious net-zero climate commitment and driving the business to be a force for good.  Prior to joining Nestlé, Emma led a team at WWF on food system transformation and before that was in Unilever's sustainability team working on bringing the Unilever Sustainable Living Plan to life.  She also holds a doctorate in supply chain sustainability.

Episode 12: Show Notes.Our guest today is Dave Holman of Katahdin Property Management. Before getting into real estate, Dave took up architecture classes in college, lived a few years in Bolivia, and set up a chain of camping stores named The Spitting Llama. In 2009, he returned to Maine, got his MBA and met Brian Sprague. Together, they formed Katahdin Property Management.Now, they have six employees and manage over 130 units. Dave has now been a GP on five syndication projects. He focuses on value add and historic renovation style buildings, but he is currently working on his first construction project in Maine. In this episode, Dave will speak on green and sustainable property management and how it can drive huge profits for your investment. Key Points from This Episode:Dave's background before putting up a property management business.Dave's beginnings in real estate investing.Dave's MBA skills have helped him greatly in what he's doing now.The principles of green design and building in real estate projects and how it increases income.The correlation between ESG and operating expenses.The critical role of property management in the success of your investment.Property management is a primary risk control method.How to find the right property manager.Dave gives a shout-out to the person that has helped him achieve success. Tweetables:"About 40% of global emissions are real estate based, either from the operation of real estate or the construction of real estate. So, we are the problem and we need to be the solution." [06:16]"But ultimately, you know, operating costs are not a sexy part of the business, but they're critical. It blends perfectly with ESG because we're all just looking at efficiency and efficiency is what is going to drive profits. " [00:09:55]"And I think working them (solar and wind technologies) into buildings is great whenever you can because you're going to control your costs. And that will make for, you know, more profit down the road, but you're also doing the right thing, environmentally."

Most of us know that reducing the carbon footprint of our diet means eating less meat and processed food, and eating more fruit and veg, locally grown and organic produce. But these simple guidelines hide difficult questions: Should we be vegan, veggie or choosetarian? Do we prioritise fair trade or locally grown? Can we keep our shopping affordable? Is organic really better? Can we still eat chocolate? And above all, can we still love our food without endlessly fretting about it? This panel will ask what recipe is right for a low carbon diet.

I had the best time speaking to one of my closest friends, Talia, for this episode. We have been friends for over a decade and both possess a passion for health and wellness, which Talia developed in her mid teens whilst discovering the benefits of yoga and meditation. Throughout this episode we address our daily and weekly practices that make us feel our best. We talk about the holistic benefits of movement, finding a balance between restorative and high intensity, attaining space mentally and physically and feeling a sense enjoyment rather than punishment whilst exercising. We also highlight the emotional and spiritual benefits we feel when training in the natural world. We continue to speak about taking daily mindful moments in the form of activities such as; digital detox, meditation, painting and journaling, in order to seek presence in our day. Our conversation concludes as I speak to Talia about the love we both have for exploring nutrition and cooking, what inspired Talia to transition to vegetarianism, and how this aligns with her masters degree in Environmental Technology at Imperial College. We really hope that you enjoy this episode!

What are some of the limitations of the current disclosure frameworks for use by risk managers, and how can we tell when companies are saying one thing but doing another?  In recent months we have seen climate risk disclosure frameworks, such as the one set out by the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), increasing in popularity. And whilst these developments are to be welcomed, current recommendations fall short of capturing a complete picture of a firm’s activities. From a risk management perspective, that can be problematic. The omission of certain reporting categories, such as an organisation’s voting record or lobbying activities, opens up the potential for firms to greenwash, introducing additional risks and undermining efforts to reach net zero. That is why in today’s episode we are in conversation with Dylan Tanner, Co-founder and Executive Director of Influence Map, a UK based non-profit working to shine a light on corporate lobbying activities and voting records. Find out how the work at Influence Map is helping to drive climate action by increasing transparency and accountability across firms in the financial sector and real economy.

Founding director of social enterprise Do Nation, young British female entrepreneur Hermione Taylor talks to ASOS editor at large Danielle Radojcin about how her online platform is inspiring people and companies to make pledges to change their behaviour or start campaigns for the good of the environment. The seeds of the Do Nation concept were first planted back in 2009 when, after getting an MA in Environmental Technology, Hermione decided to cycle from London to Morocco as a personal challenge. Instead of looking to raise money, she asked people to donate simple, sustainable actions to sponsor her trip – such as cycling to work or eating less meat. These donations saved the equivalent of an impressive 84 flights’ worth of CO2 emissions, which inspired her to eventually set up Do Nation. Since then, over 10,000 people have made nearly 19,500 pledges on Do Nation supporting other people’s challenges, and Hermione herself has even given a TED talk on why small actions can help to tackle climate change...
