Fred Krupp, president of the non-profit Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), describes EDF's work to address climate change through scientific, economic, and legal analyses, working with governments and companies, and public and legal advocacy for stronger climate and other environmental practices and policies. Fred joined us to talk about MethaneSAT, EDF's new satellite that was recently launched to monitor emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from oil and gas operations. Fred describes why EDF entered the satellite business, how its satellite differs from others already in orbit, the many partners EDF enlisted to design and deploy the satellite, how AI is deployed in the process, and what new opportunities this satellite will provide for EDF and the rest of us.

Fred Krupp has guided the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) for three decades. A leading voice on climate change, energy, and sustainability, he is a champion for harnessing the power of the marketplace to protect our environment. Under Krupp's leadership, EDF has become one of the world's most influential environmental organizations. He has focused international attention on the problem of methane emissions from the oil-and-gas system and led EDF's innovative corporate partnerships with FedEx, KKR, McDonald's, Walmart and others. Since he took the helm in 1984, EDF's annual operating budget has grown from $3 million to over $225 million, staff has increased from 50 to more than 1,000 in 19 countries, and membership has expanded from 40,000 to over 3 million. Krupp was named one of America's Best Leaders by the U.S. News and World Report and is a recipient of the 2015 William K. Reilly Environmental Leadership Award. Before EDF, Krupp helped found the Connecticut Fund for the Environment (now called Save the Sound), an advocacy group for environmental protection — the first organization of its kind in the state. Krupp's ability to create coalitions has been recognized widely. He served on President George H.W. Bush's Commission on Environmental Quality and President Bill Clinton's Council on Sustainable Development.  He has been influential in developing several market-based solutions, including the acid rain reduction plan in the 1990 Clean Air Act.] He has been described as the environmentalist who "has been the most successful in persuading the corporate world—and those who support its interests—to embrace the green cause". Examples including convincing McDonald's to forgo styrofoam for paper, Wal-Mart to stock energy-efficient light bulbs, and Duke Energy to invest in wind power.

The Lincoln Project's own Rick Wilson mocks Gov. Ron Desantis' astoundingly bad performance against Gov. Gavin Newsome. The Daily Beast's Kelly Weill, explains why the Seth Rich and Pizzagate conspiracy theories have resurfaced again. Environmental Defense Fund's Fred Krupp details the big news from this weekend, an agreement that will help hold gas companies accountable for methane leaks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At COP28 on Saturday, 50 oil and gas companies -- including industry giants ExxonMobil, Shell and BP -- pledged to reduce methane emissions to "near zero" by 2030. At the same time, the Biden administration announced new rules to enforce major elements of the agreement in the U.S. Fred Krupp, president of the Environmental Defense Fund, joins John Yang to discuss the importance of this deal.

In this week's episode of Influencers, Andy sits down with EDF President Fred Krupp to discuss the biggest misconceptions about climate change, why business leaders should be focused on the environment, and how Elon Musk "caused a revolution in the auto industry".

This year's Nobel prize for economics has been shared by three recipients. David Card, Joshua Angrist and Guido Imbens were awarded the prize for their use of "natural experiments" to understand how economic policy and other events connect. Professor Card, of UC Berkeley, tells us about his work on the minimum wage. Also in the programme, with energy prices rising across the US and Europe, we ask David Shepherd, energy editor at the Financial Times to explain what's been happening. And the President of the Environmental Defense Fund, Fred Krupp talks us through methane emission cuts and the difference they can make to climate change . We're joined throughout the programme by Karen Lema, Reuters Bureau Chief for the Philippines and Andy Uhler, Marketplace reporter in Austin Texas. (Picture: The Nobel economics prize is announced.

With the Biden U.S. Climate Summit barely in the rearview mirror, our hosts Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac, and Paul Dickinson unpack what this moment means for global leadership, ambition, and the gaps in the road ahead for the climate movement. The new U.S. NDC of 50% GHG reductions by 2030 sets the stage for the rest of the decade, so what is next?   And our interview this week is with Fred Krupp, long-serving President of the Environmental Defence Fund (EDF). We discuss one of the most pressing and, until now, overlooked issues of methane leakage and emissions, and their wildly powerful short-term warming potential. EDF is launching a satellite soon that will track methane emissions around the world to keep us all accountable. Amazing.   We also celebrate the announcement at the Biden summit of the launch of the LEAF Coalition, a project that the EDF is partnering in with both private sector and government participation, and the impact this private and public partnership will have on tackling the stubborn challenge of tropical deforestation on a meaningful scale.   And be sure to hang around for a live performance from ViVii of their song ‘One Day’!   —   Christiana + Tom’s book ‘The Future We Choose’ is available now!   Subscribe to our Climate Action Newsletter: Signals Amidst The Noise   __   Thank you to our guest this week, Fred Krupp!   Fred Krupp President of Environmental Defense Fund Twitter | LinkedIn   Environmental Defense Fund Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn    __   Our musical guest this week is ViVii!

Regenerative farming takes a clear approach to agriculture, in that it’s not just about sustaining the land in its current state, it’s about bringing it back to its original, vibrant state. This creates greater biodiversity, more nutrients, stronger soils, and healthier food. Regenerative farming encompasses numerous practices that benefit the soil in which crops are being farmed. It is about being minimally invasive and supporting natural symbiotic relationships, so that bacteria in the soil, grazing cattle, and everything in between, are working together. In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Miriam Horn as she shares the story of a midwest soil farmer who is using regenerative practices to restore his land back to its original Prairie state.Miriam Horn works at the Environmental Defense Fund and is a New York Times best-selling author. Her books include, Rebels in White Gloves, Coming of Age with Hillary's Class, Wellesley '69, Earth: The Sequel, The Race to Reinvent Energy Stop Global Warming, which was co-authored with the Environmental Defense Fund president Fred Krupp, and Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman: Conservation Heroes of the American Heartland.Tune into Dr. Hyman’s full-length conversation with Miriam Horn: https://DrMarkHyman.lnk.to/MiriamHorn See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The loudest voices these days seem to come from protesters because they design their actions for attention. They aren't necessarily the most effective.Many of us are outraged. Our emotions become intense. Emotional intensity drives us to do what we want most, which doesn't necessarily lead to what's effective. As I see it, people are venting more than leading.I criticize the lack of leadership around the environment because people overwhelmingly spread facts, figures, doom, gloom, and telling people what to do. In no area besides the environment do effective leaders say, "Here's how to lead: spread facts, figures, doom, gloom, and tell people what to do."Effective leadership works when based on the views and motivations of the person you're leading. For many that's uncomfortable. But it works.Fred and EDF's sober, thoughtful approach of working with big business is accessing the biggest potential change and leading them.I wrote a friend on a group geared toward confrontation:They seemed heavy on demands. I hope that style works for them. It felt domineering to me. I consider protest important. At the same time, I consider it important to offer help to people and organizations we'd like to change but that don't know how to on their own, which is my strategy. One of my definitions of leadership is to help people do what they want to but don't know how.Fred and Environmental Defense Fund's strategy isn't designed for maximum attention, but for maximum effect in one area---in particular, those with large potential for change, even those not appearing environmental. This strategy is close to mine.Without organizations like EDF helping, companies that could change might instead protect themselves by hiding potential problems. I've been trying to meet Exxon, for example, but the "Exxon Knew" campaign motivates them to protect themselves and hide information. That campaign may be for the best, I don't know, but I see the need to offer a hand too, to help them come up with strategies they couldn't have.EDF does more that just work with corporations. For example, they're launching a satellite to detect emissions. Having helped launch a satellite as part of my PhD, I love the audacity and effectiveness.In my conversation with Fred, I focused on the leadership part, but we cover more, including his personal background and EDF's.After you listen, I recommend applying to EDF's internship he described. Organize, vote, and lead politicians, corporate executives, and others with authority to act environmentally.By the way, I met Fred Krupp, the head of the Environmental Defense Fund, through past guest, Bob Langert, McDonald's former head of corporate social responsibility.The Making of a Market-Minded Environmentalist, in Strategy+Business See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

When we talk about greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide gets the most attention -- but methane, which often escapes unseen from pipes and wells, has a far greater immediate impact on global warming. Environmentalist Fred Krupp has an idea to fix the problem: launch a satellite that tracks global methane emissions, and openly share the data it collects with the public. Learn more about how simple fixes to cut down on this invisible pollutant can help us put the brakes on climate change. (This ambitious plan is one of the first ideas of The Audacious Project, TED's new initiative to inspire global change.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Quand on parle des gaz à effet de serre, le dioxyde de carbone est toujours le centre d'attention -- mais le méthane, qui s'échappe, souvent sans être vu, des puits et des canalisations, a un impact immédiat bien plus grand sur le réchauffement climatique. L’environnementaliste Fred Krupp a une idée pour résoudre ce problème : lancer un satellite qui surveillera les émissions globales de méthane et partagera publiquement les données collectées. Apprenez-en plus sur comment les solutions simples à mettre en place afin de réduire ce polluant invisible peuvent nous aider à freiner le changement climatique. (Son projet ambitieux est l'une des premières idées de l'Audacious Project, la nouvelle initiative de TED pour susciter des changements à l'échelle mondiale.)

Quando se fala de gases naturais, o dióxido de carbono é o que possui a maior atenção. Entretanto, o metano é responsável por um quarto do aquecimento global que estamos observando hoje. As indústrias de óleo e gás são as principais fontes de emissão de metano e, quando esse gás invisível escapa de seus tanques e tubulações, eles perdem lucros. Fred Krupp, membro do Fundo de Defesa ao Meio Ambiente tem uma ideia: rastrear emissões de metano pelo mundo com incrível precisão usando um satélite chamado MethaneSAT e entregar aos governos, corporações e ao público os dados para que possam agir. Este plano ambicioso é uma das primeiras ideias do "The Audicious Project", a nova iniciativa do TED para inspirar mudanças a nível global.

온실가스에 대해 이야기 할 때, 우리는 이산화탄소를 가장 주목합니다. 그러나 메탄가스가 지구 온난화에 훨씬 더 강력하고 직접적인 영향을 줍니다. 메탄은 눈에 보이지 않지만 파이프와 저장소에서 새어 나옵니다. 환경운동가인 프레드 크루프는 이 문제를 해결할 아이디어를 가지고 있습니다. 인공위성을 발사하여 지구의 메탄 배출량을 측정하고 데이터를 공개적으로 공유하는 것입니다. 이 간단한 해결책이 보이지 않는 메탄오염을 줄이고 기후 변화에 제동을 거는 것에 어떤 도움을 주는 지 알아봅시다. (이 야심찬 계획은 지구의 변화를 가져오는 TED의 새로운 계획인 '대담한 프로젝트' 의 초기 아이디어 중 하나입니다.)

The shale revolution carries real environmental dangers, especially the release of methane, a highly potent greenhouse gas. It still has the potential to benefit the environment as well as the economy, but only if industry and government work together to deal with the problems. To parse the potential risks and rewards, Gideon Rose, editor of Foreign Affairs, sat down with Fred Krupp, president of the Environmental Defense Fund.For more on fracking and the environment, read Krupp's piece for the magazine.Original video interview published on April 21, 2014

Domestic shale gas has transformed the US energy equation, but its development can have unacceptable impacts on air and water quality, while methane emissions from oil and gas development can undo the climate benefit of burning natural gas instead of other fossil fuels. Colorado has led the way with the nation's strongest air pollution standards for oil and gas development, including the first direct regulation of methane. Governor John Hickenlooper and Environmental Defense Fund President Fred Krupp, who worked closely on the breakthrough rules in Colorado, lead a discussion of the way forward for shale gas.

An energy “renaissance” is happening in the U.S. and Rhonda Zygocki, Executive VP of Policy and Planning at Chevron, says it is “driven by innovation” and the natural gas and oil reserves trapped in slate. This renaissance is not without its issues and Fred Krupp, President of the Environmental Defense Fund, warns that “while the economic benefits [of fracking] are obvious, the environmental implications of not doing this right in some cases are equally obvious.” Krupp warns that the fragmented nature of the industry makes it resistant to change and regulation. Zygocki walks us through some of the innovations and changes Chevron is introducing for safer and more efficient energy production. To find a way to reduce emissions in the future “we need to look at solutions at scale,” says Zygocki who questions the ability of renewables such as solar to scale up in time. Krupp sees California as the future of renewable technology and says that there’s “nothing like a profit motive” to boost innovation. A conversation between Chevron and EDF on the issues surrounding the hydraulic fracturing industry and powering America’s economy.

Fred Krupp, President of Environmental Defese Fund Fred Krupp discusses his new book Earth: The Sequel - The Race to Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming. The Environmental Defense Fund helped reduce acid rain in the 1990s by using market forces, and last year it played a role in the buyout of Texas utility TXU that reduced the number of planned coal-fired power plants. The advocacy group's president, Fred Krupp, believes business-friendly approaches such as carbon cap-and-trade systems are the best way to fight global warning. His new book, Earth: The Sequel, highlights the entrepreneurs, scientists, and even a former bus driver on the Trans-Alaska pipeline, who are betting on the free market to create new wealth and build a post-carbon economy.
