KKR is a Private Equity giant whose involvement in the Energy/Infrastructure sector has grown bigger over the decades. Energy/Infrastructure investments now represents approx 10% of their global Asset under Management of c.700bnUSD.KKR's approach combines several strategies which are developed in different vehicles from run of the mill yield funds to more risky platforms. Since the beginning of the decade, KKR has invested billions in the acquisitions of assets in the sector (Zenobe, Avantus, Albioma, Contour Global, Actis, Ignis, SMS, Acciona, Encavis, EGC, Eni biofuels) plus a special agreement to develop AI with ECP.Laurent and Gerard have the pleasure and privilege to invite Emmanuel Lagarrigue, Partner and co-head of Global Climate at KKR, who co-runs this global effort. Prior joining KKR in 2022, Emmanuel had a 27 years stellar career at Schneider Electric where he ended up leading the Group Strategy. Under his tenure, Schneider Electric's shares grew tenfold.What is KKR's strategy, how can it provide returns in this volatile environment, how to foster synergies inside its portfolio, where are the next big trends they are looking at? Emmanuel also discusses how private markets and public markets differ when it comes to asset valuations, how to deal with volatility, how much energy growth will be triggered by datacenters and finally what he thinks about Hydrogen and ”Green Premiums”.A ”tour de force” from one of the most prominent Energy investor on the planet.

Friday April 11 was the Global Climate Strike called by Fridays For Future, the group started by Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg. More than 50 people, mainly students, demonstrated at the State Capitol in Albany. We hear music by Terri Roben; Ryan, the local FFF organizer; Mark Dunlea of PAUSE/350 Albany and GELF (Green Education and Legal Fund); Kelsey from UAlbany; Vena; Matt Oill from XR and Socialist Alternative; and Hannah and RPI Sunrise. With President Trump having declared war on the transition to clean, renewable energy, it is critical that state lawmakers and Governor Hochul reverse course and include major climate measures in the state budget, starting with NY Heat, GAP, and the Renewable Capitol Act. Many spoke about the need to oppose capitalism and colonialism.

At 120-feet long, and holding 36,000 gallons of water, the Scripps Ocean-Atmosphere Research Simulator (SOARS) is a unique facility at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. SOARS is much more than a wave generator, it allows scientists to replicate ocean conditions, including wind, waves, water chemistry, temperature, and light, in a controlled environment. By simulating ocean environments in a controlled laboratory setting, researchers are able to study ocean-atmosphere interactions, climate change, and more. Scripps Institution of Oceanography Lead Engineer Douglas Alden and Researcher Grant Deane give an inside look on how scientists are able to study how human activities are changing the ocean and atmosphere, and how these changes impact global climate and other areas like human health and marine life protection.

Der Bericht "State of the Global Climate" zeigt: 2024 lag die globale Durchschnittstemperatur zum ersten Mal um mehr als 1,5 Grad über den vorindustriellen Levels (Autorin: Kathrin Hondl)

The US has withdrawn from the International Climate Finance Plan, effectively cutting off funding for Just Energy Transition Plans in South Africa, Indonesia, and Vietnam. This move has sparked concerns about the impact on global climate efforts and the future of these partnerships. To discuss the implications, Elvis Presslin spoke to Lisa Makaula, Advocacy Programme Head at Green Connection

In today's episode, we are delving into the otherside of corporate greenwashing, moving away from how governments regulate corporations against greenwashing and towards how corporations also sometimes use legal tools against activists, journalists, and organisations fighting for environmental justice. These lawsuits are called SLAPPs, which stand for Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation. But it is also quite an apt term that perfectly captures the impact of these lawsuits. SLAPPs are increasingly used by corporations and other powerful actors to intimidate and silence opposition and critics, raising some serious concerns about free speech, public interest advocacy, and corporate accountability.

President Trump has struck the Biden administration's climate and energy policy like a hurricane – from increasing energy exploration and extraction, to letting 1,000 employees at the Environmental Protection Agency know they could be fired at any time, to taking all mentions of climate change from the website of the Department of Agriculture, and more. But what will be the Trump Effect on the global climate agenda? Will the dedication to reorder the economies and societies of the world to “save the planet” being to crumble? And if so, which country will give up first?President Trump has struck the Biden administration's climate and energy policy like a hurricane—ranging from increasing energy exploration and extraction to informing 1,000 Environmental Protection Agency employees that they could be fired at any time, to removing all mentions of climate change from the Department of Agriculture's website, and more.

In this episode, IIED's head of global climate governance, Subhi Barakat, and IIED's senior press and PR manager, Simon Cullen, discuss what Donald Trump's recent return to the White House means for international climate action.

Marilyn Waite leads the Climate Finance Fund. She has worked across four continents in renewable and nuclear energy, climate modeling, and investment. Author of Sustainability at Work: Careers That Make a Difference, Marilyn's writing has been featured in the Financial Times, the Boston Globe, and Trellis (formerly GreenBiz), where she served as editor at large. Marilyn holds a Master's Degree with distinction in Engineering for Sustainable Development from the University of Cambridge, and a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering, magna cum laude, from Princeton University. She serves on multiple boards and investment committees, including Climate First Bank. In this episode, we discuss: ●     The role of established companies and start-ups in battling climate change ●     What being intentional about “where your money sleeps” means ●     What a JEDI lens—justice, equity, diversity, inclusion—means when investing in climate solutions Key Takeaways: ●     Maslow's Hierarchy and Climate Impact: Imagine mapping global spending against Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Right now, we can afford to focus higher up on the pyramid—on esteem and self-actualization—but climate change could drastically shift that. Depending on how climate scenarios unfold, global spending may be forced back to the basics: food, water, shelter, and safety. This raises an essential question: how do we prepare to protect those foundational needs while enabling humanity to thrive at every level of the hierarchy and ensure we do so equitably? ●     Interconnected Ecosystems for Climate Solutions: Human survival is deeply intertwined with the natural ecosystems around us. We can't thrive in isolation from the world we depend on. Solving climate change requires more than a single silver-bullet solution; it demands an ecosystem of tools and approaches—just like the ecosystems we're working to protect. There's a beautiful symmetry in this: to preserve the balance of nature, we must harness the collective power of diverse, interconnected solutions. ●     The Role of Startups in Transforming Big Business: While large, established companies can spark change, the reality is that creating rapid, sweeping transformations within massive global organizations is incredibly challenging. This is where startups step in, bringing fresh ideas, agile solutions, and new ways of operating. Large companies can play a critical role by supporting these startups—scaling their innovations or integrating new processes. Together, they create a powerful dynamic where nimble startups help established giants move the needle on sustainability and vice versa.

“We need to get back to classic marketing – what matters to our audience is a must. Even those people who don't ‘buy into' sustainability – up to 70% of them are actually engaged in sustainable behaviours – they just don't label it as sustainable….” In this episode were joined by Denise Hicks, Global Climate Lead at strategy and insights consultancy, C-Space. We were particularly interested in a very soon to be published piece of research titled, ‘The S Word'. Denise shares insights from the research findings, highlighting the ‘dysfunctional love triangle' that exists between brands, their stakeholders and regulations and the tensions and frictions which are causing trust issues. We explore some of the key highlights from the research (due out January 2025), Denise reveals, “consumers are frustrated, the problem is stuff – there is too much stuff and brands / manufacturers need to start taking responsibility”. She also talks about, “the increasing amount of skepticism at all level at the ways the S word is used for commercial gain”. Denise shares some brilliant examples of brands who are showing up in this space and engaging with their customers however, whilst they have sustainability high up on their agendas, they aren't leading with it – rather they are leading with good old fashion marketing tactics around what benefits their customers. The fact they are also sustainability focused is an added benefit. Denise explains, “the need to get back to classic marketing – what matters to our audience is a must. Even those people who don't ‘buy into' sustainability – up to 70% of them are actually engaged in sustainable behaviours – they just don't label it as sustainable.” Sustainability paralysis is very real, the need for strong listening, insights and learning about what truly matters to audiences has never been greater. This episode is a MUST LISTEN TO for all Marketers….packed with plenty of food for thought! Tune in and listen as we talk to Denise about: The importance of research. Sustainability paralysis and why it is very real. Why it is so important to understand the views of everybody and where they are at. The need to drive mutual benefit and work together collectively. How regulation plays an important part - but we can't just wait for it, all stakeholders need to keep moving forwards. Why brands / Marketers need to be asking - is sustainability a big part of our identity as a brand? The need to meet your audiences where they are at and focus on what matter to them – elements which aren't necessarily sustainability related. What it means to behave more responsibly and asking what's the role of responsible products and services in achieving a ‘better life'. This really is a fantastic episode to wrap up all our 2024 conversations. Tune in, enjoy it, share it - and of course, share your comments. Find out more information about C-Space and the work they do. Connect with Denise Hicks - and you can register to receive The S Word research once published.

In November, a Dutch court ruled in Shell's favor on an appeal in a big international climate case. It got loads of headlines around the world, but it wasn't quite the win for Shell that a lot of media coverage has made it out to be. Although it walked back some things, the court reaffirmed a key component of the original ruling: that Shell is legally required to reduce its global emissions. Learn more about your ad choices.

The direction of global action on climate change is at a juncture. Donald Trump's impending return to the White House and his promise to rip-up the Biden administration's climate-focused Inflation Reduction Act is prompting a reassessment of the landscape.In Azerbaijan, the UN's climate change talks are in their final days trying to reach agreement on financing to help developing countries take climate action... the ambition of some countries tempered by the antipathy of others. While here in Australia, work is underway on what our 2035 targets might look like; where and when that lands is not yet clear.Melissa Clarke, filling in for David Speers, speaks to Matt Kean, Chair of the Climate Change Authority and the former NSW state Liberal Treasurer, to give us a rundown of the feeling on the ground at COP29. 

This week we turn our attention to the other side of the globe as we welcome Texas Impact's Climate Action Fellow, Rev. Dr. Becca Edwards to the program. Becca recently returned from the 29th UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP), the global climate negotiations held this year in Baku, Azerbaijan. She will talk to us about the priorities being discussed on the world climate stage and what people of faith in our own communities can do. We will also discuss concerns over the federal climate response over the next few years. But, climate is like many other issues, where we can make substantive progress, even when positive federal policy outcomes seem less likely. We have steps we can take at the state level, local level, and in our own congregations and communities. Keep an eye on our website at texasimpact.org for content from COP29 Baku and ways you can get involved, or to join our Climate Action Team to connect with advocates from throughout the state who care about these issues. 

UNDP's Financial Centres for Sustainability (FC4S) launched its 1.5° Partnership for Action on Climate Transition (PACT) programme during Finance Day at COP29 today to mobilize financial institutions in supporting Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) aligned with the 1.5°C target. In response to the growing urgency of the climate crisis, UNDP's FC4S will work towards driving climate action by mobilizing financial institutions to actively support the development and implementation of NDCs aligned with the 1.5°C target. PACT will work through local financial centres, including FC4S members, by leveraging existing relationships and data to facilitate dialogue between financial institutions and governments. By aligning the strategies of financial institutions with NDC targets, FC4S PACT will reinforce sustainable investment pathways and strengthen national climate action plans. Marcos Neto, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Director of UNDP's Bureau of Policy and Programme Support stated, "With the launch of FC4S 1.5° PACT, we're empowering financial centres to turn ambitious climate commitments into measurable progress. This programme will provide financial institutions with advanced tools and collaborative frameworks essential for impactful and transparent transition finance strategies aligned with national and global climate goals." Core Elements of FC4S PACT: Transition Finance Review: Providing a comprehensive assessment of the current state of transition finance at the financial centre level. NDC Target Analysis: Assessing the alignment of private sector commitments with NDC targets, identifying gaps, and providing actionable insights for policy reforms. Financial Centre Transition Finance Plans: Developing a Milestone-Based Roadmap and Finance Tracker/Dashboard to support financial centres in achieving NDC targets and facilitating climate transition. Forum for Action on Climate Transition (FACT): A platform to share best practices, linked with international policy cooperation forums such as the G20, G7, APEC, ASEAN, UNDP SIF, and the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action. Oscar Njuguna, Group's Director, Sustainability at The Equity Bank and FC4S Co-chair, stated, "We are excited to launch FC4S 1.5° PACT, bringing together the frameworks, data, and partnerships needed to empower institutions with credible transition strategies aligned with the NDCs. FC4S is committed to driving not just progress but also purpose, through equipping the financial sector with the tools to create solutions that integrate climate resilience into sustainable economic growth." FC4S 1.5° PACT is further strengthened by the support of key partners, including KPMG. Mike Hayes, Global Climate and Decarbonization Leader, KPMG added, "This initiative has our full support as it will help to address one of the critical issues on the climate agenda which is to create alignment between national level corporate transition plans and country NDCs. This is about creating a new dynamic using financial centres which will increase both corporate and country level ambition and action."

‘COP' stands for ‘Conference of the Parties,' a global gathering where countries negotiate and make decisions under UN conventions on climate change, biodiversity, and desertification. More than a conference, COP includes structured scientific, technological, and policy-driven discussions, involving ministers and experts from each country. This process creates frameworks and agreements that countries adopt to address pressing environmental issues like climate change such as the Paris Agreement. In this episode, host Erika Schiller is joined by Nathalie Flores, Vice-Chair of the Subsidiary for Science and Technology Body of UN Climate Change, to discuss the role of COP in advancing international climate policy and action. With COP29 in Azerbaijan in November, their conversation provides timely insights into what the event is, why it matters, and how it sets the stage for global agreements and national commitments.  Nathalie explains the significance of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement in establishing markets for emissions reduction and discusses how countries meet climate targets through Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

A climate science group under the United Nations recently faced a fight over the date of its next set of reports – a seemingly small squabble that could have big implications on future global climate policy. Many countries want these reports, covering the science behind the latest trends and ways to tackle the growing risks, by 2028, in time for a review of whether global climate efforts are sufficient. But others want a longer timeline, an ask that critics think represents some governments avoiding advice they do not want to hear. So how does this whole process work? What is the IPCC doing in the years between the major reports, and what challenges do they have to deal with? More broadly, how is the IPCC keeping itself useful – given that most people today generally think they know enough about climate change? The interaction and debates between science and policymakers becomes “more heated” as global warming raises the stakes for governments to get climate action right, Dr Theresa Wong, head of science at the technical support unit of IPCC's Working Group II, tells the Eco-Business Podcast. Tune in as we discuss: - The latest work on an IPCC special report on cities - Upcoming work to finalise contents for the next set of main assessment reports - What the debate over report timelines show about the state of science and policymaking today - Whether the interface between policy, politics and science benefits climate action - How the IPCC can keep itself relevant amid greater public understanding of global warming

Today we are joined by Duncan Logan, CEO & Co-Founder of 9Zero. A community platform to bring climate professionals together in person and online so we can work together to solve the climate crisis. Duncan previously founded RocketSpace where he saw many tech startups that would go on to become unicorns. Companies like Uber, FlexPort, and Spotify. Having this experience made him realize the importance of creating a hub for people to collaborate and bump into each other. They are extending this even further by building these hubs in all major climate cities because unlike the 2000's tech boom, there is no one silicon valley for climate. We need to connect NY, DC, Boston, Houston, London, Berlin, SF, Seattle, and beyond. Duncan brings a lot of experience and some great stories (like the time he met Elon). Enjoy! ---

The climate crisis cannot be solved by one person, one organization, one company, or one government. A network of collaboration is being built, and nonprofits often serve as the connective tissue. Our guest today Brett Jenks, is the CEO of Rare.org, a global conservation and development organization dedicated to empowering communities in the world's most biologically diverse regions to sustainably manage their natural resources. Under Brett's leadership, Rare has grown from a small nonprofit into a global leader in conservation, with a $30 million annual budget and active projects across 60 countries. Rare's efforts span a variety of critical areas, including Fish Forever, the world's largest coastal fishery recovery effort; Lands for Life, a climate-smart agriculture program; the groundbreaking Center for Behavior & the Environment, which merges behavioral science with conservation; and Climate Culture, a strategy designed to help the U.S. meet its Paris Agreement targets.Beyond his leadership of Rare, Brett is also an innovator in the for-profit sector with the Meloy Fund, a blue economy investment vehicle that supports a growing portfolio of companies, including several focused on sustainable fisheries in Southeast Asia and EverForest, a video game that turns virtual actions into real-world tree planting. Brett shared seven ideas Americans can act on to change their environmental impact. You can learn more about Rare at https://rare.org/ and about the Meloy Fund at https://www.meloyfund.com/

Kristalina Georgieva outlines the IMF's efforts to help countries most affected by global warming invest in climate adaptation and resilience. Then, Tina Stege explains how the Marshall Islands, a collection of 29 coral atolls between Hawaii and Australia, have been impacted by rising sea levels and her push on the global stage for a loss and damage fund.

Fridays for Future, the movement started by teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, held a global climate strike on Friday Sept. 20. In Albany, about 100 climate activists gathered at the Governor's Mansion to demand stronger climate action from Governor Hochul, especially in light of recent reports that the state is failing to meet its 2030 goals for emission reductions and renewable energy. The groups urged the Governor to sign the Climate Superfund Act and other bills. The groups addressed how climate justice requires addressing other issues as well, such as war, food, and housing. We hear first from Xan Plymale of Fridays for Future and Extinction Rebellion. Other speakers were Erin Zipman, NeTS (Network for Sustainable Tomorrow; Mehr Sharma, United Tenants of Albany; Joe Seeman, candidate for State Assembly; Rula Saidam, a student from Annur Islamic School; and Nadia Bennett, Soul Fire Farm.

In this episode of 50 Shades of Green, we're talking resilience. We sat down with Mercy Corps' Chief Climate Officer, David Nicholson, and Julie Kjestrup, Head of Policy and Thought Leadership at VELUX, to chat about different avenues of climate resilience. From adaptation projects in the humanitarian development sector to creating a Renovation Revolution in buildings across Europe, we explore the strategies and capacity needed to prepare communities for current and future impacts of the climate crisis. 

Did the Trump administration purposefully target international Muslims during the COVID pandemic? Should gain-of-function research on microorganisms be outlawed? What did the pandemic reveal about the American healthcare system? And do these things (and other issues) warrant a non-partisan congressional commission to investigate the US response to COVID? Then, we review the state-of-the-climate. Are we going to be able to limit global warming to only 2 degrees? And what is the 'global climate tipping-point' that we might surpass as early as 2032? ‘Bench Talk: The Week in Science' is a weekly radio program that airs on WFMP Louisville FORward Radio 106.5 FM (forwardradio.org) every Monday at 7:30 pm, Tuesday at 11:30 am, and Wednesday at 7:30 am.

The United States has fallen into the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP's) green energy trap. The Chinese regime essentially dusted off its 5G playbook and applied it to green infrastructure in an attempt to make the United States dependent on them for energy. And this dependency on China for cheaper “green energy” technology and infrastructure has allowed the Chinese regime to hijack America's progressive environmental agenda for its own benefit. And as this happens, a new trade war is brewing between the United States and China over green energy. These are all critically important topics to America's national security. Which is why we've invited Victoria Coates on to talk with us. She's the former deputy national security adviser to former President Donald Trump, and vice president of national security and foreign policy at The Heritage Foundation. In this interview, we'll be exposing the CCP's so-called “Chinese Handcuffs,” their strategy to control “green energy” sources, how they've exploited the U.S.' climate change agenda, and what the United States can do about it.

A global climate agreement makes an unprecedented call for a transition away from fossil fuels, but with major loopholes. CNN has details. Israel is detaining civilians in Gaza. Many have disappeared, families say. The Washington Post has the story. People are more likely to pick a meat-free option if it's not labeled vegan, a study suggests. Sky News reports.
