On the heels of the fires that continue in Los Angeles, the Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that 2024 was the first calendar year that was 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels – the limit agreed upon in the Paris Climate Agreement. Yet, support for climate policies here in Canada seem to be on the wane. According to Abacus Data, concern about climate change has decreased 14 points between 2023 and 2024, from 76% to 62% of Canadians. And, according to an Ipsos poll from this month, climate change or the environment was ranked ninth among the list of priorities for Canadian voters. Housing, healthcare, economy, inflation/interest rates, and immigration rounded out the top five. Do we simply no longer care about climate change in this country – especially at the ballot box?

Gita Sjahrir, Head of Investment at BNI Ventures, and Jeremy Au talked about three main themes: 1. $1.5 Trillion USD Green Investment Gap: Jeremy and Gita agreed with Bain & Company's report that Southeast Asia is "woefully off track" on green investments to reduce emissions and needs new policies and financial mechanisms to help bridge the gap. They discussed the significant costs associated with transitioning to green energy, e.g. retiring a single coal-fired power plant would cost over several hundred million dollars. They discussed Indonesia's ambitious goal and challenging execution to shift to a zero-carbon electricity grid by 2060, serving a population with a current GDP per capita of around $5,000 USD. They also discussed how high interest rates negatively impact renewable energy investments, vs. the prior era of zero interest rate policy (ZIRP). 2. Electric Vehicle Manufacturing Viability: Southeast Asia is the 7th largest automotive manufacturing hub globally, producing approximately 3.5 million vehicles in 2021, led by Thailand (1.6 million vehicles), followed by Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. They debated the feasibility of transitioning these capabilities to EV manufacturing, noting the significant challenges in creating a fully functional EV manufacturing ecosystem. They also touched on Indonesia's strategy to leverage their asset of having the world's largest nickel reserves to foster a complete battery supply chain. 3. Competition vs. China Industrial Policy: Jeremy and Gita covered China's formidable manufacturing policy stack (land rights, subsidies, education, worker rights, currency) for their nexus of steel, solar, nuclear, manufacturing, semiconductor and EV industries. They discussed the new Chinese approach to export not just goods, but also their manufacturing value chains, into Southeast Asian markets, and the appropriate competition vs. partnership by local manufacturers. They also debated how startups like Sleek and Dat Bike should position themselves strategically in terms of production vs. sales vs. fundraising. Jeremy and Gita also talked about public health benefits from decreased air pollution, upcoming market consolidation in the EV industry, and the necessity of a multi-decade policy approach in solving sustainable energy transition challenges.

The return of the Northern Ireland Assembly means there's a new man in charge at the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs, or DAERA. We speak to Andrew Muir about his priorities.After leaving the EU, the four nations of the UK have decided on different payment systems for farmers. In England the Environmental Land Management Scheme, or ELMS, has several parts to it. The Sustainable Farming Incentive or SFI is part of that. It pays farmers for doing environmental work, like planting hedges or improving soils. Some English farmers felt there was little ‘incentive' to join it, because payments were too low. However in January that changed. 50 new things farmers could do to attract money were added to the scheme and some payments were increased. We discuss what those were with the Farming Minister Mark Spencer.All week we've been looking at the business side of running a farm. Farmers have long argued that they deal with far too much paperwork. One company set up to help them with form filling says it's been inundated with requests and believes many farmers feel burdened and isolated by the sheer amount of red tape. Diversification is often key to a successful farm business. According to DEFRA, 69% of farm businesses were engaged in some kind of diversification in 2022-23. We visit a small upland farm in the Lake District to find out how diversification has worked for them.In the Scottish Highlands vast tracts of land and whole estates are being bought as ‘green investments'. Tree planting and rewilding are used to offset carbon. A report for the Scottish Government has tried to quantify the impact of this on rural communities.

For tech businesses operating in sectors enabling the net zero economy, investment in research and development takes both time and money. Investors in turn face challenges in deciding which technologies are likely to produce the high-growth businesses of tomorrow.

Hear from major investors who are funding businesses that are increasing the pace of the transition to net zero and hear first-hand insights into the market. Featuring Cathering Lewis La Torre (CEO, British Patient Capital), Scott Marshall (Managing Director, Roma Finance), Patrick Sheehan (Founder & Managing Partner, ETF Partners), and Estia Ryan (Head of Research, Eka Ventures).

Back in May, the government injected another $300m into NZ Green Investment Finance – or NZGIF – taking the green bank's investment pool to $700m. Starting in 2019 the bank has committed about $300m in 16 transactions to-date. Given the scale of the transition, why is it such a small sum and why is it taking so long to spend it? What impact is it having on emissions reductions? And will the bank survive a potential change of government? To answer this and more Vincent was joined by chief officer manager Jason Patrick.

It seems over the past few years that countries have been rolling out net zero goals faster than you can say - decarbonisation. But the clock is ticking towards these targets and it is time for action. According to the latest report by Bain & Company, Temasek, GenZero and Amazon Web Services  - Governments across Southeast Asia have set climate ambitions, but not enough action has been taken to meet nationally determined contribution targets by 2030. The report highlights that SEA faces a unique set of challenges, making decarbonization particularly difficult.

The Labour Shadow Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, has said that "financial stability has to come first" and that the party would not be able to invest a pledged £28bn a year in green industries straightaway if it wins power at the next election. Instead Labour plans to raise investment on an annual basis, reaching £28bn a year by 2027. The war in Ukraine has seen inflation soar and the Bank of England has increased interest rates, making borrowing more expensive, in an attempt to tame rising prices. Today's Justin Webb spoke to Rachel Reeves about the Green Prosperity Plan and the future of the UK economy. (Image Rachel Reeves, Credit, Henry Nicholls/ Reuters)

A post-pandemic recovery will need more than just an economic multiplier: It will require a complete reset. Post-COVID economic principles must prioritise resilience and inclusion. The pandemic has had a disproportionate impact on the most vulnerable, and the restart of the global economy will have to take this into account. Strong and effective female leaders have received considerable attention for their ability to manage the pandemic well; how will female leadership play into the recovery? What are the ways in which social contracts and economic arrangements, which have been disrupted by the pandemic year, can be rebuilt by women leaders to create a more sustainable and equitable world?Panelists:Minouche Shafik, Director, London School of Economics and Political Science, United Kingdom Geraldine Ang, Policy Analyst, Green Investment, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, France Bhakti Sharma, Sarpanch, Barkhedi Abdullah, India Delphine O, Ambassador-at-Large and Secretary General for the Generation Equality Forum, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, France Moderator- Kate Hampton, CEO, Children's Investment Fund Foundation, United Kingdom The Raisina Dialogue is a multilateral conference committed to addressing the most challenging issues facing the global community.

May sound a bit dry - but I can assure you it is not. Since controlling and redirecting what is being invested in - by you, by corporations and investment managers - is one of the key factors to funding the "green" solutions that will help us in building a more sustainable world across all sectors. We Talk about which sustainable investment possibilities there are, what has been driving these positive changes, greenwashing in the "sustainable investment" sector and what ESG-guidelines mean.

De la participation à l'Eco-Marathon Shell aux 24 Heures du Mans, du développement de solutions de mobilité durable aux Motor City Muscle cars, Michael a toujours été motivé par l'industrie automobile. Ingénieur, designer, ancien directeur chez PSA puis chez Volkswagen, il a été en charge de la prospective, du luxe et des concept-cars. Il a participé à plusieurs projets indépendants de voitures électriques qui ont été initiés dès 2007, comme mindset (Suisse), Tereco (Turquie), MiaElectric (France),… Depuis 2012, Michael a développé son réseau à Detroit en étant en charge de la stratégie, de la gestion, de la communication et de l'homologation chez EQUUS Automotive, constructeur de la BASS770. De nombreuses années de recherche indépendante ont convaincu Michael que les constructeurs automobiles devraient s'appuyer financièrement sur la valeur ajoutée immatérielle s'ils veulent atteindre leurs objectifs économiques et écologiques. MarketPlace business (cf. FreeCarProject), Green Investment (cf. FairCarProject), Services (cf. MicroCarSharing), et plus (à venir) sont d'énormes sources de profit sous-estimées. Considérer les voitures uniquement comme des « produits » conduit l'industrie dans une impasse excessive de coûts, de poids et de style sans signification. Cela nous fait confondre accumulation et modernité, technologie et innovation. Il serait beaucoup plus rentable pour tous (clients, constructeurs, actionnaires, fournisseurs, commerçants et… la planète) de concevoir des voitures qui soient le début des histoires des gens, plutôt que le résultat des préoccupations des constructeurs. L'avenir de l'automobile n'est pas tant dans la réalisation de produits sur-technologiques que dans la capacité des voitures à laisser venir le(s) futur(s), multiple et incertain. http://www.michaeloualid.com

We talk about Line 5, contemporary media, and the circular economy. Stefan interviews Matthew Klippenstein about the energy ‘efficiency’ of coal, wind and solar, and Tim Nash about ESGs vs ‘sustainable investing’.

Technological innovation has resulted in the cost of renewable energies such as wind and solar continuing to fall, with wide-scale deployment seen over the last two decades. Jon Moore, CEO of BloombergNEF, explores the future of investment behaviour, including the impact of consumer uptake rates, and why transparency is critical to moving the industry forward. With DNV's Energy Transition Outlook 2019 report calling for $1.5 trillion in annual investment by 2030, Jon explains how initiatives such as the Taskforce for Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) are helping businesses and investors to better understand their exposure to climate risk, opening the door to significant levels of investment in future.
