Stell dir vor, dein Werk stößt an einem einzigen Standort so viel CO₂ aus wie ein Prozent von ganz Deutschland. Salzgitter will das ändern und investiert 2,7 Milliarden Euro in die Dekarbonisierung. Mitten im Prozess ändert die EU aber ihre Pläne für den Emissionshandel. In dieser Folge bekommst du ein Update was genau die EU-Kommission für den ETS 1 und CBAM vorschlägt. Und einen ehrlichen Einblick, wie sich das Hin und Her auf die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit deiner Dekarbonisierungsstrategie direkt auswirkt. Frank Best ist Professor für Betriebswirtschaftslehre an der HTWG Konstanz und forscht am Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung genau dazu, wie der EU-Emissionshandel Unternehmen in ihrer Dekarbonisierung beeinflusst. Er räumt bei Podcast-Host Zackes gefährliches Halbwissen rund um den ETS auf und erklärt, warum wir die Dekarbonisierung in China massiv unterschätzen. Alexander Redenius von Salzgitter Mannesmann Forschung ist seit 2015 einer der Mitinitiatoren von SALCOS (Salzgitter Low CO₂ Steelmaking) - einem der vermutlich größten Dekarbonisierungsprojekte in Deutschland. Er gibt Zackes reale Einblicke in die Chancen und Herausforderungen der Dekarbonisierung deutscher Schwerindustrie und was es für unsere Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und funktionierende Geschäftsmodelle braucht. ✅ Was der neue EU-ETS-Vorschlag vom Juli 2026 konkret ändert: der lineare Reduktionsfaktor. ✅ Warum CBAM europäische Stahlhersteller schützt und wo er in der Praxis an Grenzen stößt. ✅ Wie Salzgitter mit SALCOS über 95 Prozent CO₂ einsparen könnte und wie sich ändernde Rahmenbedingungen darauf auswirken. ✅ Warum gerade jetzt Zauderer belohnt und Pioniere bestraft werden könnten. Eine wertvolle Folge für alle Sustainability Manager und Geschäftsführer, die verstehen wollen, wie sich der CO₂-Preis auf ihre Branche auswirkt. Auch außerhalb der Stahlindustrie.

The best leaders don't just carry their titles. They take a walk, listen to the people around them, and make space for others.In this episode of Agency for Change, Lyn sits down with Stacey Coleman, Culture and Sustainability Manager at the UNMC College of Public Health, to explore what it really means to lead beyond a title. Stacey shares how public health work is often most successful when you don't notice it, what it took to build the UNMC Staff Advisory Council from the ground up, and why listening, grace, and simply taking a walk can make a meaningful difference in workplace culture.Connect with Stacey and the UNMC College of Public Health: ·       Website – https://www.unmc.edu/publichealth·       Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/cophunmc·       Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/unmccoph

1 Prozent. So viele Unternehmen sagen von sich, dass ihre Scope-3-Daten wirklich entscheidungsreif sind. Der Rest?

Die Zukunft unserer Arbeit ist die Zukunft unserer Erde, sagt Hans Rusinek. Bestseller-Autor und Arbeitsforscher an der Uni St. Gallen. Das heißt für uns: wir werden mit der Nachhaltigkeit in unseren Organisationen nur so weit kommen, wie wir sie mit den Arbeitsdiskursen übereinanderlegen. Einer seiner größten Kritikpunkte ist, dass wir für komplexe Herausforderungen wie Nachhaltigkeit Zeit brauchen. Zeit, die im typischen Unternehmensalltag mit Meeting dicht an Meeting nicht eingeplant ist. Aber können wir es uns überhaupt leisten, uns Zeit zu nehmen? Laut seiner Forschung sollten wir das sogar. Während der Sommerpause, gibt es daher diesen Klassiker aus den beliebtesten Gewinne Zukunft Folgen. Hans erklärt Podcast Host Zackes, wie erfolgreiche Organisationen ihren Umgang mit Zeit, Technologien, Prozessen und Strukturen verändern können. Erfahre, welche fatalen vier Typologien häufig in Unternehmen zu finden sind und warum diese uns nicht ans Ziel bringen. Höre, welche Veränderungsdimensionen entscheidend sind, um erfolgreich an nachhaltigen und gesunden Unternehmen zu arbeiten. Eine der wichtigsten und praktischen Konzepte ist dabei der Dreiklang aus: ✅ Mindset ✅ Skillset ✅ Toolset Hans erklärt das Konzept an konkreten und geläufigen Nachhaltigkeitsmaßnahmen in Unternehmen. Und zeigt auf, dass erfolgreiche Veränderungen nur dort stattfinden, wo alle drei Bereiche mitgedacht werden. Und warum sieht Hans die Vier-Tages-Woche in Bezug auf Nachhaltigkeitsziele kritisch oder sagt, dass es die Gen Z in der Arbeitsforschung überhaupt nicht gibt?

Wir sind alle gerade Laborratten in einem riesigen Experiment. Und niemand hat uns gefragt, ob wir mitmachen wollen. Was macht GenAI wirklich mit unserem Gehirn? Verdummen wir, wenn wir Claude oder ChatGPT nutzen? Und wie setzt man KI so ein, dass man davon profitiert statt langfristig das kritische Denken zu verlieren? Im Gespräch mit Podcast-Host Zackes Brustik gibt Benjamin Bargetzi Antworten, die im KI-Hype völlig untergehen. Er ist Neurowissenschaftler und Psychologe mit Forschungserfahrung in Oxford, war in Führungspositionen bei Google und Amazon, gründet Startups an der Schnittstelle von KI und mentaler Gesundheit und berät Regierungen. ✅ Was neurobiologisch passiert, wenn wir kritisches Denken an die Maschine abgeben und ob man es zurückbekommt. ✅ Wie du dein Gehirn offline pflegst, damit du online wirklich profitierst. ✅ Die drei einzigen sinnvollen Anwendungsfälle für KI und warum Prompt Engineering nicht dazu gehört. ✅ Warum KI Europas letzte Chance sein könnte, wenn wir sie mit europäischen Werten angehen. Nebenbei erfährst du, wie wir als Eltern unsere Kinder sinnvoll auf den Umgang mit KI vorbereiten. Und wie Frontheimkehrer in der Ukraine psychologisch durch KI unterstützt werden, aber anders als du vielleicht vermuten würdest. Eine Folge für Entscheider, CEOs und Sustainability Manager, die KI nicht nur nutzen wollen, sondern wirklich verstehen. SHOWNOTES:

Der China-Schock ist real. Nicht nur bei Elektroautos – sondern bei Kränen, Textilmaschinen, Spezialchemie und Hunderten weiteren Branchen, die den deutschen Wohlstand seit Jahrzehnten tragen. Wer sich für ein zukunftsfähiges und nachhaltiges Wirtschaften einsetzt, kommt nicht umhin sich den tieferen Gründen für die in Echtzeit wegbrechenden Arbeitsplätzen zu widmen. Im Gespräch mit Podcast-Host Zackes Brustik erklärt Maximilian Paleschke, Co-Founder des Thinktanks Dezernat Zukunft, warum die politische Debatte den falschen Fokus hat und welche drei Länder zeigen, dass ein Turnaround möglich ist. ✅ Warum Energiepreise und Bürokratie nicht das eigentliche Problem sind – und was wirklich hinter dem Niedergang steckt. ✅ Wie Südkorea, Schweden und die USA ihre Kernindustrien neu erfunden haben – und was Deutschland daraus lernen kann. ✅ Welche Rolle GreenTech als Wachstumstreiber spielen könnte – wenn wir jetzt die richtigen Weichen stellen. ✅ Warum technologische Exzellenz und Nachhaltigkeit keine Gegensätze sind – sondern die einzige Antwort auf den Systemwettbewerb mit China. Ein makroökonomischer Deep Dive, der aber gerade für Sustainability Manager unglaublich wichtig ist, um die Perspektive der Gegenüber in der Geschäftsführung besser zu verstehen.

In this episode, we explore how climate change is already reshaping sport-from extreme heat disrupting elite competitions to flooded grassroots pitches across the UK.Host Martin Foster is joined by Elliot Brown, Sustainability Manager at Loughborough University, and Jess Silva, co‑founder of Carbon Jacked, to unpack both the challenges and the opportunities facing the sports industry.From decarbonising Olympic‑standard facilities to launching innovative initiatives like the Climate Cup and even turning litter picking into a competitive sport, this conversation shows how creativity, communication and leadership can drive real change.It's an honest conversation about where sport is falling short-but also a powerful look at how it can inspire millions to act. The message is simple: sustainability doesn't have to be boring, and everyone-from elite athletes to grassroots clubs-has a role to play.Find out more about the Climate Cup: https://carbonjacked.com/theclimatecupSport and Climate Change 7:06Loughborough uni and sustainability 15:22Carbon Jacked 25:31The Climate Cup 32:08Getting involved 45:56

What happens when a nation rich in beauty and resources is held back by spiritual syncretism, crushing poverty, and foreign interests—and Christians still refuse to give up?    In this episode of God on the Move, Mahafahatra Vonintsoa shares how Madagascar's traditions of ancestor worship and zebu sacrifice shape gospel conversations, why discipleship is urgently needed as many mix Christianity with traditional beliefs, and how the 2009 political coup coincided with her being born again and reshaped her view of development as starting with restored people. She also opens up about failed efforts like a stalled solar project, the eye-opening impact of medical missions to remote communities, and the “Sisterhood of Seven Women” dreaming of practical, holistic education initiatives for girls—inviting collaborators, volunteers, and support, and asking for prayer for spiritual strength and a way forward for Madagascar.

Das sorgte prompt für heiße Diskussionen: Mitte Februar erschien der Sustainable Transformation Monitor 2026 und bot einige Reibungspunkte für Profis. Denn die Befragung von über 800 Unternehmen zeichnet ein fragmentiertes Bild - gerade bezüglich dem Thema Business Case und Wirtschaftlichkeit von Nachhaltigkeit. Kurios: Politische Vertreter:innen vom ganzen Spektrum zitierten anschließend daraus, um ihr jeweiliges Narrativ zu untermauern. Auch Podcast-Host Zackes muss nochmal eines seiner liebsten Narrative hinterfragen: Der vermeintlich kommende ESG-Druck aus dem Finanzsektor. Ist doch nicht so viel dran, wie er in bisherigen Folgen meinte? Im Gespräch mit Podcast-Host Zackes Brustik ordnen zwei an der Studie beteiligte Profis die Ergebnisse ein: Manuel Reppmann von der Uni Hamburg hat den STM mit aufgebaut und Incken Wentorp, Nachhaltigkeitsleiterin der Zech Gruppe, ist über die Peer School for Sustainable Development daran beteiligt. Zudem ist sie jemand, die die Studienergebnisse täglich in der Unternehmenspraxis spürt. ✅ Warum sehen viele Unternehmen den Business Case für Nachhaltigkeit noch nicht – und was hilft dagegen? ✅ Wie viele der Unternehmen außerhalb des neuen Scopes werden freiwillig weiter reporten? ✅ Wie repräsentativ ist der STM wirklich - auch im Vergleich zu anderen Studien? Eine Folge für alle, die das Narrativ rund um Nachhaltigkeit glaubwürdig mitgestalten und den aktuellen Herausforderungen mit echtem Pragmatismus begegnen wollen.

Zu teuer, zu politisch, zu komplex – das deutsche Energiesystem spielt für viele Sustainability Manager eine große Rolle. Aber kaum einer blickt wirklich durch. Zwischen politischen Schützengräben und fossilen Narrativen ist der sachliche Blick auf Fakten und zukunftsfähigen Lösungen verlorengegangen. Wer das Thema unternehmensintern vorantreiben will, betritt ein politisches Minenfeld - zuletzt verschärft durch Ministerin Reiches Netzpaket 2026. Im Gespräch mit Podcast-Host Zackes Brustik räumt Tim Meyer das Thema für dich auf. 25 Jahre Erfahrung im Energiemarkt, u.a. als Geschäftsführer von Naturstrom, Vorstand beim Bundesverband Neue Energiewirtschaft und Autor des Buchs „Strom" – und vor allem: jemand, der unbequeme Wahrheiten klar benennt und komplexe Themen gut erklärt. Nach dieser Folge weißt Du, wie du den Preisschmerz und die regulative Irrfahrt nutzt, um als Sustainability Manager die Dekarbonisierung zurück in den Fokus des Boards zu holen. Entscheidend sind clevere Maßnahmen und Stichworte wie Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Peak Shaving oder atypische Netznutzung. ✅ Warum hohe Strompreise nichts mit der Energiewende zu tun haben.. ✅ Was das Verteilnetz mit eurer Unternehmensstrategie zu tun hat – und warum 5 Milliarden Euro einfach verschenkt werden. ✅ Wie PV, Speicher und Co euch hinter dem Zähler (Behind the meter) euer Unternehmen heute schon unabhängiger und resilienter machen. ✅ Wie ihr den Business Case für Energieeffizienz und Dekarbonisierung intern vertretet – ohne in die politische Falle zu tappen. Diese Folge schlägt den Bogen von der großen Debatte hin zu euren Unternehmensentscheidungen – sachlich, faktenbasiert und mit den richtigen Stichworten für dein nächstes Gespräch mit dem C-Level.

Why are we completely ignoring our biggest organ, our skin? The skin care and cosmetics industry is a 200 billion industry and growing fast, often with great margins. Most of it is filled with barely legal chemicals, but there is a fast-growing natural, even regenerative, beauty space and we talk to one of the leaders.We cover everything with Pierluigi Scordari, Sustainability Manager di N&B Natural is Better: ferments, probiotics and prebiotics, the skin microbiome, how they started, why they are fully vertically integrated, why they specifically grow plants for their active ingredients (aka nutrient density), and why processing fast (less than 2 hours after harvest) is so crucial, otherwise the ingredients aren't alive and thus not working anymore.Does it sound familiar? There are so many overlaps and similarities with the food space, except that this skin care space is full of really well-built brands with great margins. So, we have some work to do! And for many regen farmers, growing something for the skin care industry could be very interesting. Many plants which thrive almost naturally in the hard Mediterranean climate (rosemary, lavender, olives, etc.) are fundamental ingredients.Yes, this involves frequencies, thinking about playing music to the plants and asking permission before removing leaves, all to achieve the highest possible quality and effectiveness. We spent a lot of time unpacking the almost superpowers of the queen of healthy plants: aloe vera.More about this episode.Thoughts? Ideas? Questions?

To change the world, you've got to throw a better party than those destroying it". This is a quote from Louisa Ziane at Toast ale, and is one of my faves, and something I try and keep front of mind. 'Sustainability' has an image problem and is very often seem as something that is dull and dry and bleak, and for the keen greenies over there wearing lots of hemp, or for the lone Sustainability Manager at a company.It's not really something we'd bring up in conversation down the pub. Or is it..?Adam Bastock is the founder of People, Planet, Pint - a simple concept of getting like-minded people together 'down the pub' for a chat. From a What's App message at COP26 asking if anyone fancied a pint, People, Planet, Pint now hosts around 80 events every month, in 120 locations around the world! It's such a brilliantly simple idea - one of the things that many of us struggle with is feeling like we're on our own, at the same time perhaps as feeling like the more traditional forms of 'activism' aren't really for us or feel out of our comfort zone. People, Planet, Pint is a great way to connect with other people locally, and to recognise that it's not just you, and that you're not on your own, and who knows what might come of a conversation over a pint (or glass of wine/diet coke/insert other drink choice here!) down the pub.

Praise for the Government's loosening of climate reporting rules. It's proposing to lift the climate reporting threshold for listed companies worth 60 million dollars to one billion. The changes would also see directors no longer have personal responsibility if their company breaks climate reporting rules. NZX Sustainability Manager Simon Beattie told Mike Hosking that they're common sense changes. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A seminar on Ireland's energy future will discuss how regulation and infrastructural challenges in energy are negatively impacting economic growth in Ireland. Taking place on Wednesday 2 April and hosted by Engineers Ireland's Energy, Environment, and Climate Action Division, The Merging Energy Landscape - A Pivotal Shift in Industry to Address the Carbon Budget Challenge Seminar, will also highlight the challenges businesses face to reduce emissions, the pressure on industry to meet targets, and the impact on the environment and economy if we fall short. Speakers at the seminar will include Ciara Ahern, senior lecturer of Building Engineering, TU Dublin and Peter Lantry, Managing Director, Ireland, Equinix a global data centre provider. According to Ciara Ahern: "The future of smart buildings lies in their ability to act as flexible demand assets within our evolving energy systems. Yet, there is still a significant gap between where we are and where we need to be. "This seminar will explore how emerging guidelines, scalable solutions, and digital infrastructure can enable buildings to participate in energy markets - reducing carbon emissions and enhancing grid resilience while facilitating greater penetration of renewable energy." Equinix owns 268 data centres globally, including four retail colocation facilities and 2 xScale facilities in Dublin. Peter Lantry will discuss the need for Ireland to address existing barriers to further digital investment if the country is to avoid missing crucial economic opportunities. "Ireland, especially Dublin, has successfully attracted digital services companies, including data centres, over the past 40 years. The challenge now is how to keep pace with other tech nations amid energy distribution and supply issues that have deterred data centre development, which impacts Ireland's economy." Additional speakers at the seminar will include Conor Minogue, Senior Executive at IBEC discussing the business case for meeting climate action targets, and Heidi Duffy, Operations Environmental and Sustainability Manager at Iarnród Éireann, sharing insights on the challenges and solutions to the transition to sustainable public transport. This event will take place in Engineers Ireland, 22 Clyde Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. Tickets are available at www.engineersireland.ie or by following this link. See more stories here.

Allison Berg is sustainability manager for DS Smith North America, where she manages the delivery of the company's Now & Next Sustainability Strategy, which focuses on closing the sustainability loop through better design, protecting natural resources by making the most of every fiber, reducing waste and pollution through circular solutions and equipping people to lead the transition to a circular economy. Allison is passionate about bringing positive change to communities who are underserved and are directly impacted by climate change. Allison Joins Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Circularity and circular design metrics DS Smith's nature focus area and biodiversity targets Bundling low ROI projects like water with higher ROI projects for leadership buy-in Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Allison's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give to other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers?  Get your hands on as much as possible. Sustainability is such an evolving large field ranging from reporting and regulations, carbon water waste projects, circularity, community engagement, safety, biodiversity, etc. The more that you can get your hands on, the better. My role at DS Smith, managing our sustainability strategy specifically for North America, has allowed me to get my hands on a lot of different topics that maybe you wouldn't if you're in a company that's a bit more siloed. If you have the opportunity to do something random, like you're focused on water and someone says, "do you want to pick this community piece up?" Go ahead. If you're open to it, you might as well try. Especially in the job markets, they're really looking for multifaceted people that could do a lot of different varieties of things. That'll put you one step ahead if you're doing all sorts of different things.  What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability?  Scope 3, because it's such an evolving field that everybody is currently trying to sort through, us included. It'll be really interesting to see that legislation as well. I know the SEC and scope 3 conversation was around recently and didn't really happen here in the US, but it's happening in Europe, so it's only a matter of time before that'll make its way over here. That, and I would say 2030 sustainability goals. I'm really looking forward to when 2029, 2030 comes around. All these companies have these big 2030 goals. Are they going to hit them? And if they don't, what are the consequences that we're going to see from these companies if they do not hit their established targets? I'm definitely looking forward to the next six years or so. It should be interesting.  What is one book you'd recommend sustainability leaders read?  I do a lot of different nonfiction reading at work between reports and standards and regulations and so on, so I'm typically a fiction reader. However, I highly recommend sustainability professionals if they haven't really done so already, to watch An Inconvenient Truth, which is the documentary by Al Gore back in 2006. That documentary in particular is what inspired me to do what I do now. I was hooked the second I watched it. It was really inspiring the way Al Gore presents, he's an amazing presenter. I highly recommend watching that. I know he's done an updated Inconvenient Truth in the last couple of years as well that's more with the times, but I highly recommend it for those who have not seen it yet.  What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work?  Recently I joined the International Society of Sustainability Professionals, the ISSP. They have a lot of interesting resources as well as a new certification called the SEA and the SEP, the Sustainability Excellence Associate and Professional. They have a lot of interesting tools. I would also say relevant industry associations. For example, for me being in the pulp and paper industry, our main trade association, the American Forest and Paper Association, they have a large sustainability component as part of what they do. I assume other relevant industry associations will also have some sustainability component as everybody, including trade associations, have some sort of sustainability goals at this point. Those could be interesting resources as well.  Where can our listeners go to learn more about you and the work being done at DS Smith?  I am on LinkedIn, Alison Berg, PMP if you'd like to find me.

Lisen Wirén is a sustainable business leader with over 15 years of industry experience. Her extensive background includes tackling labour migration and human rights issues in South East Asia and advancing sustainability in product design and working with social entrepreneurship. Her leadership led IKEA to win the most sustainable retailer award and a nomination for Wirén for the prestigious Sustainability Manager of the Year award in the Netherlands. Key to her approach is the seamless integration of sustainability into every function and team to reach the set organizational goals. She is based in Helsingborg, Sweden. Pia Heidenmark Cook is a Senior Advisor with Teneo, working with the ESG and Sustainability team to advise clients on how to develop and operationalise sustainability strategies and the implications for reputation strategies. Prior to Teneo, Pia was the Chief Sustainability Officer for IKEA, where she led the development and implementation of the IKEA People and Planet Positive strategy. Her cross-functional team worked closely with the business on developing circular business models (including take back offers, leasing and second hand), launching new sustainable offers (such as selling solar panels across 14 markets) and helping customers to live more sustainable and healthier lives. During this time, IKEA ranked in the top three most sustainable brands and managed to decouple carbon dioxide emissions from its commercial growth across the value chain. Pia and Lisen Join Sustainable Nation to Discuss: Their co-authored book, Embedding Sustainability First steps for companies getting started with sustainability, including engaging stakeholders Tips for incorporating sustainability into each employee's day to day job and tying these actions to sustainability objectives Advice and recommendations for sustainability professionals Pia and Lisen's Final Five Questions Responses: What is one piece of advice you would give other sustainability professionals that might help them in their careers?  Pia: I would start by saying understanding that sustainability and working with sustainability is as much about technical competence to understand the topic and all its facets as it is about change management and understanding how to work with people and change management.  Lisen: This field has become very much about reporting and that's something Pia and I have discussed quite a lot and of course that's very important and that's something that is driving sustainability and is also a wake up call for many businesses. But I would also encourage sustainability managers to try not to get too stuck in that, but to involve other relevant functions to support with the reporting so that they can still keep a strategic focus and lead the sustainability agenda. What we see is that the sustainability leader, manager, CSO, should be orchestrating the change, um, rather than getting too stuck in reporting. What are you most excited about right now in the world of sustainability? That  Pia: That it's becoming more and more mainstream. We're still not doing enough, but most people just know that it's here to stay, it's something we need to deal with. There's  levels of how deep the integration is and how far they come, but people are not questioning that the long-term direction is that companies need to deal with social and environmental issues to stay in business and be relevant.  Lisen: One of the persons that we interview is a designer and she talks about that 80% of the climate footprint sits in the design stage. For me that really triggers something for me to think about the real opportunity that sits within circularity. When designers and product developers and architects and so on, when they are opening up their eyes for the possibilities of circularity and getting excited about the creativity and innovation that that requires, I think there's unlimited possibilities.  What is one book you'd recommend sustainability professionals read?  Pia: I would say a mix of books that paint a picture of 'why' to more CSO handbooks. Books that are more hands-on, painting the picture of the environmental challenges or the social challenges so you build that knowledge, to those where where you get practical, concrete examples from others that have done the work. I think it's a lot about recognizing different situations and learning from them to get tools to keep doing the change journey yourself. I would also recommend one of the many books by Berne Brown about leadership and personal leadership and being your authentic self.  Lisen: I would go for a more action oriented solution-focused book, and that one is called Exponential Climate Solutions by Rebecka Carlsson. She's a Swedish author and she started at Singularity University and focused on different solutions that can have an exponential development. That's a very interesting, practical hands-on book with loads of examples.  What are some of your favorite resources or tools that really help you in your work?  Pia: Talking to people, meeting people, listening to people. Maybe not a lot of newsletters, of course to stay updated, but really the dialogue when you listen and talk to people and learn from them.  Lisen: To compliment that answer, one of the advices or suggestions that we give in the last part of the book is actually to sometimes look at what you need for yourself to keep on going, since this is not a sprint, but it's rather a marathon. You need to be able to last long as a leader, and one tool to do so can also be to sometimes zoom out from negative news and practice basically a news detox, trying to focus on the long-term positive improvements that are happening and that might not be an phone alert. Balance the negative news with some positive long-term development.  Where can our listeners go to learn more about both of you and your book? Embeddingsustainability.com or our LinkedIn pages.
