Message me your 'Takeaways'.If you're in your mid-30s or 40s and your fitness feels like it's slipping, this episode is for you.A strong body after 35 looks completely different to what it did in your 20s. Real life is pulling you in every direction: work, kids, mortgage, relationships. And the old approach, training hard, recovering fast, bouncing back,isn't cutting it the same way anymore.In this episode, I walk you through the 5 pillars of a strong body for men over 35, and why missing even one of them causes the whole thing to wobble. This isn't about becoming an athlete. It's about building the physical capacity to keep up with your life, now and in 40 years.You'll learn:- Why fitness after 35 has to be measured differently (stop comparing yourself to who you were at 25)- Pillar 1 - Capacity: how to build your ability to meet life's daily physical and mental demands without breaking- Pillar 2 - Sustainable Energy: why sleep beats every recovery tool you're using right now (including ice baths and saunas)- Pillar 3 - The Resilience Loop: The 4-step framework Lachie developed during 58 marathons in 58 days- Pillar 4 - Longevity: how to train for the man you want to be in 40 years, not just two- Pillar 5 - Objective Performance: why competing (against yourself or others) changes everythingAnd the training template that works for men without a specific event goal:→ 2x aerobic sessions per week→ 2x full body strength sessions→ 1x VO2 / high intensity sessionFree Life Performance Scorecard (under 4 minutes) → https://scorecard.lachlanstuart.com.au/Support the showTake the "Life Performance" Scorecard: HEREFollow Lachlan:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lachlanstuart/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LachlanJStuartLINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lachlan-stuartmtc/Website: https://www.lachlanstuart.com.au/Newsletter: https://lachlan-stuart-tmtcp.ck.page/profileDo Something Today To Be Better For Tomorrow

"While the word 'climate' may be politically charged for some, the need for affordable, reliable, and secure energy is something we can all agree on. Americans are calling for action, and as Members of Congress it's our responsibility to deliver. If we want long-term solutions that address both our constituents' concerns and growing climate risks, we must work together to strengthen our energy and climate security with urgency." Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan to Electric Ladies Podcast  As we in the U.S. commemorate Memorial Day this week and express gratitude for the sacrifice of thousands of servicemembers on behalf of our country, we are re-airing a landmark interview from last year with an Air Force veteran and Congresswoman who is working tirelessly and on a bipartisan basis to protect the climate and our energy systems. Listen to Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, who is co-chair of the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, a rare example of cooperation on Capitol Hill. She's also co-chair of the bipartisan Women in STEM Caucus and shares insights into how to build bipartisanship, protect our infrastructure from extreme climate events and provide clean, affordable energy.   You'll hear about: ·        How Pennsylvania's political landscape shapes the path of climate legislation ·        What the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus is doing to advance the clean energy transition ·        How extreme weather events can open the door to bipartisan climate action ·        Why Congresswoman Houlahan's leadership with the Women in STEM Caucus matters ·        Plus, insightful career advice   "Recognize that whatever you choose to do right now is not the end decision for the rest of your life. When you look backwards it's going to make sense, but when you look forward, it's going to be a crooked line. It's not going to be a straight line to somewhere, so do not to be too hard on yourself, do not try to seek perfection."

The conflict in Iran has very grave human costs for the Middle East. But it also has economic costs and they are being felt around the world and here in the UK.Just this week the Resolution Foundation think tank said higher energy bills could mean typical British households are £480 worse off this year. From heat pumps to pensions and solar panels to savings - what changes have you made because of the changing world?Felicity Hannah is joined by Ian Preston from the Centre for Sustainable Energy in Bristol, Ellen Fraser from the energy consultancy Baringa and Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at AJ Bell.Presenter: Felicity Hannah Producer: James Graham Editor: Rob Cave Senior News Editor: Sarah Wadeson(First broadcast 3pm Wednesday 15th April 2026) Photo: Niall Carson/PA Wire

Sustainable Energy is a cause near and dear to my heart. Samuel Shepherd is an award-winning physicist, inventor, and engineer with 42 patents and over 50 years of breakthroughs across biochemical, environmental, and medical engineering. His career has taken him from developing technologies for NASA and the Beijing Olympics to pioneering solutions in alternative energy and environmental remediation.  There is so much to learn from him in this episode. I absolutely loved learning from him, and I know you will too.    Meet Samuel:  Website: https://valasta.net/  Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ValAsta   Connect with Marian: https://www.roadtolivingwhole.com/about/  

In this special episode of This Week in Global Development, Alain Ebobissé, CEO of Africa50, joins Devex Managing Editor Anna Gawel to discuss a paradigm shift in African infrastructure investment. Africa50, a pan-African investor, is moving beyond one-off projects to aggregate large-scale, “institution-grade” sustainable energy assets. By shifting the narrative from a development imperative to a viable commercial opportunity, Ebobissé explains how his organization is attracting both global and African capital to bridge the continent's massive energy gap, which currently leaves around 600 million people without basic electricity. A centerpiece of the conversation is the critical role of private sector participation in electricity transmission, an area historically funded exclusively by governments. Ebobissé emphasizes that power generation is futile without the grid capacity to deliver electricity to end users and businesses, highlighting Africa50's work on the continent's first independent private transmission projects. Looking toward the next decade, he advocates for a balanced energy mix — including renewables and natural gas — and issues a call for a heightened sense of urgency among global institutions to prioritize results over perfection in order to close the energy gap at speed.

Ahead of Sustainable House Day, Helen Oakey, CEO from Renew explains how Australians are retrofitting, electrifying and rethinking the places they live. What began more than 40 years ago as a niche showcase for solar homes has evolved into a nationwide snapshot of the energy transition playing out in real houses, apartments and renovations around the country. With ageing housing stock leaving many Australians too hot in summer, too cold in winter and burdened by rising energy bills, more households are pursuing homes that are healthier, more comfortable, cheaper to run and more resilient. From insulation and draught-proofing to heat pumps, batteries and all-electric upgrades, Sustainable House Day gives people a chance to see what these changes look like in practice — and ask householders what's genuinely worked, what hasn't, and what they'd do differently.

Send us Fan MailWe are going to take a different approach this week and re-orient the conversation to the current state of our planet. Yes someone tried to assassinate the US President (and the conspiracy theories are flourishing), yes King Charles is trying to heal the “very special relationship” between the US and UK, yes the war with Iran is at a stalemate and economic impacts growing, along with having a new insurgency erupting in Mali, civilians continuing to be killed in Lebanon, Israel is facing EU anger for buying Ukrainian wheat from the Russians, and the UAE has left OPEC, but… What is going on with our planet and is it more important than all the rest? We're hearing escalating concerns from the scientific community about the forthcoming El Niño (it's either a Super or Godzilla at this point), AMOC is back in the news as a near-term threat, food shortages are expected to escalate from these changes immediately and long term (even if it's not included with food insecurity/inflation impact from the Iranian war, so we can expect a double whammy) and the world's oceans are experiencing record heat ALREADY. Where is this all taking us? We have Oliver Gill (the water man) back with us as co-host this week as Joe can't join us, however, unfortunately, Jan Umsonst, the Earth System Nerd, wasn't able to join us. No problem - an excuse to get him back again soon - but we still covered a lot of topics, from the economic situation today to the state of the planet more broadly. Come and join us as we step back and look at the state of the planet, this Friday, 1st May 2026.

This episode was first aired on 28/07/2022Is hydrogen gray until proven green? When looking into the energy transition and options for clean sources of energy, hydrogen is often listed as one of the key solutions for the future. The hype about its potential is undeniable, but so are the critics about its costs, efficiency and sustainability. In this podcast episode, you are invited to participate in a "trial by podcast," where you act as the jury, weighing evidence presented by both sides—Solar and Wind Energy versus Hydrogen—in a compelling debate over the viability and sustainability of hydrogen as a key player in the quest for a greener future.With exhibits ranging from research articles to interviews with experts like Jean-Marc Jancovici, the podcast offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of hydrogen technology, its economic feasibility, and its potential to revolutionize various sectors, from transportation to industrial processes. As an ‘expert witness', Allan Baker, Global Head of Power at Societe Generale*, discusses the state of play of Hydrogen in the economy.Ultimately, the episode challenges you to critically evaluate the evidence and form your own conclusions regarding the role of hydrogen in addressing climate change and advancing global sustainability efforts. As the trial concludes, it becomes evident that while hydrogen holds promise, further innovation and investment are necessary to realize its full potential as a sustainable energy solution in the journey towards Net Zero emissions.“Calling Hydrogen to the Stand” offers a unique blend of expertise, entertainment, and critical analysis, making it a standout addition to any listener's playlist. Presented as a "trial by podcast," this episode takes a creative approach to exploring the topic of renewable energy, providing an engaging and immersive experience for listeners as they become jurors in a compelling debate.*Since the episode originally aired, Allan Baker has been serving as Global Head of Advisory and Energy Transition at Societe Generale.About this showWelcome to 2050 Investors your monthly guide to understanding the intricate connections between finance, globalisation, and ESG.Join host Kokou Agbo-Bloua, Head of Economics, Cross-Asset & Quant Research at Societe Generale, for an investigation of the economic and market megatrends shaping the present and future, and how these trends might influence our progress to meeting 2050's challenging global sustainability targets.In each episode, Kokou deep dives into the events impacting the economy, financial markets, the planet, and society.

"We realized early on with our digital transformation that really what we're trying to do is digitize processes and …we really want to transform. But the people that own these business processes are stakeholders, they're in sales, they're in operations, they're in HR, finance, supply chain, so we needed them before we could get started on digitally architecting a solution. So… we take a senior leader from a function and ops or a business unit and ask them to be the business process leader…. and we match you to an IT leader who's also quite senior. So these are VP SVP roles and they're the power couple. So we ask the domain leader on the stakeholder or business side, you define the what and the why, so what is it that you need and why? That's the value part of it….They're a partnership."" Elizabeth Hackenson on Electric Ladies Podcast How do you manage business systems in the middle of an industrial-technology revolution when those very systems are transforming too? They also use massive amounts of energy, water and are made from things like critical minerals, steel, aluminum wires, computer chips, et cetera that are all complicated by climate and energy crises. Listen to Elizabeth Hackenson, Chief Information Officer of Schneider Electric explain how this massive global technology leader transforms itself while helping clients do the same in this fascinating discussion with Electric Ladies host Joan Michelson.  You'll hear about: How what a Chief Information Officer's portfolio really is and how they manage it 24/7 across the globe How they are leveraging and managing AI, as well as data centers. How their "power couples" have become a valuable structure for ground up systems transformation with the end user in mind. How they reduce their carbon footprint while helping clients do the same and maintain excellence. Plus, insightful career advice, such as… "First you have to find a company that is interesting to you and what you want to do. And then to me, it's always about focus on delivering what you've been asked to and what you can do. And then opportunity, in my view, opens up. Now sometimes it's at the company you're at and other times it's not. And that's okay…When you're at that 15-year mark, you should have by then figured out what you like, what your interests are and where you want to go next. And you've got to take control of your destiny. And again, I think getting to a company that you believe in, you have the same values, can give you that pathway to whatever it is you're looking for is where to start and then deliver."

Send us Fan MailTrump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a commonly used criticism towards anyone who doesn't agree with Trump's agenda, but looking at what he's doing right now, should TDS be targeted at those still fully aligned with him? Because right now, Asia is suffering immensely due to the war in Iran, we've heard rumblings Trump was looking for the nuclear codes (unproven but not unbelievable), and the WSJ reported he had such a mighty tantrum he was locked out of his own war room. Times are tense for everyone everywhere, and added to this are the escalating warnings of a Godzilla El Niño, we saw New Zealand hammered by extraordinary floods, the UK is in mayhem about Mandelson (again), the ‘Rape Academy' made front page news, the Druzbha oil pipeline is open again for business, the 90 billion Euro aid package for Ukraine is back on track, the AI backlash is growing, and the Nerd Reich is openly telling the world their intentions, with Palantir publishing a 22-point manifesto. Because everything is so incredibly intense, we wanted to bring in a special guest who can help us with the mental and emotional load, answering the question – can resilience be learned? Apparently, it can, and we are delighted to welcome Dr Jane Tuomola, a highly experienced executive and team coach who integrates her clinical psychology experience with her work as a coach. She believes that a deep understanding of psychology is key to meaningful behavioural change, finding purpose, and creating lasting impact. Originally from the UK, Jane began her career as a clinical psychologist before relocating to Asia, and today, she serves as a trainer, coaching supervisor, and mentor coach for three globally accredited coaching schools. Come and join us as we disentangle the complexity of this time, and with Jane, develop our resilience muscles while we're doing it.

As our lives become increasingly digital, the infrastructure powering them is sparking a global debate: we need data centres, but at what cost to the climate and our access to energy? These massive facilities are the backbone of everything from streaming to AI, yet they consume staggering amounts of electricity and water, often straining local grids and and in some cases, threatening to derail decarbonisation efforts.In this episode of Cities 1.5, we explore how Ireland became the "canary in the coalmine" for this issue. With data centres projected to consume nearly 30% of the nation's electricity by 2030, the Irish experience serves as a critical warning – and a roadmap – for cities worldwide. We examine the tension between economic ambition and climate mandates, questioning how urban leaders can manage the rapid expansion of digital infrastructure without derailing net-zero goals. Join us as we dive into the lessons learned from the frontlines of the data centre boom and what they mean for the future of sustainable cities.Featured guest: Professor Hannah Daly, Professor of Sustainable Energy at University College CorkLinks:Ireland's data centre boom is driving up fossil fuel dependence - The Irish Times, by Professor Hannah DalyData Centres Metered Electricity Consumption 2024 - Central Statistics OfficeEnergy for who?

The fuel crisis due to the war in Iran, as well as blockades from the national fuel protests, has shown our reliance on these forms of energy. Is the answer to all of this a pivot to greater reliance on renewable energy? How would it work?Hannah Daly, Professor in Sustainable Energy in UCC joins Seán to discuss.

Auf Grundlage der EU-Gebäuderichtlinie (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive – EPBD) treten ab Ende Mai 2026 neue Vorgaben für Energieausweise von Gebäuden in Kraft. Welche Neuerungen damit einhergehen und was diese für Errichter, Verkäufer:innen und Vermieter:innen von Immobilien bedeuten, besprechen Frau Dr. Susanne Geissler vom Institute for Sustainable Energy and Resources Availability und Theresa Weiglhofer-Troy vom Linde Verlag.

A new alliance has formed to oppose the proposed LNG facility including groups like Master Electricians, Consumer New Zealand, and the Sustainable Energy Alliance. Smart Energy Alliance spokesperson Gareth Williams told Heather du Plessis-Allan, "our view is that it's very short-sighted, that it doesn't really address the real challenges that New Zealand's electricity system faces."

Send us Fan MailThe pressure keeps ramping up, and this week was like no other, with a potty-mouthed Potus threatening to destroy an entire civilization. While the media and experts try to determine what he meant by this statement – a war crime in its own right (not the act, just saying the words) - the only way a civilization the size of Iran could be destroyed is by going nuclear. Did we really get so close this week? Well, in this day and age, none of us can feel confident it won't happen, but boy, it wouldn't be very smart, would it? Of course, the markets rose and fell, the price of fossil fuels too, and almost immediately, the ceasefire was over, because Israel decided to carry out its largest bombing campaign of Lebanon straight after the announcement, so the Strait of Hormuz is “shut” once again. It makes you wonder if there is a way out of this mess that isn't utter destruction? Nothing is giving us any confidence yet. Of course, plenty of other news worth our attention, from a deep dive into Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI and whether he can be trusted, the US leaving NATO, JD Vance being JD Vance, recycled plastic is worth something at last, and oh, the US threatening the Catholic Church with the Avignon Papacy. Yep, things are weird, no doubt about it. To help us dig into this and more, we are delighted to welcome Andy Lopata. Andy is an internationally recognised authority on professional relationships, with more than 25 years of experience helping organisations and individuals unlock the commercial and cultural value of connection. The author of six books and co-host of The Connected Leadership Podcast, Andy is a regular contributor to Psychology Today and has written for Harvard Business Review. We're going to discuss Andy's professional advice on building professional relationships and networking, then translate that into how we can use it more broadly, as we all face deepening uncertainty.

Send us Fan Mail Hooley dooley, what a week! We started in the middle of a 48-hour countdown that seemed to have only one possible outcome – global Armageddon - but then there was a pause (a TACO moment?) with five more days to consider options. Not long after that we heard there were behind-the-scenes peace negotiations starting according to Trump, but the Iranians said it was fake news, all while the bombs kept dropping. No doubt, it has been one of the most intense weeks in living memory. So yes, we are going to talk about the war, it's fall-out and impacts across the world, as well as the confusion that seems to be emanating from even the greatest minds on the issue of what's next. We'll also discuss the latest state of the climate, including food shocks, extreme weather impacts, and other stories that have our attention, but importantly, for the first hour, we will be discussing how to cope in uncertain times. To help us do this, we are delighted to welcome Nick Jonsson, a man of many talents. He is an award-winning global speaker, HRD Corp Registered Trainer in Malaysia, bestselling author, as well as transformational master coach and facilitator.

Send us Fan MailThe only news story able to break through the cacophony of war is the global conversation happening off the back of Louis Theroux's documentary, Inside the Manosphere. Every possible view is on the table, and regardless of what that view is, a conversation has begun, which is always a good thing… maybe. Sometimes what begins as positive momentum can turn into backlash, something we saw following the #MeToo movement. We'll discuss this story and some wider manosphere perspectives, and of course, the war. It's not looking good, as escalation seems to be the only plan on the table, which is not going to end well. We'll discuss the various global ramifications happening, from fracturing alliances to what it means to us, as well as dig into the state of the global economy. Since the beginning of the war, economists said it wasn't going to happen, but this week we've learned oil increasing to $150-200 a barrel is now a much stronger possibility, which would cause economic calamity. We also had Jerome Powell, head of the US Federal Reserve, use the word “uncertain” seven times in his latest press briefing, and what he is uncertain about is alarming. Our information infrastructure is also under assault, from AI fakes about the war, to influencers calming nerves, but it's Britain's GB News in the spotlight – should it be renamed Reform TV? By the time we go live, a category five cyclone will have smashed into northern Queensland, and in the meantime, the expected Super El Niño could increase global temperatures by .3°C, which is HUGE, and gets us very close to the 2°C mark. It's just us this week and we certainly appreciate the intensity of this moment. We are witnessing the mental health impacts in real-time, and while we don't sugar coat the news, hopefully it helps seeing all the different threads together, so we can make some sense of it. That's always our goal. Come and join us this Friday, 20th March 2026, at 7am UK, 8am EU, 11am UAE, 2pm TH, 3pm SG, 6pm AEST.

Ever wanted a lower electrical bill during the summer or winter? Look no further than your friendly geothermal heat pump, that uses the ambient temperature of the Earth to heat or cool your home, office building, school, etc. It has often been overlooked in areas with hotter climates, regions where geothermal is primarily harvested for electricity or just for lack of knowledge behind the mechanics of deploying such a system.  Well, in today's episode, I talk with Yale Carden of GeoExchange Australia, about the 20 years of developing, deploying, partnering and overall sharing of knowledge that he and team have done.  GeoExchange Australia https://www.linkedin.com/company/geoexchange-australia/posts/?feedView=all Yale Carden https://www.linkedin.com/in/yalecarden/ CORE Knowledge https://www.linkedin.com/company/core-geothermal Nick Cestari  https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-cestari-48059268/

The Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI) and the Business Council for Sustainable Energy (BCSE) held a briefing on commonsense technologies and solutions to keep energy costs low and meet rising demand. The rapid growth in energy demand from data centers has raised energy affordability conversations in households across the country. And on Capitol Hill, energy affordability might be the major theme of energy policy discussions. This panel covered a broad portfolio of commercially-available technologies and resources—from energy efficiency to renewable energy to natural gas—that are essential to understand in order to ensure that the U.S. energy system can continue to grow and promote domestic prosperity, encourage innovation, and provide opportunities for economic development. The briefing shared new findings from the 2026 edition of the Sustainable Energy in America Factbook. The Factbook provides valuable year-over-year data and insights on the U.S. energy transformation. It examines trends in data centers and artificial intelligence along with the ways in which permitting and siting as well as federal appropriations impact the deployment of modern energy solutions. The report also features an in-depth look at key topics including demand-side energy resources, renewable energy, natural gas, energy storage, and sustainable transportation.

What if concrete could store energy that turned buildings, roads, and infrastructure into massive power banks? In this episode, we're joined by Damian Stefaniuk, Research Scientist at MIT's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, the Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSHub), and the Electron-Conductive Cement-based Materials Hub (EC³ Hub). Damian's research explores how concrete can be engineered to conduct electricity and store energy at up to 10x the capacity of traditional materials — while simultaneously reducing the carbon footprint of cement production… Damian is a structural and materials engineering scientist who specializes in the development of sustainable construction materials and structures. His research focuses on science-enabled engineering of cement-based materials, with applications ranging from corrosion-resistant prestressed bridges and carbon-storing pre-cure carbonation to electron-conductive carbon concrete for renewable energy storage.   Dive in now to discover: How concrete can be made into a conductive material. Carbon-based conductive cement and nanomaterials. Infrastructure's role in clean energy and emissions reduction. You can follow along with Damian and his work here!

What if the future of clean energy isn't decided in Washington, Brussels, or Beijing, but in Lagos, Nairobi, and Addis Ababa? Are we underestimating how fast the Global South is leapfrogging fossil fuels? And what happens when clean energy becomes the cheapest, fastest path to development, not a climate sacrifice?In this episode of Cleaning Up, Michael Liebreich is joined for a third time by Damilola Ogunbiyi, CEO and UN Special Representative for Sustainable Energy for All and Co-Chair of UN Energy. Together, they explore how Africa and the wider Global South are quietly reshaping the global energy transition, from rapid growth in solar, storage, mini-grids, and EVs to bold policy moves that many developed economies haven't dared to make.They dive into why energy access is about dignity, health, and gender equality; why finance, not technology, is the real bottleneck; and how local capital, data, and innovation could determine whether “Most of World” powers its future with clean energy or fossil fuels.Leadership Circle:Cleaning Up is supported by the Leadership Circle, and its founding members: Actis, Alcazar Energy, Davidson Kempner, EcoPragma Capital, EDP, Eurelectric, the Gilardini Foundation, KKR, National Grid, Octopus Energy, Quadrature Climate Foundation, Schneider Electric, SDCL and Wärtsilä.

This has been a crucial year for US energy policy. The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act eliminated many of the clean energy incentives that were centerpieces of Biden-era climate policy.  The rollback of key climate provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act led to contentious debate over America's energy future. With so many shifting priorities and questions around the direction and the pace of the energy transition, it's unclear what 2026 will bring. So how are policymakers facing these challenges and working to accelerate clean energy deployment in a shifting political environment? What does pragmatic energy policy look like in an era of deep partisanship? And what should the policy response be to rising electricity demand and costs in the United States? Today on the show, we're revisiting a conversation that Jason Bordoff had back in September with Illinois Congressman Sean Casten. They discussed the state of clean energy deployment in the US. Congressman Casten represents Chicago's western suburbs and serves on both the House Financial Services Committee and the Joint Economic Committee. He's also vice chair of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition. Before entering Congress, Rep. Casten was a clean energy entrepreneur and consultant, serving as CEO of Turbosteam Corporation and as founding chairman of the Northeast CHP Initiative.

Have a discussion about climate change in Ireland and almost certainly at some point someone will make the argument that what we do here is too small to matter...Is there a certain validity to that viewpoint?Hannah Daly is Professor of Sustainable Energy at UCC, and joins Seán to discuss.

The COP30 climate talks in Belem wrapped up over the weekend, and reactions to the outcome were sharply divided. Simon Stiell, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC, said “climate cooperation is still alive…we're undeniably still in it and we are fighting back.” Others said the COP had been another failure, with a final statement that amounted to “a form of climate denial”.To make sense of what really happened at COP30, and where the talks leave the global effort on climate change, host Ed Crooks is joined by three regular Energy Gang contributors who have been following the negotiations closely. Amy Harder is the national energy correspondent at the news service Axios, Lisa Jacobson is the president of the Business Council for Sustainable Energy, and Simon Evans is deputy editor of the website Carbon Brief. Together they discuss the arguments over COP30's statement on fossil fuels, the rise of climate adaptation as a key priority, and hopes for increasing flows of capital to lower-income countries.A pledge to triple adaptation finance for developing countries by 2035 is attracting a lot of scrutiny. Lower-income countries are pushing for clear plans for delivery, not just vague aspirations. What could those plans look like? Another key issue is China's complicated role in the energy transition. It is leading the way in manufacturing and deploying low-carbon energy technologies. But it is still adding coal-fired generation capacity at a rapid pace. Does it make sense to see China as a climate leader?It is a complex picture. The world is still off track for the Paris Agreement's climate goals, even after the latest round of country pledges on emissions, known as Nationally Determined Contributions. But solar, wind and storage are still on declining cost trends, and are making significant progress in many countries.Finally, Ed speaks with Gianpiero Nacci, who's Managing Director for Climate Strategy and Delivery at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, for a focused discussion on climate finance. Gianpiero explains why multilateral development banks such as the EBRD are being asked to do more, what makes adaptation harder to fund than mitigation, and what the new COP30 to COP31 roadmap means for climate finance, as focus shifts to next year's meeting, which will be held in Turkey a year from now.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Teague Egan faced every founder's nightmare: payroll was due, and a massive investment deal with General Motors was stalled. With his back against the wall, Teague sold his house for $2 million and wired the cash to his company just to stay alive. That "all-in" gamble paid off, securing the partnership and positioning EnergyX to revolutionize the global energy transition.It all started on a Bolivian salt flat, where a chance comment sparked an obsession with lithium. In this interview, Teague sits down with Ryan Atkinson to reveal how he went from a tourist to a founder partnering with industry titans. He breaks down the crucial pivot EnergyX made when their initial licensing model hit a wall, proving that agility is just as important as innovation.You'll learn the grit required to survive the "valley of death" in startup funding and how to execute cold outreach strategies that land billion-dollar partners. We also dive into high-stakes risk management and the mindset needed for enterperenurs to set bold visions. Whether you are raising capital or scaling a business, Teague's story offers a masterclass in resilience.Takeaways:- Teague sold his own house for $2 million and wired the funds to the company to cover payroll and bridge the gap while waiting for the General Motors investment to close.- Great business ideas often come from stepping outside your bubble, as Teague's "aha moment" happened while traveling on a salt flat tour in Bolivia, not in a boardroom.- You do not need prior industry experience to start; Teague entered the lithium space with zero knowledge but bridged the gap through obsessive reading and research.- Networking is often a chain reaction where one contact leads to another, so you must be willing to send cold emails and attend conferences just to meet a single person.- Entrepreneurs must be agile enough to pivot their entire business model if the market resists, just as EnergyX switched from licensing technology to vertical integration when resource owners were too slow to adopt their tech.- The stress of entrepreneurship remains constant regardless of the dollar amount; whether the risk is $50,000 or $50 million, the only way to manage the anxiety is to focus on the daily work you can control.- Securing strategic partnerships with established giants like General Motors provides not only capital but also the institutional credibility needed to scale industrial technology.- Founders should set "unrealistic" and massive visions because bold goals are more effective at rallying employees and investors than modest, safe targets.- Timing can dictate your business model; if your technology is too early for the market to trust, you may have to build the infrastructure yourself to prove it works.- You must be the most confident person in the room regarding your execution, as investors and partners rely entirely on your belief to validate their own risk.Tags: Startup, Entrepreneurship, Business Strategy, EnergyX, Teague Egan, Sustainable Energy, Business ScalingResources:Grow your business today: https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Connect with Teague: https://www.instagram.com/teagueegan/?hl=en

COP30, which began this week in Belém, Brazil, marks a decade since the Paris Agreement was adopted at COP21 in 2015. It's being billed as the “implementation COP”: instead of grand new announcements of international agreements, governments are supposed to be focused on delivering on the commitments they have already made. Host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe welcome back Amy Harder, National Energy Correspondent at Axios. She says not every COP is created equally, and “this is definitely one of those COPs that are more of an ebb than a flow.”But that said, it doesn't mean COP30 will inevitably be unproductive. Amy Myers Jaffe, who is the Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, argues that COP30 “could wind up over time being seen as a more successful meeting than people are currently thinking it will be.”Instead of a new comprehensive global framework, the objectives for this year's talks will be a series of smaller-scale sectoral initiatives: scaling sustainable fuels, tackling industrial emissions, protecting forests, and aligning private capital with policy goals. The Energy Gang also welcomes to the show for the first time Lisa Jacobson, who is President of the Business Council for Sustainable Energy. She joins the show from Brazil to give the boots on the ground view as the conference begins. Previous COPs have generally put the mosh emphasis on government action. Lisa says that a focus on what's good for business might be a better way to spur change. Clean energy technologies are winning in many markets around the world because they make commercial sense. Policy can be helpful, but is it ultimately the business case that has to be what pushes the energy transition forward? Ed, Amy, Amy and Lisa debate the changes to US energy and climate policy, China's emissions trajectory, the global impact of EU measures, and how much of the clean energy build-out is now driven by economics rather than politics. And they wonder whether there is a central paradox in global climate policy. If the future of energy will be decided by market forces and national interests, not by anything that happens at COP30, is that a sign that the series of past COPs has been a success? We've got more coverage of COP30 coming soon, so make sure you're following us for all the key news and insight from Brazil.

Following the rollback of key climate provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act, the debate over America's energy future is increasingly contentious. The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has eliminated, or at least cobbled, many of the clean energy incentives that were centerpieces of Biden-era climate policy.  This week, climate policymakers, business leaders, investors, and advocates are converging in New York City for Climate Week. With so much happening and many questions around the pace of the energy transition, it's a crucial moment in US energy policy. So how are policymakers facing these challenges and working to accelerate clean energy deployment in a shifting political environment? What does pragmatic energy policy look like in an era of deep partisanship? And what should the policy response be to rising electricity demand in the US? This week, Jason Bordoff speaks to Congressman Sean Casten about the current state of clean energy deployment in the US. Congressman Casten represents Illinois's 6th congressional district and serves on both the House Financial Services Committee and the Joint Economic Committee. He's also vice chair of the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition. Before entering Congress, Rep. Casten was a clean energy entrepreneur and consultant, serving as CEO of Turbo Steam Corporation and as founding chairman of the Northeast CHP Initiative.

Send me a messageIn this week's replay episode of the Climate Confident Podcast, I bring back one of my favourite conversations from earlier this year - my discussion with Jarand Rystad, founder and CEO of Rystad Energy, about the global energy transition and whether we're truly moving fast enough to meet climate targets.Jarand makes a compelling case that the shift to renewables isn't just about climate, it's driven by the simple economics of cheaper, better technologies. Solar, wind, and batteries are already beating fossil fuels on cost, and countries like China are proving just how fast this transition can accelerate. In fact, they've already hit their 2030 renewable targets six years early, while the US risks ceding leadership in the technologies of the future.We explore the three pillars of decarbonisation - clean electricity, widespread electrification, and tackling the “last 20%” of hard-to-abate emissions through hydrogen, CCS, and sustainable fuels. Jarand also dives into the overlooked challenges: from aviation's limited options to land-use pressures, long-duration storage, and the politics that can either speed us up or hold us back.One of my favourite takeaways? The transition isn't a question of if, but how fast. Policy choices, investment in disruptive technologies, and global competition will decide whether we land closer to 2°C or push down towards 1.5°C of warming.If you missed this episode the first time round, now's the time to catch up.
