Hydrogen and Carbon Capture Technology (Ep #3)

Fast & Fair, The Climate Transition

As the buzz around green hydrogen gathers steam, Andreas Gunst, Partner at DLA Piper, joins Lee Beck (Clean Air Task Force) to discuss its potential as a clean and renewable energy source, the latest developments in carbon capture, utilisation and storage technology, and the ways in which government and business must collaborate to accelerate the transition to a decarbonised energy sector.

Climate Litigation (Ep #2)

Fast & Fair, The Climate Transition

Increasingly the climate lobby is moving from the streets to the courtroom - but how can climate litigation accelerate government policies for a zero emissions future?

Just Transition & Human Rights (Ep #1)

In this episode, Paul van Zyl is joined by Yasmine Ahmed, UK Director of Human Rights Watch, and Tishiko King, a Torres Strait Islander and campaigner, to delve into these vital questions. They discuss what governments should be doing to protect the rights of at-risk populations, the Torres Strait islands ground-breaking court case against the Australian government, and why having a clean, healthy and sustainable environment is a human right

The Mainstreaming of Activism (Ep #6)

Ahead of the Curve

Are we, the average citizen, the most powerful trigger of tipping points? With the public fast acknowledging that climate change is a grave and imminent threat, can this awareness coupled with activism trigger rapid changes in government policy and to markets to the benefit of people and planet? 19-year-old Jerome Foster II is an environmental activist, voting rights advocate, and emerging technology engineer. He sits on President Biden’s White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council and joins Paul van Zyl to talk about social justice, environmental justice, and creating movements.

Ahead of the Curve

As finance starts to move towards clean solutions, the cost of capital will decrease. Are financial institutions being consistent in what they say and what they do?

Katherine Stodulka (Partner, Sustainable Finance for SYSTEMIQ and Director, Blended Finance Taskforce) and Anne Simpson (Managing Investment Director, Board Governance and Sustainability CalPERS) speak on boardroom leadership, walking the talk, and the flow of investment to emerging markets in this episode of ‘Ahead of the Curve’.
