info_outlineIn this compelling episode of the Climate Correction Podcast, we sit down with Nathaniel Keohane, President of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), to explore the current state of the climate crisis and the opportunities that lie ahead.
Nat kicks off by addressing the alarming climate records set over the past 18 months, from unprecedented global temperature increases to devastating weather events like hurricanes Helene and Milton, as well as wildfires causing smoky skies across the Northeast. He paints a sobering picture of the impacts we’re already experiencing and the urgency for immediate action.
Despite political challenges, Nat offers a hopeful perspective, highlighting the growing momentum behind clean energy. He shares insights into the economic benefits of clean energy tax credits, the importance of streamlining permitting processes for renewable infrastructure, and the critical alignment of trade policies with climate goals.
Fresh from COP29 in Baku, Nat reflects on the optimistic energy at the conference, fueled by businesses embracing the low-carbon transition. However, he also explores the challenges posed by the potential U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and what that could mean for international climate collaboration.
Nat also unpacks the transformative potential of voluntary carbon markets. He discusses how these markets can mobilize climate finance, ensure the integrity of carbon credits, and support corporate climate commitments, especially in addressing Scope 3 emissions and deforestation.
Finally, Nat emphasizes the importance of building resilience to climate impacts, sharing examples of what companies are doing to protect their communities and adapt to a rapidly changing environment.
Whether you’re a climate advocate, policy enthusiast, or just curious about where we stand in the fight against climate change, this episode is packed with expert insights and actionable hope for a sustainable future.
