CERAWeek sneak peek: What’s ahead for energy and sustainability
How do you balance near-term energy priorities with the long-term reality of climate change and nature loss? That’s the big sustainability question we’re asking in 2026, and in today’s episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we sit down with Daniel Yergin to explore the answer. Daniel is a Pulitzer Prize winner, S&P Global Vice Chairman, and Chair of CERAWeek, the annual S&P Global conference that has been described as “the Davos of energy.” Daniel tells us what to expect when leaders from the public and private sectors convene in Houston, Texas March 23-27 for CERAWeek 2026. This year’s theme is Convergence and Competition: Energy, Technology and Geopolitics, and the conference will focus on many of the key issues we’re watching through a sustainability lens this year, including AI, electrification, climate and critical minerals. Daniel explains how geopolitical fracture and economic competition are reshaping the landscape for all these topics. “What we're seeing is the fragmentation, the end of the kind of globalization that we've known for the last three and a half decades,” Daniel says. “How are people arranging their priorities when the agenda is more complex?” Read Read Read Learn more about Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global DISCLAIMER By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.

CSO Insights: How tire giant Michelin manages sustainability across a global supply chain
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we explore how one of the world's largest tire manufacturers is working to balance profitability with sustainability across a global supply chain. We talk with Antoine Sautenet, Chief Sustainability Officer at France-based Michelin Group, who outlines company strategies that prioritize climate, biodiversity, social equity and circularity alongside profit. "Today it's very difficult to translate the sustainability performance into the price of our product," Antoine tells us. "So one of our challenges is to make that balance between profit and planet in order to be able to promote the right value of our product compared to our competitors." Antoine describes how Michelin is increasing the use of recycled and renewable materials in its tires to reduce the company’s reliance on fossil fuels and other resources. And he outlines how the company works with the many smallholder farms that produce rubber for its tires to drive sustainable agriculture practices. This interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we interview Chief Sustainability Officers around the world about how they’re navigating the changing sustainability landscape.

What an aging population means for the global economy

What an aging population means for the global economy
In this week’s episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we’re exploring how aging global populations are impacting retirement, the workforce and the economy. We talk to Pat Tomlinson, President and CEO of global consulting firm Mercer, a Marsh McLennan business. Pat took the reins in 2024 and brings both global perspective and hands-on experience from the World Economic Forum’s Longevity Economy Initiative, which aims to address the demographic and financial challenges of aging societies. “Having fewer workers as people age and … a lower birth rate will impact employers and will impact business and will impact society as we think about how to grow GDP,” Pat says. Pat explains how retirement savings and healthcare systems need to evolve to meet the needs of the aging global population. And he outlines creative solutions that employers and governments are considering to address these challenges — including through public-private collaboration, AI, reskilling workers and flexible working arrangements.

CSO Insights: How climate adaptation is hitting the mainstream for Midde East banks
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we’re talking to Vijay Bains, Chief Sustainability Officer and Group Head of Environmental, Social and Governance at Dubai-based Emirates NBD, one of the largest banks in the Middle East. Vijay says the region and its banking sector are "doubling down on sustainability as a growth driver.” He explains the growing focus on water in particular, and how this will influence sustainable finance trends. "We're going to see a lot more blue finance,” Vijay tells us. "It's a really material topic due to the water stress within the region.” In the face of climate change, the bank is also financing adaptation projects. “Adaptation for us is now hitting the mainstream,” Vijay says. This interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we interview Chief Sustainability Officers around the world about how they’re navigating the changing sustainability landscape.

Top 2026 sustainability trends: What leaders need to know
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we explore the geopolitical and macroeconomic issues impacting sustainability, energy and climate strategies in 2026. We speak to Carlos Pascual, Senior Vice President and Head of Geopolitics and International Affairs at S&P Global Energy and a former US Ambassador to Mexico and Ukraine. Carlos describes a fragmented geopolitical landscape marked by significant uncertainty about the direction of global climate policy, action and finance — leaving progress largely in the hands of the private sector. "We have huge changes ahead and look for the private sector to have to play a much more central role in the overall momentum on clean technology and investments in renewable energy," Carlos says. We speak to S&P Global Ratings Global Chief Economist Paul Gruenwald to understand the macroeconomic factors influencing sustainability. Paul says AI is the dominant story for 2026. “We're seeing great numbers out of data center and AI-related investment, but almost everything else is flat,” Paul tells us. To understand the outlook for climate change and the growing importance of adaptation alongside mitigation efforts, we speak to Dr. Terence Thompson, Chief Science Officer at the S&P Global Climate Center of Excellence. He explains how advances in climate science are helping to better understand the probability of climate hazards. “Getting at that probability is really key to making those kinds of very practical decisions about how do we allocate limited resources to cope with climate change and adapt to it,” Terence says. And to understand the outlook for the energy transition, we speak to Roman Kramarchuk, Head of Integrated Narratives and Policy Analytics at S&P Global Energy. Roman explains how the world is balancing growing energy demands with sustainability priorities in an increasingly fractured global landscape. “There's a big regional story here, and this is a regional story that plays out both in the technology, in the supply chains, and in the geopolitical side,” Roman says.

Why private markets data is key to managing supply chain risk

Why private markets data is key to managing supply chain risk
In this episode of All Things Sustainable, we’re exploring the role that private markets play in global supply chains. We speak to Alex Friedman, Co-Founder and CEO of Novata, a sustainability data management platform for the private markets that partners with S&P Global. In the interview, Alex explains the significance of small and medium-sized private companies in global supply chains — and why high-quality private markets data is important for understanding supply chain risks. “Big public companies have been the ones that have been in the focus when it comes to sustainability,” Alex says. "Yet a big public company can't figure out its overall sustainability footprint and how to improve things if they can't get their arms around their supply chain.” We also explore how private markets will evolve in 2026 in the face of advances in AI technology and a fragmented regulatory landscape. “It's a multispeed story at the regulatory level,” Alex says. "But big companies ... they work in so many jurisdictions that they have to collect information when it comes to sustainability. They have to make sense of it and you have to report on it. So that's not changing.” S&P Global is part of the consortium of organizations that supported Novata upon its launch in 2021.

The role of carbon markets in protecting and restoring nature

The role of carbon markets in protecting and restoring nature
In this week’s episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we bring you coverage of S&P Global Energy’s Global Carbon Markets Conference, which took place in Barcelona, Spain in December 2025. Nature was a major theme at the event, and topics of discussion included how carbon markets can be a driver of investment in nature and how new data tools can encourage investment in nature-related carbon projects. In this episode, we sit down on the sidelines of the conference with Cain Blythe, Founder and CEO of CreditNature, a company working to make nature restoration investable. "We've realized that what we used to do isn't fit for finance," Cain says. "So we developed a system that allows us to collect data in a standardized way ... that can be applied across multiple geographies and that can be cost effective at scale.” We also talk with Douglas Eger, Chairman and CEO of Intrinsic Exchange Group, who explains a model his company created for nature-based investments called a natural asset company (NAC). Capital invested in a NAC finances conservation, restoration, natural infrastructure and nature-based solutions. "We think that engaging the private markets in an instrument that can scale, that gives the potential for a market rate of return, is what’s missing from the market,” Douglas tells us.

How trade mechanisms, AI and innovation will influence global carbon markets in 2026
We kick off the 8th season of the All Things Sustainable podcast by diving into the outlook for carbon markets. For the first episode of the new season we sit down with several guests on the sidelines of the S&P Global Energy Global Carbon Markets Conference, which took place in Barcelona in December 2025. We hear how the latest regulatory developments are expected to boost demand in 2026. We learn about the impact of innovation and AI on the market’s development. And we hear how carbon markets can act as a tool for companies in developing their decarbonization strategies.

How Earthshot Prize winner Coral Vita tackles reef restoration
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast we dive into one of the world’s most diverse and valuable ecosystems: Coral reefs. To learn about the benefits of this ecosystem and the risks associated with losing it, we sit down with Sam Teicher, Co-Founder & Chief Reef Officer at reef restoration company Coral Vita. Reefs “take up less than 1% of the seafloor while sustaining 25% of marine life, the livelihoods of about 1 billion people in 100 countries and territories. And now, conservatively, they generate $2.7 trillion a year,” Sam says. Healthy reefs also protect shorelines from flooding and storms, and they can help treat a variety of diseases. In the episode, Sam explains how Coral Vita is working to restore reefs that are dying due to climate change, pollution and overfishing. “Restoration is not a silver bullet, but it's also a critical tool in order to keep reefs alive for future generations,” Sam says. "Just like we can grow and plant trees for reforestation, we can grow and plant corals for reef restoration.” In 2021, Coral Vita won the inaugural Earthshot Prize in the “Revive our Oceans” category. Prince William of Wales launched the prize to find and scale innovative solutions to the world’s biggest environmental challenges.

How tech is evolving to solve sustainability challenges
On the All Things Sustainable podcast, we talk a lot about challenges like climate change, the energy transition and sustainable supply chain management. In today’s episode, we’re focusing on solutions. We sit down with three guests to unpack how their companies use technology to address key sustainability challenges. We talk to Rajiv Bazaj, Vice President of Energy & Sustainability Solutions at Constellation Energy Corporation, an independent power producer and the largest clean energy provider in the US. He explains how Constellation uses technology to address growing energy demand. This includes making better use of current generation and longer-term solutions like small modular nuclear reactors and fusion. We talk with Christoph Gebald, Founder and CEO of carbon removal company Climeworks. He explains how technology advances are leading to breakthroughs in carbon removal — and why this is a critical solution to address climate change. And we speak to Jonathan Horn, Founder and CEO of Treefera, a London-based startup that provides clients with insight into their supply chains. He points to the big developments in AI and satellite technology that are enabling more granular insight into supply chains. “I think of it as monitoring everything, everywhere, all at once,” Jonathan says. “Not just because it's a good thing to do from a nature point of view, but because it's an essential bottom line C-suite problem.” We sat down with today's guests on the sidelines of the Nest Climate Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast was an official media partner during Climate Week NYC.

CSO Insights: Why water is a rising focus in AI, climate and nature conversations
We kick off this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast with key takeaways from COP30, the annual UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties that ended last week in Belém, Brazil. You can listen to our previous . Today’s episode features Emilio Tenuta, the Chief Sustainability Officer at Ecolab, a provider of water, hygiene and infection prevention solutions to businesses around the world. In the interview, Emilio explains the rising focus on water in conversations about climate and nature. “The climate crisis is really about a water crisis: The way we're going to experience climate is through extreme weather events and droughts, floods and a number of other activities that impact our businesses,” Emilio says. “But it's also about water being an enabler to drive your business performance and impact.” Emilio explains how AI can help companies understand future water risks. “Up to now, we've been looking in a rearview mirror on what water stress really means,” he says. "Now we're trying to embed AI so we can look predictively.” This interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we interview Chief Sustainability Officers around the world and across industries about how they’re navigating the changing sustainability landscape.

CSO Insights: Why consumer goods giant P&G wants to reinvent the business case for sustainability
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're talking to Procter & Gamble’s Chief Sustainability Officer, Virginie Helias. The global consumer goods giant has a market capitalization of more than $343 billion and its products include household staples like laundry detergent, diapers, toothpaste and shampoo. Virginie explains how P&G is navigating sustainability challenges, including cutting emissions in its supply chain, current economic and geopolitical headwinds, and changing customer behavior.

CSO Insights: How auto giant General Motors is driving EV adoption
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're talking to Cassandra Garber, Chief Sustainability Officer of General Motors, one of the world's largest car companies. The interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we interview CSOs around the world about how they’re navigating the changing sustainability landscape. The sustainability space has been through enormous transformation in recent years and CSOs have a front-row seat to this evolution. Transportation is considered one of the hard-to-abate sectors because most forms of transportation burn fossil fuels for energy. In the episode, Cassandra outlines GM’s commitment to a zero-emissions, all-electric future and how the company is breaking down barriers to electric vehicle adoption — what she calls the “three Cs” of cost, charging infrastructure, and the perception that EVs are complicated. “Reducing those tailpipe emissions and focusing on EV adoption makes our business strategy and sustainability strategy incredibly aligned,” Cassandra says. "That is by far what we're focused on the most: How are we breaking down the barriers to EV adoption because it's good for business and society.” This interview took place on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast was an official media partner during Climate Week NYC 2025.

What to expect from COP30

What to expect from COP30
The United Nations convenes its Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Belém, Brazil Nov. 10-21, and in this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast we’re covering what to expect from COP30. This annual UN summit convenes world leaders to work together on solutions to tackle climate change, and COP30 is known as the "Implementation COP,” which means a focus on turning climate commitments into action. To learn more, we sit down on the sidelines of the PRI in Person conference in São Paulo, Brazil, this week with Marcos Neto. Marcos is Assistant Secretary General at the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and Director of UNDP’s Bureau of Policy and Programme Support. Marcos explains the big themes he’s watching heading into COP30 — including the rising focus on adaptation and resilience; the evolving role of insurance in climate conversations; financing needs; and the climate-nature nexus. He also discusses UNDP’s work to help countries develop their Nationally Determined Contributions, which are countries’ plans for achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement that are updated every five years. Marcos grew up in Belém, and he says his hometown exemplifies the need to strike a balance between climate goals and economic development. “Belém is a great symbol of that — because there is poverty, because there are Indigenous peoples, because there are forests ... agriculture, cattle ranchers,” he says. “We need to figure out a way to live with all those aspects.” Listen to our podcast interview with Marcos during last year’s COP29 conference here: Read more from S&P Global about what to expect from COP30: Read our latest Road to COP report on the Platts Connect platform (requires log-in): Learn about the taking place in Barcelona shortly after COP30.

Why climate adaptation and resilience are taking center stage
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we explore why adaptation and resilience are taking center stage in climate conversations ahead of COP30, the UN's upcoming climate change conference. We talk to Jeff Gitterman, CEO of Gitterman Asset Management and partner at Gitterman Wealth Management. He explains why adaptation was a big focus during Climate Week NYC in 2025, and where he sees future opportunities to invest in resilience and sustainable infrastructure. “Every room I was in, everywhere I went around the city, there was a focus around adaptation and resilience like I've never seen before,” Jeff tells us. We also sit down with Alan Brookes, the Chairman and CEO of sustainable design, engineering and consulting firm Arcadis. He explains how the firm’s projects worldwide build resilience to climate change while also accounting for the needs of communities and incorporating nature-based solutions — for example, building parks that also provide flood and storm protection. “Cities need to be more innovative in their approaches,” Alan says. “Otherwise, you're just going to build walls around every city, which is not what people want to see.” We conducted these interviews during Climate Week NYC at The Nest Climate Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast was an official media partner.

How China and India are navigating the energy transition amid shifting geopolitics

How China and India are navigating the energy transition amid shifting geopolitics
This episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast explores the rapidly changing global landscape for the energy transition and how factors like geopolitical tensions, AI and government policies are driving change ahead of COP30, the UN's upcoming Climate Change Conference of the parties. We examine these dynamics through the lens of the world's two most populous countries: India and China. We talk with Carlos Pascual, Senior Vice President and Head of Geopolitics and International Affairs at S&P Global Commodity Insights and a former US Ambassador to Mexico and Ukraine. He outlines the complexities of US-China relations, including the competition for technological dominance and energy resources. "In many ways, China has developed a degree of technology expertise that is having an impact on this relationship in ways that have not been expected," Carlos says. To understand how India is navigating these dynamics, we talk with Vaishali Nigam Sinha, Co-Founder and Chairperson of Sustainability at ReNew, a decarbonization solutions company deploying renewables and other low-carbon technologies in India. She highlights the importance of international collaboration for accessing technology, critical minerals and financing for renewable projects. "This clean energy transition is not about individual countries," Vaishali says. "It's about what all of us can do together.” Vaishali also emphasizes the importance of engaging local communities in the energy transition to ensure that they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to participate.

Why all eyes are on insurance in climate risk conversations
10/17/2025
Why all eyes are on insurance in climate risk conversations
One of our key takeaways from Climate Week NYC in 2025 was that the insurance industry is taking a more central role in conversations about climate risk. As climate change causes more frequent and severe extreme weather events, some insurers are increasing premiums or pulling out of certain regions, with implications for policy and the financial markets. To learn more about the changing landscape for insurance, we sat down on the sidelines of Climate Week NYC with Martin Powell, Group Sustainability Director at global insurance and asset management group AXA. “A 2-degree world is still insurable, but it's going to be unaffordable for many, many people,” Martin says. "As we head towards that sort of temperature increase, our job is to try and predict and assess what that's going to mean for society in five years' time and do what we can today to reduce those impacts.” The urgency is growing to adopt new strategies and practices to assess these climate-related risks, and we heard at Climate Week NYC why this is particularly true in the US homeowners insurance market. Heather Zichal, the Global Head of Sustainability at JPMorganChase, says the future of homeowners insurance is “very much front and center” for the largest bank in the US. "Whether you're worried in the state of Florida about sea-level rise, or you are in California and you're worried about wildfires, there's a very healthy recognition that we are going to collectively need new products, services, and policies to help meet that moment,” Heather says. We also speak to Kingsley Greenland, Head of Strategic Partnerships and Corporate Development at Verisk, a company that works with the global insurance industry to provide data and analytics. He points to the difference between big banks and their smaller peers when it comes to assessing climate risk. "The largest banks...in a way, they also have the least risk because they're globally diversified and can take the hit,” he says. “It seems to me like it's these really small banks, your credit unions, your small community bankers that retain a lot of this risk and don't have now — nor can we expect them to — really have this full suite of climate risk analytics in their portfolio that would trickle down to their investment decisions.” Read S&P Global’s key takeaways from Climate Week NYC: Read an S&P Global Market Intelligence analysis of US insurance rate and rule product filings: Listen to the full interview with Heather Zichal: Learn more about S&P Global Sustainable1's .

Out of this world: Spire Global CEO talks sustainability in space

Out of this world: Spire Global CEO talks sustainability in space
It’s World Space Week and in this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we’re looking at sustainability on the final frontier in an interview with Spire Global CEO Theresa Condor. Spire Global uses satellites the size of wine bottles to collect data in space that helps solve problems on Earth, ranging from climate to weather forecasting to global security. Theresa says use cases for the company’s technology are expanding rapidly as satellite technology advances “at an exponential pace.” "We're seeing something like 10x improvements in technology every five years,” she says. This rapid growth means the need for good governance and sustainability strategies is rising. Spire Global is a member of the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) and Theresa explains how the group is focused on sustainability in space through its Astra Carta initiative, which aims to shape a future of responsible and sustainable space exploration, development and cooperation. “People are trying to figure out what is the right level of regulation that continues to protect the space environment,” she says, while also allowing innovation to flourish. This episode is the latest in our Terra Carta Series of the All Things Sustainable podcast in collaboration with the SMI. The SMI is a network of over 250 global CEOs across finance and industry, including S&P Global. SMI facilitates private sector diplomacy with the ambition of making sustainability the driving force of global markets and value creation. Throughout 2025, we’re interviewing SMI member CEOs from around the world and across industries about how they’re approaching sustainability challenges and opportunities.

How the biggest bank in the US is approaching climate risk
Last week the All Things Sustainable podcast was on the ground in New York City bringing you daily episodes from Climate Week NYC. The week included more than 1,000 events and convened an estimated 100,000 attendees from the private sector, governments, nonprofits and the broader climate community. To understand how financial institutions are showing up in these climate conversations, we sat down with Heather Zichal. Heather is Global Head of Sustainability at the largest bank in the US, JPMorganChase, and she shares her Climate Week key takeaways. She explains why adaptation and resilience are a growing area of focus, and how this is impacting conversations around insurance. She talks about the rising role of AI in climate and energy transition discussions. And she tells us how the landscape for climate and sustainability is shifting heading into 2026. “There's a very healthy dose of pragmatism that has been layered into the conversations,” Heather tells us. This conversation took place at The Nest Climate Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast was an official media partner during Climate Week NYC.

The business case for nature conservation at Climate Week NYC

The business case for nature conservation at Climate Week NYC
At Climate Week NYC, we sit down on the sidelines with Daniela Raik, the newly appointed Interim CEO at Conservation International. Conservation International is a nonprofit that partners with governments, companies, civil society, Indigenous peoples and local communities to help people and nature thrive together. In our conversation, Daniela explains why nature was a big focus at Climate Week NYC in 2025, which coincided with the ratification of a historic UN treaty to safeguard marine biodiversity on the high seas. Daniela said Climate Week NYC brought to the fore the importance of financing conservation and mainstreaming the business value of nature. “I'm really sensing that this week: New ideas about how do we finance conservation, how do we mainstream the value that nature brings into business," Daniela tells us. “I'm hearing that not only from business leaders, but from government leaders as well." Daniela says this focus on nature will carry through to the UN's COP30 Climate Change Conference in Belém, Brazil, this November. "This is the Amazonian COP. Belém is a city in the heart of the Amazon, and so Brazil is really prioritizing the role that nature, and forests in particular, can and must play as a climate solution," she says. Listen to all our coverage from Climate Week NYC 2025: As part of a multi-year philanthropic grants program launched in 2024 by the S&P Global Foundation, Conservation International is a Signature Grant Partner in the focus area of creating environmental resilience and will receive $2.5 million over five years.

Climate Group CEO talks momentum in the face of obstacles
In today’s special episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we sit down on the sidelines of Climate Week NYC for an interview with Climate Group CEO Helen Clarkson. Climate Group is the nonprofit that organizes Climate Week NYC in coordination with the UN General Assembly and the City of New York. Helen points to momentum at Climate Week in 2025, with more than 1,000 events taking place across the city compared to 900 the previous year. “We’re seeing companies continuing to move forward,” Helen says. “A lot of these are global businesses ... so what’s happening in the US is a part of that, but it’s not the whole story.” Helen says that Climate Week discussions this year are focusing more on practical solutions and the “nitty-gritty” of implementation. And she highlights the need for collective action and collaboration to effectively address climate change. “For the systemic shift we need in order to solve this, we need to start to see sectors coming together,” Helen tells us.

Water, water everywhere in Climate Week NYC conversations
In today’s special episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we sit down on the sidelines of Climate Week NYC for an interview with CDP CEO Sherry Madera. CDP is a global nonprofit that runs an independent environmental disclosure system for companies, capital markets, cities, states and regions to manage their environmental impacts. Sherry says that at Climate Week NYC this year, water is front and center in many conversations, especially as companies build water-intensive data centers to address growing AI demand. “There has been a 100% increase in the interest and demand and the requests for data on biodiversity and on water in particular,” she says.

Climate Week, meet Fashion Week
Climate Week NYC kicked off just days after New York Fashion Week wrapped. In today’s special Climate Week NYC episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we’re exploring the intersection of sustainability and fashion in an interview with Peter Majeranowski, CEO and Co-Founder of circular fashion startup Circ. Circ’s investors include big brands like Patagonia and the parent company of Zara, as well as Breakthrough Energy Ventures, the investment firm founded by Bill Gates. Circ was also a finalist for the Earthshot Prize, which each year awards £1 million to five winners for their environmental solutions. The apparel sector is a significant source of global emissions, and Peter explains how Circ promotes circularity by recycling clothing. He says that a lot of the technical challenges around recycling have been solved, and unlocking financing is the challenge that keeps him awake at night. “For the bankers to get involved, they want to see long-term commitments from the brands, and that’s a muscle that just does not exist in this industry,” he says. “That’s the biggest challenge.” Listen to our coverage from Climate Week NYC here: We'll be back with podcast interviews from Climate Week NYC throughout the week — including our coverage from The Nest Climate Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast is an official media partner.

Kicking off Climate Week NYC in a fragmented global landscape

Kicking off Climate Week NYC in a fragmented global landscape
Climate Week NYC 2025 is under way, and we're kicking off our special podcast coverage speaking to Peter Bakker, CEO of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development. WBCSD is a global network of more than 250 companies focused on integrating climate, nature and equity action into corporate strategies, operating plans and decision-making. WBCSD is celebrating its 30th anniversary at Climate Week NYC in 2025, at a time when many US companies are reevaluating their approach to sustainability. "Clearly in North America at the moment, the conversation has to be an economic conversation: What is the business case? Why do investments in this space make sense?" Peter says. These discussions very look different in other parts of the world, and Peter says the upcoming UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties known as COP30 will be the "true test" of whether multilateralism can help advance global climate solutions, or whether the world takes an increasingly fragmented, regional approach. Regardless, he says corporate boards need to understand the physical risks in their supply chains and pursue both adaptation and mitigation strategies. "This is not a midcentury issue — this is in the next five to 10 years," Peter says. "That will lead to much more focus on resilience and adaptation. However, the reality is there is no adaptation plan for a 3-degree world ... That means it remains of the highest priority to continue to put pressure on emission reductions."

How the legal industry drives sustainability and the energy transition

How the legal industry drives sustainability and the energy transition
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we’re unpacking the role the legal industry plays in driving sustainability and energy transition strategies in an interview with Shane Gleghorn, the head of global law firm Taylor Wessing. The law firm is a member of the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI), and this episode is the latest in our Terra Carta Series of the All Things Sustainable podcast in collaboration with the SMI. The SMI is a network of over 250 global CEOs across finance and industry, including S&P Global. SMI facilitates private sector diplomacy with the ambition of making sustainability the driving force of global markets and value creation. Throughout 2025, we’re interviewing SMI member CEOs from around the world and across industries about how they’re approaching sustainability challenges and opportunities. In the episode, Shane explains how the legal industry works with clients on sustainability goals and how policy and regulation can drive sustainable financing and investment. “In many respects, the greatest agency that the legal services firms have is to work with their clients to assist them with their transition process,” Shane says. “To give you an example, at least 50% of our clients have net-zero targets, and we’re working with them to achieve those."

What to expect from Climate Week NYC in 2025
There's just over one week until Climate Week NYC begins Sept. 21, and we’re diving into what to expect from the conference in a volatile year for climate action in the US. The week includes more than 900 events across the city hosted by a range of organizations — including The Nest Climate Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast will again be an official media partner. Register free to attend . In today’s episode, we’re talking with Britton Jones, Founder and CEO of The Nest Climate Campus. He discusses topics that will be in focus during Climate Week NYC and how the climate landscape has evolved this year. "There’s a real emphasis on substance coming into Climate Week 2025,” Britton says. Launched in 2009, Climate Week NYC convenes business leaders at the same time that government leaders and NGOs are in New York City for UN General Assembly meetings. This means many decisionmakers from the public and private sectors are in town at a key moment, just two months before the UN’s annual Climate Change Conference of the Parties, known as COP. This year, COP30 will take place in Brazil Nov. 10-21. You can learn more about the event S&P Global will host at Climate Week NYC on Wednesday, Sept. 24, here: Check out cohost Lindsey Hall’s appearance on the Look Forward podcast from S&P Global: And listen to our interview with the CEO of two major investor networks in Asia-Pacific representing trillions of dollars of assets under management globally — the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC) and the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC): This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1 and not by S&P Global Ratings, which is a separately managed division of S&P Global.

CEO of major Asia-Pacific investor networks: ‘Climate risk is investment risk’

CEO of major Asia-Pacific investor networks: ‘Climate risk is investment risk’
In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast we’re talking with Rebecca Mikula-Wright, CEO of the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC) and the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC). The networks represent trillions of dollars of assets under management globally. AIGCC is a network of institutional investors in Asia focused on mitigating climate risks and seizing net-zero opportunities. Its parent organization is IGCC, a network for Australian and New Zealand investors to understand and respond to the risks and opportunities of climate change. Rebecca explains how members across both networks are evolving their approaches to climate, nature and the energy transition. "We do see this continued support for the transition because investors have done the work. They've been assessing their portfolios. They understand that climate risk is investment risk,” she tells us. Rebecca discusses how mandatory climate disclosure in markets like Australia and New Zealand are changing the landscape. And she talks about the importance of policy and regulation, which she calls the “biggest game-changer” when it comes to increasing the pace of decarbonization.

Octopus Energy CEO talks technology, affordability and the energy transition
Welcome to the latest episode in the Terra Carta Series of the All Things Sustainable podcast, a collaboration with the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI). Throughout 2025, we’ll be interviewing SMI member CEOs from around the world and across industries about how they’re approaching sustainability challenges and opportunities. Today we’re speaking with Octopus Energy CEO Greg Jackson. Octopus Energy was founded in the UK in 2016 and has grown into a global clean energy tech business. Greg explains how the company is using technology and AI to lower the cost of decarbonization for consumers. “When you introduce really agile digital technology into a rapidly changing world, we find we can make the energy transition an upgrade — it’s better and cheaper for people, not a sacrifice,” Greg says. About the SMI and Terra Carta Podcast Series: The SMI is a network of over 250 global CEOs across finance and industry. It facilitates private sector diplomacy with the ambition of making sustainability the driving force of global markets and value creation. S&P Global is a proud SMI member.
