Comments Off on Season 3: Episode 9 – in conversation with Professor Sir Dieter Helm
In this episode, we sit down with economist and author Professor Sir Dieter Helm to discuss his vision for a sustainable economy.
Helm asks the question, “what would it look like to live in a sustainable economy?” and offers a framework for understanding and addressing climate change.
He argues that the current narrative around net-zero is unrealistic and that a more balanced approach is needed, one that takes into account the realities of the global economy and the need for sustainable economic growth.
Helm emphasises the importance of focusing on capital assets, rather than just flows, and of considering the intergenerational impacts of our actions. He also discusses the need for a new kind of economic thinking that takes into account the realities of the 21st century, rather than relying on outdated models from the 20th century.
Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the challenges and opportunities of achieving a sustainable future. This episode is brought to you by United Renewables in association with the University of Oxford.

Comments Off on Season 3: Episode 5 – in conversation with Sean Kidney
In this episode of the Conversations on Climate Podcast, we are delighted to sit down with Sean Kidney who is Co-founder and CEO of Climate Bonds Initiative to discuss the importance of green bonds and financing the transition to a low-carbon economy.
This conversation highlights the urgency of addressing climate change and the potential for green bonds to help fund renewable energy projects, improve energy efficiency, and promote sustainable agriculture.
Kidney emphasises the need for clear standards and regulations to ensure the integrity of the green bond market and prevent greenwashing. This video makes a compelling case for the critical role that green bonds can play in financing the transition to a more sustainable future.
With the global bond market worth $130 trillion, green and sustainable bonds currently make up just 4 trillion of that total. However, kidney believes that this market has the potential to grow at least ten times in the next decade, making green bonds the biggest asset class in the world. Watch this video to learn more about the role of green bonds in financing a sustainable future.
“We are learning to be adults when the planet needs us to be adults… if we do grow up, we become the consciousness of Gaia. If we don’t, we’re toast.”
More About the Climate Bonds Initiative
Their science-based taxonomy has certified $300 billion in climate bonds across 16 sectors and 20 instrument types, and they have $34 trillion in assets represented at board level.
Some of the insights in this episode include:
Climate as a species-level opportunity (if we can take it)
The trillion-dollar question: are green bonds growing fast enough?
The power of pension funds – and why they’re finally waking up
How emerging green markets can solve the West’s demographic timebomb
Eat quinoa, not corn (and other lessons from green bond taxonomy)
Climate resilience funding: many flavours of gelato!
Last-mile CCUS, the Icelandic volcano way
Should we just cancel COP? Sean gets stuck in!
Climate lessons from Marx, memes and the KKK
Why turning the world’s supertanker is a systems game
“It’s never too late till it really is too late…this is really about how we manage the planet…we ended up becoming stewards of the earth…humans affect everything.”
“… you’re thinking, what are we doing?!I’m going to say, how can you not be passionate when you’re looking at your future corroding before your eyes in the science?”
“So my belief is that we need to change the financial system to be future-fit to meet our needs and, of course, that means bonds that are green will become the biggest asset class.”

Comments Off on Season 3: Episode 4 – in conversation with Kelly Price
Join us for this enlightening episode of the Conversations on Climate podcast as we delve into the intricate relationship between climate change, food production, and sustainable farming practices.
In this episode, we are honoured to have Kelly Price, an AgriTech entrepreneur with a diverse background ranging from biology and cancer research to tackling food waste, share her insights on the pressing issues facing our planet and our plates. Kelly challenges us to adopt the curiosity of a three-year-old and question why the true cost of food production, especially those contributing to the destruction of vital ecosystems like the Amazon, is not reflected in our food prices.
She highlights the invisible link between healthy planets and healthy people, emphasising the detrimental effects of nitrogen and pesticides on our waterways and the urgent need for a shift towards sustainable farming practices. Discover why many farmers, despite their deep connection to the land, find themselves trapped in a cycle of using harmful chemicals to ensure crop yield, driven by economic pressures and a system that favours short-term gains over long-term sustainability. Kelly also sheds light on the innovative solutions being developed by her company, Agreed Earth, which aims to reduce nitrogen loss through satellite data, offering a beacon of hope for aligning economic incentives with environmental stewardship.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of food production, the impact of agriculture on climate change, and the potential for technology and traditional farming practices to coexist and lead us towards a more sustainable and resilient food system. Whether you’re a concerned citizen, a farmer looking for sustainable practices, or someone interested in the intersection of technology and agriculture, this conversation offers valuable insights and a call to action to rethink our approach to food and farming for the sake of our planet and future generations.
