Comments Off on Season 3: Special Episode – Renewable Energy and Climate Action in Malta with Sandra Gauci
As the impacts of climate change become increasingly evident, the urgent need for bold action to address it has never been greater. In this interview, we speak with Sandra Gauci, leader of the Green Party in Malta and a teacher by profession, about the challenges and opportunities of fighting for a green future.
Gauci emphasises the importance of youth engagement in climate action, noting that young people often provide her with the ideas and inspiration for her work. However, she also acknowledges that the current electoral system in Malta makes it difficult for third parties like the Greens to gain representation. Despite these challenges, Gauci remains optimistic about the potential for change.
“The time is ripe for the people to have a third voice in Parliament,” she says. “I think that climate change at the moment is the top priority, even on a European level. In the long term, it’s the planet and us which will benefit from it.”
Gauci also discusses the importance of renewable energy in combating climate change, pointing out that Malta currently lags behind other European countries in this area. However, she is hopeful that the country can make progress in this area, particularly if the government invests more in renewables and less in fossil fuels.
Throughout the interview, Gauci stresses the need for bold, immediate action to address climate change. “Sometimes certain things require time, and people want short-term solutions,” she says. “But I don’t think that the country or the world can afford these tweaks here and there. We need to be consistent and bold in our actions.”
This interview provides a fascinating insight into the challenges and opportunities of fighting for a green future in Malta and beyond. Whether you’re a climate activist, a concerned citizen, or simply someone who cares about the future of our planet, you won’t want to miss this conversation with Sandra Gauci.

Comments Off on Season 3: Episode 10 – in conversation with Alison Taylor
In this episode, host Chris Caldwell sits down with Alison Taylor, Clinical Associate Professor at NYU Stern School of Business and Executive Director of Ethical Systems. They discuss the crucial role businesses must play in tackling climate change and other environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges.
Key topics covered:
💎 The importance of reconnecting ESG to ethical decision-making within companies
💎 How businesses can attract and retain younger employees who prioritize ESG issues
💎 The growing significance of reputation risk and the need for more compassionate relationships with stakeholders
💎 Practical steps businesses can take to embed sustainability and ethical practices into their operations
Alison Taylor provides valuable insights on the future of business and sustainability, underscoring the urgent need for companies to take a more proactive and responsible approach to addressing the climate crisis and related ESG concerns.
“There is a camp on the right that says all this ESG stuff is just woke; it’s just sell socialism; we need to go back to Milton Friedman. we need to go back to basics; we need to forget about all this stuff and start thinking about shareholder value. But really, good luck hiring or retaining anyone under 30 if you’re going to make those kind of arguments.”
“If we have a more interactive, and compassionate relationship with younger generations, I think we’ll make better decisions about how we run our corporations. Our metaphor for the corporation has been that it’s like a self-interested, profit maximising black box. People often say if a corporation was a person, they’d be a psychopath. An organization isn’t a person. It’s a social system.”

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.
