      Dec 20 2024

      This final episode of The Week in Sustainability reflects on two impactful years of insights, from groundbreaking regulations like the EU’s CSRD and ISSB standards to climate science milestones and natural disasters reshaping the corporate sustainability landscape. We explore key moments, including advancements in climate disclosure, state-level policies, and global energy transitions, while emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in addressing our shared climate reality.

      Looking ahead, sustainability efforts will likely expand through regulatory frameworks, technological innovations, and collective adaptation to climate impacts. Although this marks the end of the podcast, listeners can continue engaging with sustainability discussions on:

    • Breaking Down COP29 // The Week in Sustainability #112
      Nov 21 2024

      The Week in Sustainability

      November 18–22, 2024

      This week:

      We dive into the highlights, controversies, and challenges of COP29 in Azerbaijan. While ambitious climate commitments were announced, such as the UN's 81% emissions reduction target by 2035 and Indonesia’s plans for net zero by 2060, skepticism remains about how these goals will be achieved. The conference also saw significant milestones, including the establishment of global carbon market standards under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which could dramatically reduce the cost of implementing NDCs. However, criticism marred the summit, with allegations of fossil fuel deals overshadowing its mission. As global negotiations continue, the podcast underscores the necessity of these forums despite their imperfections, emphasizing their pivotal role in advancing climate action.

    • State-Level Wins for Climate // The Week in Sustainability #111
      Nov 14 2024

      The Week in Sustainability

      November 11–15, 2024

      This week:

      After the 2024 U.S. election, several states took significant climate action despite federal uncertainties. Washington voters upheld the Climate Commitment Act, ensuring funding for carbon reduction projects, while California approved a $10 billion resilience fund targeting wildfire prevention, water conservation, and clean energy. Hawaii launched a Climate Resiliency Fund, and Louisiana allocated renewable energy revenue for coastal restoration. In South Dakota, voters repealed a law favoring pipeline development, prioritizing landowner rights. Meanwhile, Texas reinforced fossil fuel policies, leaving climate action to local efforts. These state-level initiatives reflect growing public support for policies that enhance safety and resilience.
