169. Do The Work

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome to this week’s episode - It’s a packed agenda. Our hosts cover everything from nature breakdown in the UK, the threat of nuclear war in Europe, the downfall of a World Bank President and plenty in-between. We also hear from the incredible Helen Clarkson and Catherine McKenna on everything to do with greenwashing, carbon tax and the power of straight-talking on climate. For those of you working in the corporate world and grappling with climate action, this is an episode you do not want to miss.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Helen Clarkson</strong>, CEO of the Climate Group which convenies Climate Week NYC, shares a fascinating insight at the disconnect happening within companies on the road to net zero, who are now having to turn their commitments into real action.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And that brings us to the fascinating conversation on greenwashing with <strong>Catherine McKenna</strong>, Chair of something with an extraordinarily long and very difficult to say without reading your notes name: the UN’s High-Level Expert Group on the Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities. We talk about how, while we’re all outraged - rightly - by greenwashing, we still need to lift up the folks who are doing the real work and not lump everyone in the same group.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And there’s more: on the balance between integrity and momentum, supply chain efficiencies, understanding risk, a price on carbon, disclosure and what blockchain has to do with all of that.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We wrap up with a gorgeous song from Finnegan Tui. Your ears will thank you for staying on to listen.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><strong>Notes and Resources</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thank you to our guests this week: </span></p> <p><span style="
