Can AI Outsmart the Weather?

From sudden downpours to extreme storms, the weather is changing fast. In this episode of Nature Unheard, hosts Rachael Barza and Emma Bentley look at how artificial intelligence is reshaping weather forecasting and ask why faster, smarter predictions matter for climate resilience, cities and nature. This episode features insights from Carlo Buontempo of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, as well as looking at EBRD projects in Mongolia and showcasing the work of EBRD client Rainbow AI. The EBRD’s projects in Mongolia were supported by EBRD donors: Austria, the Green Climate Fund (GCF), and Japan (through the EBRD’s Green Cities programme). And our client Rainbow AI has also received support from the European Union.

Making Nature Count

Can we change what we don’t measure? In our first podcast episode, Adonai Herrera-Martínez speaks with Marco Lambertini, Convener of Nature Positive and former WWF International Director General, about the urgent need to value nature - scientifically, economically, and politically. From coral reefs to global finance, they explore how biodiversity loss affects us all, and why “more nature, not less” must be our shared goal. The episode also spotlights an EBRD project in Jordan, supported by the EBRD Southern and Eastern Mediterranean Multi-Donor Account (Australia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Spain, TaiwanBusiness-EBRD Technical Cooperation Fund, and the United Kingdom), and the Blue Mediterranean Partnership (European Union, France, Germany, Spain and Sweden).

Clean Water: Too Much, Too Little, Too Dirty

We drink it, swim in it and depend on it, yet we rarely think about it until something goes wrong. In this episode of Nature Unheard, we’re joined by Katrina Charles, Professor of Environmental Health Risks at Oxford University, and Dr Saskia Nowicki, Senior Research Associate, to explore why clean freshwater is so easy to take for granted, and what it will take to protect it in a changing climate. Supported by Czechia, Switzerland and the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

Brave old world- the launch of EBRD Transition Report 2025-26

Is demographic change a bigger global challenge than climate change? And is population ageing, in fact, one of humanity’s greatest successes? In this episode, listen back to the launch of the EBRD’s Transition Report 2025-26: Brave Old World. Moderated by Richard Porter, EBRD Managing Director of Communications, the discussion brings together a distinguished panel: Professor Sarah Harper CBE – Clore Professor of Gerontology, University of Oxford; Director, Oxford Institute of Population Ageing Eghosa Omoigui – Founder and Managing General Partner, EchoVC Partners Dr Nicholas Eberstadt – Henry Wendt Chair in Political Economy, American Enterprise Institute Beata Javorcik – EBRD Chief Economist Brave Old World explores how demographic shifts are reshaping economies—from rapidly ageing societies to countries with youthful, fast-growing populations. The report examines declining fertility rates, the economic consequences of ageing, and the policy tools that can help countries adapt. These include extending productive working lives, accelerating automation, and enabling labour mobility. The discussion also delves into how artificial intelligence, migration policy, and evolving societal values interact with demographic change across the EBRD regions and beyond.

EBRD Transition Report 2023-24 live launch

Listen to the live launch of the EBRD Transition Report launch. The global shift to net zero will require major structural changes in economies, as well as extensive change in daily lives. The scale of the transition is unprecedented: from the rush to source critical raw materials to the reconfiguration of global supply chains; from the rise of green skills in the workforce to the development of environmentally sustainable housing markets. The EBRD Transition Report 2023-24: Transitions big and small, published today, offers revealing insights into the way macro-level trends leading to carbon neutrality impact the types of job sought, household management and, ultimately, the perceived level of happiness in the regions where the Bank operates. EBRD Chief Economist Beata Javorcik said: “The change and upheaval that stems from these trends will affect people’s lives for the foreseeable future. Policymakers will need to establish a deep understanding of those effects in order to plan future stages of the green transition, as individual attitudes will both shape and be shaped by that transition process. […] “The success of the green transition will depend on winning their hearts and minds as we continue our journey towards a cleaner future. If there is one thing we have learned from 30 years of transition in the EBRD regions, it is that reforms will not last unless they have broad-based support.” The discussion features Charlotta Källbäck, Head of Internal Audit, Volvo Cars Sandra Bates, specialist on mining and clean energy with Executive and non-Executive Director experience Mark Keese, Head of the Skills and Employment Division, OECD Professor Beata Javorcik, Chief Economist, EBRD Moderated by Jonathan Charles
