This is the episode description, sometimes called episode notes or show notes. It's what people will see when they play the episode in their podcast app, and on the web. You can do some fancy things with your episode notes, like embed videos from YouTube or photos from Instagram.

Your episode notes automatically adjust depending on the app the listener is using.

Climate finance leader and author Jo Puri joins Revolve to discuss the Green Climate Fund’s role in combating climate change, how responding to the changing climate will require international coordination, and how fiction can stoke enthusiasm for climate innovation.

Policy and agreements are powerful instruments for leaders working to modify carbon emitting activities and mitigate the impact of climate change. John Verdieck from The Nature Conservancy talks with us about the complexity of crafting international climate policy, how science can be used to balance human welfare with the planet’s health, and why nature may prove to be one of the most powerful technologies available for combating climate change.

Climate justice is gaining attention as more people realize that the impact of climate change will disproportionately affect indigenous and under resourced communities. We welcome Karla Brollier from the Climate Justice Initiative to learn how climate change is impacting indigenous communities, why politics are an unhelpful distraction from major challenges ahead of us, and how matriarchal leadership could help generate positive adaptations for communities affected by our changing climate.

There’s a common assumption that social and climate conscious business is not very lucrative. Organizations like infrastructure and manufacturing leader Kamine Development Corporation (KDC) are proving this wrong by showing how climate friendly business can coexist with profit. Matt Kamine from KDC talks with us about why new technologies don’t always get attention and investment from institutional investors and public companies, describe how KDC is aiming to make large scale change without requiring consumers to pay more, and share which climate conscious manufacturing innovations have him most excited (including carbon negative concrete).

Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) factors have gained momentum in the last few decades as key criteria for investors evaluating a company’s societal impact. Social impact expert Simone Shaheen joins Revolve to help us understand ESG, explore how companies are embracing sustainability, and talk about how language plays a critical role in how each of us contemplates the impact of climate change.
