Strap on your boots, don your hats, grab your pitchforks and mangroves, because we are going carbon hunting! Although carbon dioxide makes up a measly 0.04% of our atmosphere or 421 parts per million (ppm), it is about double the average concentration seen over the past 3 million years. All of this extra carbon dioxide accumulated since the pre-industrial era has already caused global warming of 1.1 degrees Celsius, destabilized Earth's climate and started the 6th mass extinction of biodiversity in our planet's history.One solution: put a bounty on carbon's head and bring it to justice, aka carbon pricing. Since its introduction by the European Union in 2005, the idea of carbon pricing has long been touted by economists as one of the best ways to tackle climate change: making polluters pay for the environmental damage their emissions cause.Join Kokou Agbo-Bloua as he travels back in time to the beginning of time itself, the Big Bang, to trace the history of carbon from its cosmic origins to its role in climate change. He also explores the science behind the formation of carbon, its role in the carbon cycle and its impact on the Earth's atmosphere.But the hunt doesn't stop there. We'll also dive into the world of carbon markets and natural capital solutions. Kokou talks to Eric Schoumsky, Head of Natural Capital Solutions at Societe Generale, about the role of carbon markets in financing nature-based solutions and how the market could evolve by 2050. Kokou presses Eric on the potential risks of manipulation and the potential impact on low-income households in a context of high inflation and shifting geopolitics.So join us on this high-stakes chase through the periodic table as we uncover the complex and fascinating world of carbon and its impact on our planet. "Carbon Bounty Hunting is a must-listen for anyone interested in science, the environment and the future of our planet.About this showWelcome to 2050 Investors your monthly guide to understanding the intricate connections between finance, globalisation, and ESG.Join host Kokou Agbo-Bloua, Head of Economics, Cross-Asset & Quant Research at Societe Generale, for an exploration of the economic and market megatrends shaping the present and future, and how these trends might influence our progress to meeting 2050’s challenging global sustainability targets.In each episode, Kokou deep-dives into the events impacting the economy, financial markets, the planet, and society.

Should the world's central banks (Fed, ECB, BoE...) launch a coordinated "green quantitative easing" programme to simply print the $3.5 trillion a year needed to finance the energy transition? Is this a realistic solution or too green to be true?This episode of the 2050 investors podcast puts the 'central' back in central banks. Since their creation in the 17th century, central banks have been tasked with managing monetary policy, overseeing the banking system and the core mandate of maintaining 'price stability'. But climate change is becoming a major threat to their mandate, posing a real risk to economic and financial stability in the medium to long term.In this latest episode, Kokou explores the delicate balancing act that central banks must perform as they seek to be independent in ensuring that inflation remains under control, while at the same time contributing to economic and financial stability and playing a central role in the fight against climate change. There is more to central banking than meets the eye.Don't worry if you've forgotten your Economics 101 course, or if you've never taken one, because we're going to give you a quick crash course in the complicated role of the central bank, using references from the series Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) and the wonderful and magical world of Lord of the Rings.And, of course, we take you down memory lane with a brief history of central banks and their evolution from World War I through 20th century Japan to the recent 'inflation outbreak' following the Covid19 pandemic.Later in the episode you will hear extracts from an episode of "The ECB Podcast" entitled "Tackling climate change as a central bank, between motivation, obligation and limitation". Isabel Schnabel and Frank Elderson, Executive Board members of the European Central Bank, explain the role of the ECB's Corporate Sector Purchase Programme (CSPP), which buys green bonds issued by companies in order to reduce their carbon footprint.About this showWelcome to 2050 Investors your monthly guide to understanding the intricate connections between finance, globalisation, and ESG.

Why do we say, "there’s no place like home"? This iconic phrase appears in "The Wizard of Oz" to remind us of the human need for familiarity, belonging and protection. Over the past centuries, our homes have followed a Darwinian process of evolution by natural selection of efficiency. From caves to skyscrapers, they’ve protected us from wild animals, natural disasters, and the changing climate.   Current estimates put the total number of houses at around 2 billion and by 2050, we will need to house around 10 billion people, all looking for familiarity, belonging, comfort and security. So, in this latest episode of 2050 Investors, we go house hunting with Kokou Agbo-Bloua and take a deep dive into the past, present, and future of housing. How can we create sustainable homes for all, and will we adapt in time in the face of the big bad wolf of climate change? We start off this episode with a cautionary tale of "The Three Little Pigs" 🐷🐷🐷 : a sobering reminder of the need to build for tomorrow. Later we embark on a historical odyssey into the history of housing across cultures — from Egyptian sun-dried bricks to the sprawling skyscrapers of New York. And finally in this episode, Kokou sits down with Ben Richford, Co-Head of Real Estate Sector Research at Societe Generale, to gain more insight into how the housing and real estate markets can strive for a fair and sustainable future. The conversation also touches on the sector's adaptation to climate change and the predicted megatrend of urbanisation, the social aspect of the housing transition, and the economic drivers behind changes in the real estate market.

This special episode of 2050 Investors takes you to… well, the year 2050! Will we have achieved our goal of net-zero emissions and taken the necessary steps to limit global warming to 1.5 C°? And if not, what will a world on the verge of climate collapse due to human activities look like?   Join Kokou Agbo-Bloua as he explores the future, inspired by the thought-provoking series "Black Mirror". Stuck inside a dream within a dream, where fiction and reality are intertwined, will we discover a bright future where humans have taken drastic actions to mitigate climate change and protect our environment? Or will it be the worst-case scenario of a dystopian world, where our planet reels under extreme weather conditions and ecological collapse, and food and resource shortages plague countries?   Luckily for Kokou, he has his AI companion, the newly upgraded SiriGPT, to make sense of these two juxtaposed worlds. Together we navigate the future, weighing the consequences of the choices we make today to shape the world we wake up to tomorrow. The future awaits!   About the show 2050 Investors offers an investigation into tomorrow’s economic and market megatrends ahead of 2050’s global sustainability targets.

Economy, planet, markets and you 2050 Investors is going on a summer break! Before we meet again in September, listen to our April 2022 episode on the insurance industry, which is facing a number of challenges as a result of climate change. In insurance lingo, an “Act of God” is an event outside of human control or activity, such as natural disasters. With the growing frequency of such "Acts of God" - amplified by acts of men - the question of the insurability of climate risks is front and centre. Kokou Agbo-Bloua takes on this key topic and investigates how the insurance industry has been adapting to meet the challenge. He brings in Mr Ernst Rauch, Chief Climate and Geo Scientist at Munich Re, to go one step further. “2050 Investors” offers an investigation into tomorrow’s economic and market mega-trends, ahead of 2050’s global sustainability targets.

Economy, planet, markets and you     Did you know that over the past 440 million years, there have been FIVE mass extinction events on Earth? Now, according to scientists, the sixth extinction may already be underway. By the end of the century, it is estimated that half of an estimated 8 million living species could become extinct due to human-induced global warming.  In this episode of “2050 Investors”, Kokou Agbo-Bloua dissects the math and science behind Biodiversity. What is the link between the theory of general relativity, the sound of biodiversity, photosynthesis, and Darth Vader?  Protecting the rich diversity of our biosphere and creating an inclusive environment for ALL species have now become urgent concerns for both humanity and the planet. How we diversify, rehabilitate, and restore ecosystems will be crucial for achieving a sustainable global economy and the stability of Earth’s climate. To delve deeper into the subject, Kokou interviews Matthieu Maurin, CEO of Iceberg Data Lab, to explain how we can measure and monitor biodiversity footprint across supply chains and corporate business activities.

Economy, planet, markets and you Drifting in the Central North Pacific Ocean is the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch”, a collection of marine debris with a mass so large it has been ranked as our eighth continent. Nature is “circular by design” - balanced and sustainable - but our modern lifestyle is simply not. While recycling efforts are increasing, coupled with government policies and regulations, we must consider if ‘recycling’ is rightly positioned as the last stage in the ‘Reduce, Reuse and Recycle’ slogan. In this episode, Kokou Agbo-Bloua examines the circular economy and the plastic lifecycle. He brings in Daan Van Kassel, a fund manager at Circular Debt fund of Polestar Capital, to explore concrete ways to reduce plastic and become one with nature.   “2050 Investors” offers an investigation into tomorrow’s economic and market mega-trends, ahead of 2050’s global sustainability targets.

Economy, planet, markets and you  Historically, globalisation and international trade contributed to a significant increase in global GDP and wealth. We enjoyed many benefits, including vast choices of consumer goods and services at our fingertips. But behind this story, there is a dark, carbonated side. So, what is the future of international trade? After Brexit, the War in Ukraine, and the Covid-19 pandemic, are we at the beginning of the end of globalisation? Will a future Phileas Fogg be more incentivized to stay at home and circle the world in the metaverse in 80 seconds? Kokou Agbo-Bloua investigates the future of trade and supply chain networks at a time of both climate adaptation and mitigation. To dig into this further, he brings in Tim de Knegt, treasurer and strategic finance manager at the Port of Rotterdam, for insights. “2050 Investors” offers an investigation into tomorrow’s economic and market mega-trends, ahead of 2050’s global sustainability targets. Sourcing information directly from market practitioners, the financial press, research reports, the podcast provides you with insights from all around the globe.

Economy, planet, markets and you When looking into the energy transition and options for clean sources of energy, hydrogen is often listed as one of the key solutions for the future. The hype about its potential is undeniable, but so are the critics about its costs, efficiency and sustainability. So, is hydrogen gray until proven green? In this new episode of 2050 Investors, Kokou Agbo-Bloua sets the stage for a trial by podcast: Solar and Wind Energy vs. Hydrogen. Through the proceedings, both the limitations and strengths of Hydrogen as THE clean source of energy of the future are clearly exposed. And as an ‘expert witness’, Allan Baker, Global Head of Power at Societe Generale, discusses the state of play of Hydrogen in the economy. “2050 Investors” offers an investigation into tomorrow’s economic and market mega-trends, ahead of 2050’s global sustainability targets.
