In the first series of Talking Transitions, we looked at how the transition to a decarbonised economy is inherently several different and varied transitions that span across sectors, geographies and timelines. Central to this are the people these transitions affect and the need for these changes to be just and equitable. For this special bonus episode, David Weston is once again joined by a panel of experts. They discuss how equity needs to be considered depending on where you are in the world, how governments support the reporting of equity and what this means for sustainable finance and new technologies.Equity is a global issue with local solutions so there are many options and routes to take making a complex but vital part of the shift to a sustainable economy.Joining this episode to discuss how equity is being considered as part of the transition to a sustainable economy are:* Amy Brachio, EY’s global vice-chair for sustainability* Carolien de Bruin, senior director of equity action, World Business Council for Sustainable Development* Ricardo Assumpcao, Sustainability & ESG Leader, EY LatamComplimentary access for one month - join the debate!We are delighted to extend an exclusive invitation to you to access FORESIGHT Climate & Energy's community of energy transition enthusiasts and experts.Sign up here, download the award-winning app, and enjoy complimentary access to all exclusive features.  Hosted on Acast.

Talking Transitions is a new special podcast series from FORESIGHT Climate & Energy and EY looking at how the transition to a sustainable economy—both from an environmental, but also social perspective—is affecting three key areas: the energy and resources industry, the financial services sector, and Government.One of the key challenges with funding the climate transition is that many sustainable development projects, particularly emerging markets, are not commercially viable, due to high up-front costs and long pay-back periods. By combining public and private capital through blended finance, it is possible to leverage public funding to help reduce the risk and lower the cost of capital for private investors. This in turn can make it easier to attract further private investment in sustainable development projects.Joining David Weston in this episode of Talking Transitions are:Will Rhode, Global Private Equity ESG Leader at EYKara Mangone, Head of the Sustainable Finance Group at Goldman SachsKaren Fang, Global Head of Sustainable Finance for Bank of AmericaEmmanuel Lagarrigue, Co-Head of Global Climate Strategy at American investment firm KKREnjoy the show!Complimentary access for one month - join the debate!We are delighted to extend an exclusive invitation to you to access FORESIGHT Climate & Energy's community of energy transition enthusiasts and experts.Sign up here, download the award-winning app, and enjoy complimentary access to all exclusive features.  Hosted on Acast.

Talking Transitions is a new special podcast series from FORESIGHT Climate & Energy and EY looking at how the transition to a sustainable economy—both from an environmental, but also social perspective—is affecting three key areas: the energy and resources industry, the financial services sector, and Government.In this session, the panellists examine the role of consumers and end users in the energy transition and how they are—or are not—being proactive in this space. Around 70% of the benefits from the energy transition depend on consumer action, yet only 30% are engaged, according to EY. Key barriers—including affordability, equity, accessibility and the broader value proposition—impact the success and speed of the energy transition. The energy ecosystem needs to address these barriers and engage with consumers to transform their experience.Joining EY’s Greg Guthridge and FORESIGHT’s David Weston on this episode of Talking Transitions are:Charlotte Johnson, Global Head of Markets at Krakenn Technologies, Octopus Energy Group, a UK-based utility companyCillian O’Donoghue, Policy Director at EurelectricMegat Jalaluddin Megat Hassan, Chief Operating Officer of utility TNBEnjoy the show!Complimentary access for one month - join the debate!We are delighted to extend an exclusive invitation to you to access FORESIGHT Climate & Energy's community of energy transition enthusiasts and experts.Sign up here, download the award-winning app, and enjoy complimentary access to all exclusive features.  Hosted on Acast.

Talking Transitions is a new special podcast series from FORESIGHT Climate & Energy and EY looking at how the transition to a sustainable economy—both from an environmental, but also social perspective—is affecting three key areas: the energy and resources industry, the financial services sector, and Government.Accelerating the decarbonisation of our economy is becoming increasingly urgent. Existing climate action falls short of what is required—a priority to be confronted at the upcoming COP28 negotiations.To help address this, private sector institutions have a key role to play. Investors are facing the huge task of embedding decarbonisation into capital allocation and everyday decision-making.Achieving the mindset required to manage these changes and prioritise long-term sustainability will require investment, leadership and cultural change.They will also have to overcome inconsistent government policies, shifting political priorities, and everchanging economic realities.To discuss this, David Weston is joined by Gillian Lofts EY’s global financial services sustainable finance leader, and Masayuki Takanashi, group chief sustainability officer at the Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group.Enjoy the show.Complimentary access for one month - join the debate!We are delighted to extend an exclusive invitation to you to access FORESIGHT Climate & Energy's community of energy transition enthusiasts and experts.Sign up here, download the award-winning app, and enjoy complimentary access to all exclusive features.  Hosted on Acast.
