Ahead of Climate Week NYC and the UN General Assembly, we look at how the world's largest multilateral climate fund is deploying capital in a moment when government commitment to climate finance is wavering. Host Anna Stablum is joined by Amer Baig , Chief Investment Officer of the Green Climate Fund — a key financing mechanism under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Over ten years, the fund has invested just over $20 billion across 135 developing countries, and Amer explains how this money unlocks private capital and opens doors to various financing mechanisms. He walks through how the fund uses flexible, patient capital to stretch that $20 billion into roughly $80 billion in total project value. Anna and Amer also get into the distance between what institutions say publicly and what they're doing privately, why "climate" may be the most misleading shorthand in the sector, and what perceived versus real risk means for capital flowing into developing markets.

What if sustainability isn't a job title, but a skill set you already have? Emma Cox speaks with Kelsey Kates , founder of Playfully Works ,about what it means to care deeply about the planet while working in a role not traditionally tied to sustainability. At the time of this recording, Kelsey led learning and development at Google. While sustainability was never part of her formal job description, she became a keynote speaker on the company's sustainability efforts by volunteering her time, sharing her expertise, and consistently showing up. Bringing a learning-science lens to a question many of us have asked— how much can one person actually do? Kelsey explores how individual conviction can become meaningful to organizational impact. In this conversation, she shares insights on: Finding your own entry point into climate work through the expertise, influence, and passions you already have. How small operational shifts, implemented at scale, can quietly change behaviors and norms. Why explaining the why behind a change can matter just as much as the change itself. Whether sustainability is best understood as a competitive advantage—or a competitive imperative. Disclaimer: Since this conversation, Kelsey has concluded her decade-long tenure at Google and launched her own company, Playfully Works. It’s founding idea is one she shares in this episode, you don't have to be serious to do serious work.

Coastal Louisiana is losing a football field of land every hour. Restore the Earth Foundation (REF) is betting a million acres of restored forest can turn that around — and they're nearly halfway there. In this episode, host Erika Schiller is joined by Taylor Marshall , REF's Executive Director and a project manager for Ecometrics – a platform that quantifies the environmental, social, and economic impact of restoration projects. Together they talk about how native bald cypress reforestation delivers far more than carbon, from flood protection and cleaner water to the return of cultural practices that faded when the forests did. The conversation traces Restore the Earth's path from small post-Katrina tracts to full landscape-scale restoration, and the collaboration model that made that growth possible across federal agencies, state partners, local parishes, and corporate funders. Marshall shares what two decades of hard-won lessons have taught her about designing projects that endure, and the valuation work that finally gave funders a business case they could act on.

In our new exclusive – ESG Decoded x Superpollutant Sessions , we’re shifting the climate conversation toward something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention, but has the potential to drive some of the fastest, most meaningful climate impact available right now: superpollutants. You’ve likely heard a lot about carbon dioxide, and for good reason. But gases like methane, nitrous oxide, and refrigerants are significantly more potent (hence the name superpollutants), and yet they remain underrepresented in mainstream climate discussions, business strategies, and public awareness. So, the question is: why? And more importantly: what can we do about it? In this multi-voice video episode, we’re bringing together a range of perspectives—from scientists and climate experts to industry leaders, corporate decision-makers, and policy experts, to connect the dots and challenge how we think. You’ll hear a series of focused conversations, each offering a different lens on the same challenge: how do we accelerate practical, scalable solutions that already exist, and what it will take to move from conversation to action. Meet the experts driving this conversation with our lovely host, Erika Schiller : Segment 1: Dr. Gabrielle Dreyfus ( Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development ) & Dr. Ilissa Ocko ( Spark Climate Solutions ) Segment 2: Derek Six & Alison Tyndall ( ClimeCo ) Segment 3: Michelle Jolly ( Amazon ) Segment 4: Kristen Gorguinpour ( Climate Action Reserve ) Don’t miss an episode—subscribe to ESG Decoded on your favorite podcast platform and follow us on social for the latest updates!

The future (and current state) of ESG has been debated from every angle, but what is actually happening inside companies? In this episode, Emma Cox is joined by Andrew Jones , Principal Researcher at The Conference Board , to discuss new research on how organizations are responding to today's evolving ESG landscape. Together, they separate headlines from reality, examining how businesses are adapting their strategies, navigating shifting political and regulatory pressures, and integrating sustainability more deeply into core business decisions. The conversation highlights why many companies are rethinking how they communicate about ESG, what this means for climate commitments and long-term resilience, and how business leaders can stay focused on creating measurable value amid ongoing uncertainty.

In a time of growing urgency, why does meaningful climate progress still feel out of reach? In this episode, host Emma Cox is joined by Bill Flederbach , President and CEO of ClimeCo, and Dr. T. Alexander Puutio , a leadership professor at Harvard, Columbia, and NYU Stern, and a contributor to Forbes, Fast Company, and Psychology Today. Together, they examine how market incentives, media narratives, and consumer behavior shape climate progress, and why those systems often slow meaningful action. The conversation challenges how change actually happens in practice, highlighting the tension between ambition and execution. It asks a tough question: do real climate solutions require working within today’s economic system rather than against it? By addressing this complexity, the episode offers a candid perspective on what it takes to turn climate goals into meaningful, scalable impact.
