Climate Leadership Roundtable #2

|
We’re excited to continue our Climate Leadership Roundtable together with Sweden’s leading climate scientists Åsa Löfgren and Sverker Jagers! This time, we will focus on equipping business leaders with insights, knowledge and tools to become successful in their climate leadership and create impact across various industries.
A combination of Another Tomorrow’s change management experience within large organisations and scientific insights from Åsa and Sverker’s research have led us to identify a number of factors that hold organisations back in their green transition. Our ambition with these discussions is to contribute to accelerating the transition through collaboration and knowledge-sharing with those at the forefront of making an impact.
A place to listen and learn from like-minded leaders with the aim to walk away with new lessons and therefore strengthen everyone’s transition toward the green economy.
Read our analysis from the last roundtable and reach out to Lisa if you want to know more.

permissions for clean tech projects amongst others), leaders of the world are not only seeing the green transition as necessary but a fruitful business.
The Atlantic reports, "This 'race to the top' approach to tackling climate change is new, according to Jessie Jenkins, an energy-policy researcher at Princeton. 'For decades, the climate challenge has been framed as a collective-action problem', he told me, 'a tragedy of the commons that demanded shared sacrifice.' Now, instead of requiring sacrifice, fixing the climate is seen as having 'significant economy, security, and geostrategic benefits.'"
So, has decarbonisation finally "gone mainstream" and is that a reason to stop worrying now? Spoiler alert: It's not. Nevertheless, enough carrots showing business leaders across the world that there are huge benefits to reap and that you simply cannot miss out on this, will help us in reducing emissions, one of the critical aspects of tackling the climate crisis.

A conversation with Swedbanks Head of Sustainability Fredrik Nilzén on banks' role in the transition, longterm playing rules and common goals, recommended by Head of Sustainable Impact Lisa: "Great episode to understand how big banks reason around the green transition. Especially minute 24 onwards, Fredrik discusses the need for hard-to-clean industries to provide credible plans for their transition." Listen here.
