In today’s episode…

While Matt and Sarah kept on top of the daily COP26 agenda, Luke took the podcasting reigns to deliver up three interviews with business leaders and NGOs around the Blue Zone.

First, he speaks with Saeed Abdul-Razak, the Rainforest Alliance’s global theme lead for climate change, to discuss a host of climate-related issues and solutions, including climate change adaptation and mitigation, climate-smart agriculture, and natural climate solutions.

Next, Luke speaks with Richard Swannel, International Director at WRAP, about the critical issue of food waste along with the  broader change that needs to happen to start accelerating the shift towards a circular economy.

And last but by no means least, Luke speaks with Solitaire Townsend, co-Founder of the change agency Futerra and long-time chair of edie’s Sustainability Leaders Forum, about a range of COP-relatedd subjects, including some shocking stats around in ‘climate fatalism’, tracking action on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the role of the advertising industry in driving climate action.
