Sustainability Uncovered Podcast episode 11: Global Goals special (part 2) – local clean air action and global energy transitions

The Sustainability Uncovered podcast, hosted in partnership with Lloyds Bank, uncovers some of the most inspiring and insightful sustainability and climate action stories from across the globe. The show features live-in-the-studio guests, leader interviews, need-to-know round-ups, listener quizzes and more – all wrapped up into monthly episodes.

To mark edie’s upcoming SDG Week of digital content and events (18-22 September), episode 11 of the podcast is delivered up in two parts, covering different aspects of the 17 Global Goals and 169 underlying targets.

Following on from the first part of the pod, Sarah heads back to the studio to deliver two special guest interviews.

• First up, Sarah speaks with Kate Barnard, co-founder and chief executive of Enjoy the Air. Kate explains how improving air quality in urban areas is crucial to sustainable development, and gives her advice on cutting through the noise of the current culture wars around London’s Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
• And next, she speaks with Dr Angela Wilkinson, chief executive and secretary-general at the World Energy Council. She helps us envision a pathway to achieving SDG 7, which relates to universal clean and affordable energy access.

Editor’s note: The World Energy Council’s World Energy Congress is a media partner of edie.
