Episodes

  1. From liability to opportunity: Rethinking asset closure and transition

    Asset closure has traditionally been viewed as the final chapter in an infrastructure or industrial asset’s life: cease operations, decommission, remediate and manage the resulting liability. But that thinking is changing. As ageing infrastructure, investor scrutiny, decarbonisation and community...

  2. Why critical infrastructure is the hidden force behind global risk

    Most global risk outlooks highlight familiar threats such as climate change, cyber attacks, geopolitical instability and economic uncertainty. Yet one of the most important strategic questions often receives far less attention: what happens when those risks converge on the infrastructure that...

  3. Why understanding risk is key to accelerating renewable energy projects

    The energy transition is moving from ambition to execution. For utilities and developers, the challenge is no longer simply setting renewable energy targets. It is delivering viable projects at the speed and scale required while maintaining confidence in cost, schedules and energy security. That...

  4. Introducing the Water Transition: A conversation on abundance and regeneration

    For generations, economic growth has relied on water supplied by natural systems. But climate change, population growth and rising demand are pushing those systems towards their limits, while water security is becoming increasingly important to energy, food production, technology and economic...

  5. When connected systems fail: The hidden risk of interoperability

    Modern infrastructure depends on interoperability. From electricity networks and transport systems to financial services and telecommunications, interconnected systems allow organisations to operate at unprecedented scale, speed and efficiency. But every connection also creates a new pathway for...

  6. PFAS and public trust: Why engagement matters as much as remediation

    Most organisations approach PFAS as a technical challenge. Investigate the contamination. Assess the risks. Develop a remediation strategy. But for communities living with PFAS, the challenge is often much more personal. It is uncertainty, anxiety and a lack of clear answers about what...

  7. Scope 3 emissions: From compliance burden to business advantage

    For many organisations, more than 70 percent of their carbon footprint sits outside their direct operations, embedded within complex supply chains and value chains. Yet despite their scale, Scope 3 emissions are still often treated as a reporting requirement rather than a strategic opportunity....

  8. The intelligence layer: Why smarter control will define the grid's future

    As renewables, electrification and distributed energy reshape electricity systems, the real challenge is no longer just building more infrastructure. It is learning how to operate increasingly complex networks in real time. The transition from passive, one-way grids to dynamic, bidirectional...

  9. Coastal resilience: How communities can adapt to rising tides and stronger storms

    Coastal communities are facing growing pressure from rising seas, stronger storms and infrastructure never designed for the conditions now emerging. The challenge is no longer whether communities should adapt, but how they make smarter decisions about what to protect, where to invest and how to...

  10. At the crossroads: Decisions shaping the next decade

    Housing affordability, climate resilience, clean energy and mobility are reshaping how communities think about the future. Drawing on GHD’s CROSSROADS research, a global study of 13,000 people across 10 countries, this conversation explores how different generations see the challenges ahead…

  11. Accelerating grid innovation for a clean energy future

    Electricity transmission is emerging as one of the most critical bottlenecks in the energy transition. The challenge is not simply building more infrastructure. It is building it quickly enough, amid growing supply chain constraints, global resource shortages and delivery models not always…
