Green Fix

Hudson Worsley, Chair of MECLA (the Materials and Embodied Carbon Leaders' Alliance) joins us to unpack embodied carbon in construction. The emissions baked into every building, bridge, and data centre before they're even switched on. And how in Australia, construction sits at the centre of the net zero transition that almost no one is talking about.Hudson helped set up MECLA five years ago with WWF-Australia. It now brings together more than 160 partners across construction, infrastructure, government, and finance to drive down embodied carbon in concrete, steel, aluminium, and the buildings they go into.We get into:Why government procurement is the single biggest lever for change in Australian construction, and why outcome-based targets beat input-based onesThe impact of the data centre boom Why concrete alone accounts for around 8% of global emissions, and would be the fourth-largest emitting country in the world if it were oneWhy "no" doesn't mean "never" when you're asking for low-emission materials, and how persistence has driven down the cost premium on low-carbon cementHow the Anzac Bridge, built around the Sydney Olympics with 65% recycled industrial waste in its pillars, was quietly 30 years ahead of its timeWhat AASB S2 mandatory climate reporting means for Scope 3 emissions across the construction value chainHudson's call to action is simple. Ask the embodied carbon question. Then ask it again. And again.RESOURCESMECLA (Materials and Embodied Carbon Leaders' Alliance): https://mecla.org.auMECLA Report on Reducing Embodied Carbon in Data Centre Delivery: https://mecla.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/MECLA-Report-on-Reducing-Embodied-Carbon-in-Data-Centre-Delivery.pdfNational Climate Risk Assessment: https://www.dcceew.gov.au/climate-change/policy/national-climate-risk-assessmentGreen Building Council of Australia: https://new.gbca.org.auNABERS Embodied Carbon: https://www.nabers.gov.au/ratings/our-ratings/nabers-embodied-carbonHUDSON'S RECOMMENDATIONOutrage + Optimism podcast with Christiana Figueres: https://www.outrageandoptimism.orgConnect with us!

In this episode, digital sustainability strategist Tim Prosser returns to The Green Fix to unpack the physical footprint of data centres — the invisible infrastructure behind every AI query, cloud service, and streaming session.Tim breaks down what corporate sustainability professionals need to know right now: why data centres could consume 11% of Australia's electricity by 2035, what the CEFC's reliability gap warning means for energy prices (and your mortgage), and why annual offsets are no longer cutting it. He explains the shift to 24/7 carbon-free energy matching, the emerging water risks that have Sydney, Melbourne, and Hobart mayors sounding the alarm, and how direct-to-chip liquid cooling could halve data centre water use.Plus: six metrics to see through greenwash, procurement moves ASX-listed companies can make today, and why your sustainability team needs to be talking to IT — yesterday.Whether you're reporting under Australia's climate disclosure framework, managing ESG for a company with cloud infrastructure, or just trying to understand where the grid is heading, this one's essential listening.Find Tim Prosser at sustainabilitydigital.comResourcesCEFC (Clean Energy Finance Corporation) "Data centre growth and the energy transition"C40 Cities Network"Sustainable IT Playbook for Technology Leaders"  By: Niklas Sundberg, Richard PastoreConnect with us!

What's the real environmental footprint of your organisation's IT infrastructure — and is your cloud provider telling you the full story?In this episode, we welcome back Tim Prosser for part one of a two-part deep dive into digital sustainability. Tim is a specialist in digital sustainability strategy and green operations, with over 20 years leading enterprise technology teams across the UK and Australia. He serves as a mentor and community advisory board member at Climate Salad and led industry engagement at Climate Action Week Sydney in 2024–2025.Since his first appearance on The Green Fix in June last year — one of our most popular episodes — Tim has been on a global study tour, connecting with digital sustainability practitioners across London, attending Climate Week, London Tech Week, and the Global Tipping Points Conference at Exeter University. He returns with sharp insights on what organisations need to know right now.Tim unpacks why Australian cloud environments are rated E and F against the global standard, what questions organisations should be asking their technology suppliers before hard-baking data into baselines, and where the biggest gaps in IT emissions reporting sit — particularly in financial services, insurance, and media. He introduces the IT Sustainability Maturity Assessment by the global nonprofit Sustainable IT, and explains why the collaboration between sustainability, finance, and IT — what he calls the sustainability value triangle — is the key relationship for credible climate disclosure.Whether you're a sustainability practitioner preparing for mandatory reporting, an IT leader navigating digital emissions, or someone who's never thought about the carbon footprint of their inbox — this episode is essential listening.RESOURCESOrganisations & Tools MentionedSustainable IT (global nonprofit) — https://www.sustainableit.orgIT Sustainability Maturity Assessment (free, open for 2025) — https://www.sustainableit.org/news/2025-launch-of-the-it-sustainability-maturity-benchmark-programClimate Salad — https://www.climatesalad.comParents for Climate — https://www.parentsforclimate.orgNic Seton, CEO of Parents for Climate — https://www.parentsforclimate.org/nic_setonBooksThe Sustainable IT Playbook (2nd edition) by Nicholas Sundberg and Richard Pascoe — https://www.sustainableit.org/sustainable-it-playbookThe Ministry of the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson (2020)Connect with us!

How can the Australian subsidiaries of global multinationals become sustainability innovators, rather than waiting for head office to lead the way?In this episode, we sit down with Dani Matthews, Co-Founder and Chief Impact Officer at Abundium, a leadership community for C-suite executives in foreign-owned companies operating across the ANZ and APAC region. Abundium works with over 100 of the world's leading multinationals to drive what Dani calls "good growth", leadership that balances profit with people and planet.We talk about leapfrogging (not the pilates kind): how Australian subsidiaries can use their distance from global headquarters as freedom to pilot, test, and innovate, then share those breakthroughs back to the global business. She shares how Unilever ANZ achieved B Corp certification before its parent company and piloted a four-day work week in New Zealand, and how DHL Supply Chain is using a global carbon insetting model to reduce supply chain emissions ahead of local infrastructure.We also explore what Dani calls the Trusted Triangle , the critical alignment between the CEO, CFO, and Chief People Officer, and why sustainability must sit at the heart of business strategy, not on the sidelines. With mandatory sustainability reporting now underway in Australia, Dani shares what she's hearing from CFOs navigating the transition and why frustration might actually be the gateway to flow.Whether you're in a multinational, an ASX-listed company, or a sustainability role looking for practical ways to keep this work on the leadership agenda, this conversation is full of actionable insights.RESOURCESGuest & OrganisationAbundium — https://abundium.comDani Matthews on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthewsdani/Books & AuthorsThe Case for Good Jobs by Zeynep Ton (MIT Sloan) — https://goodjobsinstitute.orgNet Positive by Paul Polman (former Unilever CEO)PodcastsChange Signal by Michael Bungay Stanier https://thechangesignal.comResearch & ReportsWEF & BCG Report: Already a Multi-Trillion-Dollar Market: CEO Guide to Growth in the Green Economy (December 2025) — https://www.weforum.org/stories/2025/12/the-5t-green-economy-is-growing-here-s-how-ceos-can-turn-opportunity-into-long-term-growth/Connect with us!

Heat, forests, and hard choices: COP30 in Belém turned climate ambition into a street‑level experience. We have our first return guest, as Beth Dowe, Executive Director of the Climate Leaders Coalition, comes back to the Green Fix to unpack what truly moved the needle at COP: a global push to triple adaptation finance by 2035, Brazil’s big bet on the Tropical Forest Facility, and the fierce debate that stripped fossil fuel roadmap language from the final text while igniting new conversations at home in Australia.Listen in to hear about the real action inside the pavilions where governments, business and civil society intertwined, and why that proximity matters for turning high-level pledges into projects. Beth shares how Australia’s signature on the Belém Declaration creates pressure to refine the Safeguard Mechanism and rethink diesel rebates, even as our COP31 hosting bid fell short. With Minister Bowen confirmed to preside over negotiations, we dig into how Australia can still raise ambition, shape rules and attract global capital to clean energy, critical minerals and value‑chain innovation across the region.Beth shares that it was Nature that took centre stage in the Amazon. We explore how net zero strategies actually depend on halting deforestation, why more than half of global GDP is tied to nature and how the Taskforce for Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is evolving from disclosure to design through pilots that reimagine products, sourcing and end‑of‑life. We also spotlight Indigenous leadership across COP. From the Great Peoples’ March to calls for early engagement and Indigenous‑informed governance to include pathways to co‑ownership in minerals and nature markets, this legitimacy is a prerequisite to investment. Finally, we talk about language that lands: swapping 'decarbonisation' for 'modernisation', treating efficiency as the silent moneymaker and scaling what works through trusted business coalitions and pre‑competitive collaboration for at-scale positive impact.Subscribe, share with a colleague who cares about climate and nature strategy and leave a review to help others discover the show. What’s the one change you want Australia to lead next?Connect with us!

Welcome to Episode 6 of the Positive Tipping Points Special! A 7-episode special series on the road to COP30 in Belem, with guest host Liz Courtney.Sea level isn’t creeping up by accident; it’s obeying physics we’ve understood for a long time. We sit down with Professor Benjamin Horton—one of the world’s leading sea level scientists—to translate complex mechanisms into plain English, connect polar ice to equatorial risk, and show how today’s choices shape tomorrow’s coastlines. From ocean heat swelling the seas to the accelerating melt of Greenland and Antarctica, we walk through the drivers, the uncertainties that matter, and the signals we can already measure from space and on the ground.The conversation travels from the Vostok ice core—800,000 years of atmosphere trapped in bubbles—to geological snapshots 2.8 million years ago, when CO2 sat near today’s levels, global temperatures ran 3 to 5 degrees warmer, and sea level rose 10 to 20 metres. That deep history frames the present: it tells us what Earth is capable of and why peaking emissions by 2030 is not a slogan but a lifeline. We also get granular about regional and local realities. Gravity changes as ice sheets shrink, pushing more water toward the tropics. Currents stack seas unevenly. Cities on sinking deltas face a double hit from subsidence and storm surge. Risk is layered, and so are the solutions.Ben lays out three priorities for the next five years: invest in science and monitoring from pole to postcode, accelerate renewables instead of leaning on unproven carbon capture, and build genuine community engagement so warnings turn into action. There’s grounded optimism here too. We spotlight new cooling materials inspired by desert ants that reflect over 90% of sunlight, practical research that helped trigger timely evacuations in Vietnam, and the steady engine of education driving new ideas. We close with a cultural challenge: bring influencers into the fight and pull climate scientists into the rooms where the biggest decisions are made.Connect with us!

Welcome to Episode 5 of the Positive Tipping Points Special! A 7-episode special series on the road to COP30 in Belem, with guest host Liz Courtney.Systems don’t change neatly; they lurch, resist, and then tip. That turbulence can be terrifying or energising, and in this conversation we choose energy. With Dr Sally Uren of Forum for the Future, we trace a through-line from cleaning a polluted canal to steering global coalitions, showing how climate solutions and public health gains are two sides of the same coin. The energy transition is surging, regenerative agriculture is rewriting the goals of the food system, and health care is shifting from cure to prevention — fertile ground for positive tipping points if we design for co-benefits.Sally unpacks resilience with a kayak metaphor that keeps leadership grounded in agency. We look at how cleaner air, active transport, and heat-resilient cities slash emissions while reducing mortality and chronic disease. We confront equity head-on: women and children bear outsized risks from heat, water stress, and shifting vector-borne diseases, while undercounted heat deaths hide the true burden. The answer isn’t more band-aids; it’s structural policy reform, smarter incentives for adaptation, and private sector strategies that treat climate and health as the same brief.Collaboration is the engine. We examine why harmonising standards, as in Cotton 2040, unlocks scale; how systems evolve from startup to acceleration to stabilisation; and where leaders can pull real levers — financing, procurement, disclosure, and cross-sector coalitions. Along the way, Sally challenges outmoded leadership training and invites us to “compost” failing models so better ones can grow. If you want practical ways to align ethics and economics, to turn personal choices into system ripples, and to help your organisation multi-solve for climate, health, and equity, this episode is your map and paddle.Connect with us!

Welcome to Episode 4 of the Positive Tipping Points Special! A 7-episode special series on the road to COP30 in Belem, with guest host Liz Courtney.Markets don’t just reflect change—they can create it. We sit down with two leaders in responsible investment to unpack how stewardship, smarter regulation, and clear definitions are accelerating corporate decarbonisation and funding solutions at scale. From boardrooms to supply chains, they reveal where investor pressure truly lands, when escalation matters, and why Scope 3 conversations are reshaping strategy across sectors.We dig into Australia’s new sustainability reporting regime and what comparability unlocks for capital markets. But good data is only a start; the real edge comes from analysis that weighs abatement costs, feasibility, and long-term risk. Our guests break down the crucial difference between risk, relative sustainability performance, and impact, and how sloppy language feeds greenwashing while precise terms protect ambition. Fiduciary duty isn’t a brake on climate action—it’s a mandate to manage systemic risk over decades, which turns pensions and sovereign capital into engines for transition.Divestment gets a sober assessment: selling shares usually changes owners, not outcomes. The bigger lever is enabling clean solutions with new capital while engaging incumbents with clear milestones and consequences. We explore why renewables now outcompete fossil fuels in many markets, where technology can design out waste across value chains, and how circular thinking creates durable advantages. The stakes for laggards are rising—physical damage, stranded assets, reduced access to finance, reputational hits, and shrinking export pathways as trading partners tighten standards. Australia has a chance to lead by investing in IP, basic science, education, and advanced manufacturing, turning ideas into industry.You’ll also hear personal journeys into climate finance, practical advice for students and career-changers, and two bold system fixes: cut mis/disinformation at the source and price externalities so value tracks harm and benefit.

Welcome to Episode 3 of the Positive Tipping Points Special! A 7-episode special series on the road to COP30 in Belem, with guest host Liz Courtney.Heat shouldn’t make home feel unsafe. In this episode, we meet architect and regenerative design leader Caroline Pidcock and advocate Emma Bacon, CEO of Sweltering Cities, to map a practical pathway to cooler, fairer, low‑carbon urban life—one retrofit, street tree, and planning rule at a time. The core idea is refreshingly direct: build less and design better. That means using the buildings and streets we already have and upgrading them with smarter materials, shade, ventilation, and green cover rather than pouring more carbon into new construction.We dig into the standards gap that leaves wealthier suburbs cooler while hotter, poorer areas get unsafe new builds. Emma explains why building codes must use future climate data, not historical averages, and how minimum requirements—light-coloured roofs, cross‑ventilation, deeper eaves, and shade—lift the floor for everyone. Caroline shows how good design and clear regulation spark creativity, from pocket parks and bikeways to vertical gardens and external skeletal frames that retrofit towers without displacing communities. Health is front and centre: heat waves are predictable disasters, so cities should treat nature as essential infrastructure, with “social green space” where people actually move and gather.We also zoom out to systems. Faster, more frequent trains can relieve pressure on overheated cores, connect regional towns, and stitch biodiversity corridors along rights of way. Accounting for true social and environmental costs flips the economics toward efficient, cool, and equitable design. Throughout, our guests share hopeful signals: scaled social housing upgrades, community-led projects, and movements shifting mindsets inside the professions.If you care about urban planning, climate resilience, social housing, or just sleeping better on hot nights, this conversation delivers clear steps and real optimism. Subscribe, share with a friend who sweats through summer, and leave a review with the one heat-fighting change you want your council to adopt next.Connect with us!

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Positive Tipping Points Special! A 7-episode special series on the road to COP30 in Belem, with guest host Liz Courtney. In this episode we meet Professor Carlos Nobre of the University of São Paulo,  Co-Chair of the Science Panel for the Amazon, and Professor Peter Cox, CBE Director of the Global Systems Institute University of Exeter. In this episode we discuss how Amazon’s stability depends on a dance between climate, deforestation, drought, and fire, and why some feedbacks can lock in change far faster than politics tend to move. From early land–atmosphere models to today’s field experiments under engineered drought, we unpack what science has learned about tall tree mortality, rooting depth, evapotranspiration, and the fire thresholds that can flip dense forest to open, flammable savanna.The conversation moves from ocean drivers—El Niño and a record‑hot North Atlantic—into the messy human layer: man‑made fires, land grabbing, and organised crime accelerating degradation even as official deforestation drops. We get specific on numbers that matter: 120–200 billion tonnes of carbon stored; around 20 billion tonnes of water recycled daily; record droughts in 2005, 2010, 2015–16, and 2023–24; and why crossing 2°C makes saving the basin dramatically harder. Cox presses the global need to phase out fossil fuels quickly; Nobre details the Arc of Restoration, a plan to recover vast degraded zones and build a bioeconomy of standing forests and flowing rivers grounded in indigenous knowledge and local enterprise.Hope here isn’t wishful—it’s strategic. Positive tipping points in human systems are already forming as renewables undercut fossil power and social norms shift. We talk practical climate justice: what high‑emitting nations can fund now, how to confront misinformation and political headwinds, and why indigenous stewardship is indispensable for biodiversity, carbon, and water security. If we pair rapid decarbonisation with zero deforestation, fire prevention, and large‑scale restoration, the Amazon can remain a cooling engine rather than a carbon source. Connect with us!

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Positive Tipping Points Special! A 7-episode special series on the road to COP30 in Belem, with guest host Liz Courtney. What if the smartest way to cut climate risk is to make progress contagious? We sit down with Professor Tim Lenton to decode climate and positive tipping points—how small, smart pushes can trigger self-propelling change in technology, policy, and social norms. Tim unpacks why systems slow down before they snap, and how that same nonlinear logic powers breakthroughs: Norway’s EV market tipping to ~95% battery electric sales through activist-driven policy, learning curves that crushed battery costs and boosted range, and solar’s decades-long price freefall that’s delivering the cheapest electricity in history. We dig into green hydrogen for zero‑emissions steel, green ammonia shipping that cleans port air, and synthetic aviation fuels that cut contrail warming—plus the policy mandates that can push these solutions over the edge so scale takes care of the rest.Connect with us!

Vicki Mullen, Senior Consultant at Finity Consulting, takes us deep into the world of mandatory climate disclosure as Australian corporations transform what might seem like a compliance burden into a strategic advantage.Drawing on her 30 years of experience across public policy and financial services, Vicki explains why viewing climate reporting as an exercise in "business imagination" creates unexpected opportunities. She explains how the Australian Sustainability Reporting Standards require companies to test their resilience against different climate futures through scenario analysis – examining both a rapid transition to net-zero and a "hothouse" scenario well above 2°C warming.The conversation reveals how insurance companies have functioned as early warning systems for climate impacts, with the increasing severity and frequency of natural disasters already affecting their business models. Vicki shares practical advice for companies navigating potential legal pitfalls between greenwashing and "greenhushing," emphasising the importance of backing climate commitments with robust data and meaningful plans.With renewable energy now approaching 50% of the national electricity mix and nearly half of standalone homes equipped with rooftop solar, this transformation creates enormous potential for innovative products and services, highlighting why forward-thinking companies are responding to shifts in consumer preferences.Whether you're in a large corporation preparing your first Sustainability disclosure, a smaller company trying to understand your reporting obligations, or a sustainability professional driving change within your organisation, this episode offers invaluable insights on turning climate reporting from a compliance exercise into a commercial advantage.Listen now to discover how breaking down organisational silos and fostering cross-functional collaboration can help your business not just survive but thrive in a climate-transformed economy.Vicki's recommendation for our listeners:Funny Weather: Art in an EmergencyOlivia LaingConnect with us!

Struggling to make sustainability strategically relevant to your business? Double materiality might be the missing piece you need.Sydney Straver, Managing Director at &Bloom, joins us to unpack this powerful framework that's transforming how businesses approach sustainability. Drawing from her extensive European experience, Sydney explains how double materiality bridges the gap between sustainability efforts and financial performance – making it easier to get buy-in from even the most skeptical executives."Double materiality is effectively the cornerstone of a good sustainability strategy," Sydney explains. By examining both how your organisation impacts stakeholders (impact materiality) and how sustainability issues affect your enterprise value (financial materiality), companies can identify 5-6 key priorities that truly matter.The beauty of this approach? It's not about creating additional work but providing a framework to organise what you're already doing.Whether you're just starting your sustainability journey or looking to take your existing efforts to the next level, this episode provides the roadmap you need to move beyond compliance toward strategic value creation.Ready to start embedding sustainability into your business strategy?

Filmmaker Damon Gameau has made a career of turning complex sustainability challenges into compelling, hopeful narratives. After his groundbreaking documentary 2040 inspired climate action worldwide, he noticed something extraordinary while visiting hundreds of schools – today's children possess remarkable knowledge about environmental issues yet lack meaningful platforms to share their insights beyond protest movements.Future Council follows eight remarkable young people from different countries as they board a yellow school bus for an epic European road trip to challenge and collaborate with executives from major corporations including Nestle, ING, and Decathlon. What unfolds is a fascinating journey that reveals the unique value children bring to sustainability conversations – their "unbridled, refreshing creativity" and "much-needed morality" that cuts through corporate complexity.The film captures the evolution of these interactions beautifully. Beginning with confrontational energy at their first corporate meeting, the children gradually develop a more collaborative approach as they recognize that behind corporate facades are human beings often trapped within complex systems. By the final meeting, they've discovered their superpower: offering fresh perspectives that even sustainability professionals hadn't considered. As Gameau explains, "I don't think we need the children to solve all the problems...but they do have something to offer right now."Beyond documenting these meetings, Future Council addresses the growing epidemic of eco-anxiety affecting 60% of Australian children. Rather than avoiding difficult emotions, the film shows young people processing their climate grief and channeling it into meaningful action – a powerful model for viewers of all ages. The film also introduces the concept of "Groth" (growth without wisdom) to explain our flawed economic architecture in accessible terms.Most remarkably, Future Council has already catalyzed real-world change, with several featured corporations committing to ongoing work with council members. Australian retailer Officeworks is now collaborating with them to design regenerative products, with profits partially funding nature restoration. These tangible outcomes demonstrate that bringing children into corporate conversations isn't just about making them feel heard – it's about tapping into unique perspectives that generate novel solutions adults might never consider.Ready to experience a refreshing approach to climate action that will leave you feeling both challenged and hopeful? Watch Future Council and discover how intergenerational collaboration might be the key to addressing our greatest ecological challenges.Connect with us!

Comedy might just be our most powerful tool in the fight against climate inaction. When data and spreadsheets fail to move hearts and minds, laughter creates an opening for truth to slip through defenses and take root.Award-winning podcaster and media strategist Dan Ilic joins The Green Fix to share his remarkable journey from viral video creator to climate activist extraordinaire. Long before digital content could "go viral" with the tap of a share button, Dan was pioneering comedic climate communication, demonstrating how humor can distill complex information into "memetic versions of truth" that stick with audiences in ways data never could.The conversation takes us behind the scenes of his most audacious stunt – crowdfunding billboards in Times Square that publicly shamed the Australian government's climate policies during COP26. What began as a modest $12,000 campaign for a single billboard in Glasgow snowballed into a six-figure international media sensation that ultimately pressured then-Prime Minister Scott Morrison to attend the climate summit he'd planned to skip. "If I could do one thing, making Scott Morrison go to COP was the one thing I could do for the movement," Dan reflects.For sustainability leaders navigating corporate environments, Dan offers refreshingly practical advice: show your actual emissions reduction work rather than relying on consultants or generic ESG messaging. "Find meaningful and tangible ways to do great work, reduce actual emissions, and then talk about it authentically," he urges, suggesting companies could even introduce their own "carbon tax" by charging polluting clients differently or offering incentives for climate action.Ready to infuse your sustainability communication with humor that cuts through the noise?

The technological revolution transforming Australian businesses carries a hidden environmental cost that few sustainability practitioners fully understand. In this revealing conversation with digital sustainability expert Tim Prosser, we uncover the substantial climate impact of our digital lives and explore how organisations can address this overlooked aspect of their sustainability strategy.Did you know that 40% of an individual's carbon budget aligned with a 1.5-degree target is consumed by digital services? Or that by 2030, data centres could require 8% of Australia's power grid – equivalent to the entire steel industry? These startling figures highlight why sustainability practitioners must engage deeply with their technology counterparts as mandatory climate reporting approaches.Tim draws fascinating parallels between the evolution of IT and sustainability functions within organisations. "About 10-15 years ago, there was a real flip where organisations went from having an overall strategy supported by an IT function to being an IT company in a specific sector," he explains. "I see an opportunity for sustainability to go through that transition."We explore how the AI revolution is complicating sustainability efforts, with major tech companies already reporting missed climate targets due to energy-intensive AI deployments. Yet Tim also reveals the tremendous opportunity: research shows 84% of technology professionals prefer sustainability outcomes over cost-cutting measures, representing an army of potential champions waiting to be engaged.For sustainability practitioners preparing for mandatory reporting, Tim provides practical guidance on establishing accurate technology emissions baselines, addressing e-waste challenges, and initiating productive collaborations with IT departments. He outlines common pitfalls in emissions calculations and explains how to move beyond spend-based approaches toward more meaningful measurements.This episode offers essential knowledge for any sustainability professional looking to develop a comprehensive climate strategy that addresses the full environmental impact of their organisation's operations.

What happens when you trade corporate success for climate advocacy? For Liz Courtney, award-winning filmmaker responsible for 55 climate documentaries, it began with a crucial "sliding door moment" – choosing courage over fear to join an Antarctic expedition despite her doubts. That decision launched an extraordinary career documenting climate systems across the globe, from dog sledding across Greenland's melting ice sheets to researching atmospheric microbes in Antarctica.Liz shares her profound insights on effective climate communication, developed through collaborations with leading scientists worldwide. She's identified that successful science communication requires simplification, relatable analogies, connecting research to local impacts, and showing how data can drive better planning. Her experience reveals how sustainability professionals can bridge the gap between complex environmental science and everyday understanding, making climate issues accessible and actionable for broader audiences.Connect with us!

When it comes to advancing sustainability, we often focus on educating people or creating elaborate strategies—but what if the secret lies in simply making sustainable choices the easiest ones to make?Andreas Ludwig, a behavioural scientist with a fascinating journey from the former East Germany through positions at McKinsey, Accenture Digital, and most recently as Principal Behavioural Scientist with CBA Sydney, reveals how understanding actual human behaviour can transform sustainability initiatives.Growing up in a country that disappeared almost overnight gave Ludwig a unique perspective on systems change and human adaptation. This experience fuelled his skepticism toward traditional economic models that assume rational behaviour, leading him to discover the experimental work of behavioural scientists who demonstrated the predictable irrationality of human decision-making.What makes this conversation particularly valuable for sustainability practitioners is Ludwig's practical insights into implementation. While corporations spend millions on sustainability strategies, they often neglect the critical "last mile"—where human behaviour determines success or failure. Take household electrification: banks create green financing products assuming money is the main barrier, when many customers actually struggle most with knowing which installer to trust or what technology to choose.The power of behavioural science lies in designing "choice architecture" that makes sustainable options effortless. Consider how default settings dramatically impact outcomes—from organ donation rates to energy plans—without restricting freedom. Ludwig also explains why audience segmentation matters, with research showing only 10% of Australians are environmentally motivated, while 60% want to understand "what's in it for me."For professionals without behavioural science teams, Ludwig offers accessible starting points: adopt the behavioural science "lens" through books like "Atomic Habits," implement simple A/B testing, and recognise that small interventions shifting behaviour even 10-20% represent significant wins. For personal habit formation, focus on making first steps extremely easy and creating "habit stacks" that combine enjoyable activities with beneficial ones.Ready to apply behavioural science to your sustainability initiatives? Listen now to discover how understanding human decision-making can help you design interventions that actually work.Connect with us!
