In this interview with TTU’s Founder and Co-Director Nik Gowing talks to Torsten Kallweit, the CTO for Bosch Climate Solutions, where he details remarkable achievements. Bosch managed met new emission targets earlier than planned. The board backed a dramatic scaling up of research projects with far more enthusiasm than expected. The resulting impact on staff commitment and enthusiasm has been remarkable. They were urged to “drive by themselves” with no fears of failure.

Jennifer Morgan talked to Nik Gowing 24 hours after a Dutch court ruled against Shell for violating human rights. In a remarkable ruling the judge ordered the hydrocarbon giant to cut emissions by 45% in the next nine years. Simultaneously, big investors forced Exxon to diversify its board and embrace sustainability. This was in defiance of the CEO’s appeal not to do so.

Institutional investors are dramatically increasing pressure on global energy giants because of their inadequate record on sustainability and in one 24 hour period, three oil giants were forced to confront publicly the scale of public disquiet about what they do and how they make their money says Sonja Laud.

Here we share an energising discussion between Nigel Topping, High Level Champion for Climate Action at COP26, and Rhian-Mari Thomas, CEO of the Green Finance Institute (GFI) on achieving Net Zero carbon emissions that are generating huge new commitments from finance. Talking Green is no longer ‘hot air’.

John Kerry is US President Biden’s Special Envoy on Climate. He uses every opportunity to hammer home in person his message to leaders. They are doing more to ensure the relentless rise in temperatures is capped. But it is nothing like what is needed. Addressing climate change even more radically is doable. It must now be part of every business and political decision.
