CONVERSATIONS ON CLIMATE

In this episode of Conversations on Climate, Chris Caldwell sits down with Nick Molden, the CEO of Emissions Analytics, to discuss the dark side of electric vehicles (EVs), the importance of data integrity, and the future of transportation. Nick, a self-proclaimed data-driven environmentalist, shares his insights on the parallels between the dieselgate scandal and the current climate change debate, and the challenges of balancing human progress with environmental sustainability. They also delve into the complexities of tire emissions, the benefits and drawbacks of synthetic fuels, and the potential of nuclear power as a solution to the CO2 problem. This thought-provoking conversation aims to answer the question Why Electric Vehicles Are NOT The Future (Yet)? and the answers will leave you questioning the assumptions you have about the future of transportation and the role of data in shaping environmental policy. Stay tuned in to learn more!   …and what's happened for 30 years is we've offshored CO2 production… it's just being produced in other countries. We have moved things progressively offshore in this perverse world where you set something up as a metric which you know is not true. You lead to perverse outcomes, and it's exactly the same as diesel. You set up a test, a measure which you knew to be wrong. I have no doubt if if the European authorities were sufficiently dogged about it, they could force every vehicle on the road to be electric. Question is, at what price? So if we were to scrap all the environmental things today, it would be great for today and terrible for people tomorrow…   Highlights: 00:02 Challenges in sourcing uranium and handling its depletion and waste. 02:30 Environmental progress through technological advance 07:26 Uncertainty about legality of defeat devices in Asia 09:47 Electric vehicles are not zero emission 14:12 Europe's regulatory approach is driven by politics and industry ties 16:45 Data collection and analysis challenges in complex systems 20:52 Tires pose complex problems for all vehicles 22:47 Tires from cars contribute to global environmental pollution. 26:40 Properly pricing externalities can lead to more environmentally friendly choices 28:39 Paying a proper price generates revenue for investing in new technologies or compensating those affected. 32:33 Focus shifting towards reducing environmental impact in manufacturing phase 34:41 Nuclear power can be used to create synthetic liquid fuels. 38:20 Europe's strong push towards electric vehicles may face challenges in reality 40:22 UK manufacturing industry requests £7.7 billion in subsidies for 270,000 electric vehicle sales. 44:29 Transition to 100% electric vehicles requires massive investment and is currently unpalatable. 46:27 Shifting from private cars to public transport may require a greater increase in public transport provision. 50:25 Impact of electrification on European Auto industry competitiveness 52:20 China's advantage in EV supply chains to Europeans 56:18 Offshored CO2 production leading to misleading CO2 reduction claims. 58:24 Setting up inaccurate metrics leads to perverse incentives and undesirable outcomes.   References: https://www.emissionsanalytics.com/management-team https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-molden-9958331/recent-activity/all/?trk=author-info__article-link   This episode of Conversations on Climate is a podcast brought to you in association with UNITED RENEWABLES and recorded at Imperial College London.

In this episode of Conversations on Climate, host Chris Caldwell of United Renewables sits down with Glada Lahn, Senior Research Fellow at Chatham House, to discuss the intersection of climate change, water scarcity, and migration in the Middle East. Glada shares her personal journey of focusing her career on the Middle East, initially drawn to the region's politics and Islamic art and architecture. She discusses her work on oil companies in the Middle East and how it sparked her interest in the issue of climate change and its impact on the oil and gas sector. The conversation delves into the importance of water as a shared resource and the potential for conflict and collaboration between countries in managing it. Glada also highlights the challenges of addressing water scarcity in the context of the Middle East, where many countries are highly dependent on food imports and are experiencing rapid urbanization. The conversation touches on the links between geopolitics and the environment and the impact of climate change on migration patterns. Glada emphasises the importance of considering the interconnectedness of these issues when addressing the challenges facing the Middle East. This episode provides a unique perspective on the complex issues of water scarcity, migration, and climate change in the Middle East, drawing on Glada's extensive experience and expertise in the region.   "...there's no easy answer to this to improve things in a genuine way for the long term...not just papering over the cracks, because that won't work." "Water... is a shared resource that is extremely valuable. It's essentially more valuable than oil. But it can also spill across borders. If countries blame the country next door for the water shortage...and you've seen that between Iran and Afghanistan lately. And yet these rivers or these or shared aquifers, they represent really important opportunity for collaboration."   Don't miss this insightful conversation on Conversations on Climate!   Highlights:  00:00 Passion for the Middle East sparked by art and politics 02:30 Early passion for the Middle East and a transition into a focus on oil and gas energy and climate issues 07:19 Evolution of sustainability at Chatham House 09:57 Challenges in the current global systems 15:32 Shift towards renewable energy investments in Gulf countries 18:10 Reforming subsidies and phasing out oil and gas is challenging due to social and economic implications. 22:39 Flooding impact on poorer and richer countries. 24:34 Geopolitics, environment, and conflict are linked, with water scarcity being a key issue in the Middle East. 29:05 Water scarcity and competition leading to conflict 31:28 Addressing diplomatic issues is crucial for sustainable development. 36:01 Water scarcity worsened by pollution and energy-intensive desalination 38:17 Political issues hinder climate resilience projects 42:29 Engage with a diverse range of people for valuable insights.     REFERENCES: https://www.chathamhouse.org/about-us/our-people/glada-lahn https://uk.linkedin.com/in/glada-lahn-4b45031   This episode of Conversations on Climate is a podcast brought to you in association with UNITED RENEWABLES.

In this episode, host Chris Caldwell sits down with Alison Taylor, Clinical Associate Professor at NYU Stern School of Business and Executive Director of Ethical Systems. They discuss the crucial role businesses must play in tackling climate change and other environmental, social, and governance (ESG) challenges. Key topics covered: 💎 The importance of reconnecting ESG to ethical decision-making within companies 💎 How businesses can attract and retain younger employees who prioritize ESG issues 💎 The growing significance of reputation risk and the need for more compassionate relationships with stakeholders 💎 Practical steps businesses can take to embed sustainability and ethical practices into their operations.   "There is a camp on the right that says all this ESG stuff is just woke; it's just sell socialism; we need to go back to Milton Friedman. we need to go back to basics; we need to forget about all this stuff and start thinking about shareholder value. But really, good luck hiring or retaining anyone under 30 if you're going to make those kind of arguments." "If we have a more interactive, and compassionate relationship with younger generations, I think we'll make better decisions about how we run our corporations. Our metaphor for the corporation has been that it's like a self-interested, profit maximizing black box. People often say if a corporation was a person, they'd be a psychopath. An organization isn't a person. It's a social system." Alison Taylor provides valuable insights on the future of business and sustainability, underscoring the urgent need for companies to take a more proactive and responsible approach to addressing the climate crisis and related ESG concerns.   References: https://www.alisontaylor.co/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/followalisont/   This episode of Conversations on Climate is a podcast brought to you by UNITED RENEWABLES.

In this episode, we sit down with economist and author Professor Sir Dieter Helm to discuss his vision for a sustainable economy. Helm asks the question, "what would it look like to live in a sustainable economy?" and offers a framework for understanding and addressing climate change. He argues that the current narrative around net-zero is unrealistic and that a more balanced approach is needed, one that takes into account the realities of the global economy and the need for sustainable economic growth. Helm emphasises the importance of focusing on capital assets, rather than just flows, and of considering the intergenerational impacts of our actions. He also discusses the need for a new kind of economic thinking that takes into account the realities of the 21st century, rather than relying on outdated models from the 20th century. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on the challenges and opportunities of achieving a sustainable future.
