Carbon Equity focuses on investments in climate technology solutions with a vision of a carbon net-zero economy. Through different investment portfolios, it enables investors to contribute to a sustainable future - a true company with impact. As we meet at their office in Amsterdam we speak about what drove the co-founders to start this company; we discuss the challenges and opportunities and talk about interesting technologies that can help us tackle the climate issue. There are so many fantastic initiatives out there… how can we all make an impact? Well, one thing is where you invest your money and what you do with your time. As we work over 80,000 hours in our life, thinking about how you can make an impact can make a meaningful difference. Inspiring things to talk about. Listen to the podcast and get inspired too!

In this podcast Regional Director Asia Bushra Zulfiqar speaks about why girls get married early; what can be done, what is being done to address this issue and the challenges Terre des Hommes encounters to arrive at a child-marriage-free Asia. Globally, each year, 12 million girls are married before the age of 18. This is 23 girls every minute and one girl every three seconds. These are staggering numbers... Listen to the efforts made to improve the lives of young girls. Besides that, we also speak about Diversity & Inclusion in the workplace. Music by Merlijn Angad Gaur / Musical Minutes

In this podcast, we meet with Olufemi Elias, former Registrar (United Nations Assistant Secretary-General) of the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT). Today, he works as an independent Judge for ‘Administrative Tribunals’ and a visiting Professor in International Law at Queen Mary, University of London. Amongst others, we discuss his fascination with the international legal system; he shares his advice with those who want to work within the Legal frameworks of international organisations; and still being a musician himself, we discuss the importance of being who you are, and keeping doing the things that inspire you that are not part of your UN career.

In this episode of our Impactpool podcast series, we meet with Paolo Bernasconi, the Director of Human Resources of the OSCE. We discuss quite a few topics that have to do with attitudes and behaviours in the workplace. In the discussion, Paolo speaks about the importance of vulnerability: we speak about HR being a safe space and the importance it plays in the individual growth of people. We also discuss how important it is to engage with those who are sceptical about embracing diversity, in order to make the workplace inclusive, and obviously, we do not want to miss the opportunity to ask Paolo about his view on a successful application and how to prepare for an interview, and the importance of carpooling when preparing for an interview :-) Music by Merlijn Angad Gaur / Musical Minutes
