What to expect from carbon markets in 2025
Carbon markets will be a big focus of sustainability discussions in 2025 after making headlines at COP29, the UN climate conference that took place in Baku, Azerbaijan in late 2024. In this week’s ESG Insider podcast, we dive into the topic of carbon markets with coverage from the sidelines of the S&P Global Commodity Insights Global Carbon Markets Conference. We sit down with Andrea Bonzanni, International Policy Director at the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA). Andrea talks about the outlook for carbon markets after parties at COP29 finalized key rules and guidelines for international carbon trading under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement on climate change. We speak to Marieke Franssen, Managing Director and Head of Commodity Carry Solutions at French investment bank Natixis, who says generating confidence in the market will be a key driver of demand. “Companies need to be incentivized to buy, and they need to be given the confidence that the credits that they're buying can be put to use,” she tells us. We also talk to: Chris Slater, CEO and Founder of Oka, The Carbon Insurance Company, who explains how the insurance sector can contribute to the development of the carbon markets; Linda Rivera Macedo, Head of Safeguards and Sustainable Development at Calyx Global, who discusses the role of carbon ratings agencies in building confidence in the market; and Robin Pedroza, Head of Sustainability Transformation at thyssenkrupp Materials Services, part of German industrial and steel giant thyssenkrupp. Robin talks to us about the impact the EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) is having on the steel industry.

2025 outlook: What to expect from energy transition, climate and CERAWeek
What’s ahead for 2025? In the first ESG Insider podcast episode of the new year, we’re talking to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Daniel Yergin about the outlook for the energy transition in a landscape of geopolitical unrest and climate change. “The global political situation is very unsettled, and that’s going to reverberate on energy transition, on sustainability and on energy markets,” says Daniel, who is Vice Chairman of S&P Global and Chairman of CERAWeek, the annual S&P Global conference that has been described as “the Davos of energy.” Daniel leads the event’s Executive Conference and tells us what to expect when energy, climate and technology leaders from the public and private sectors convene in Houston, Texas March 10-14 for CERAWeek 2025. In 2025 many climate and energy transition conversations will center around emerging technologies and solutions. This is the focus of the other half of the CERAWeek conference, known as the Innovation Agora, and we talk to Atul Arya to learn more about this landscape and what’s ahead. Atul is Senior Vice President and Chief Energy Strategist at S&P Global Commodity Insights, where he hosts the CERAWeek Podcast. “Our goal with Agora is to move the conversation, move the technologies, and ultimately help companies solve the climate problem while meeting the energy demands,” Atul tells us.

How a nonprofit is convening competitors to make travel sustainable
As many of our ESG Insider listeners take trips to visit family and friends this holiday season, we’re focusing our final episode of 2024 on sustainable travel. We sit down for an interview with Sally Davey, the CEO of Travalyst. This is a nonprofit that convenes a global coalition of some of the biggest names in travel and technology to make credible, consistent sustainability information mainstream and to help people make more informed travel choices. Sally talks to us about the direction of travel for sustainable tourism — including the challenge of getting competitors to work together toward a common climate goal. When Travalyst was founded in 2019 by Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, Sally says everyone thought the organization’s mission was “crazy.” “Everybody said: ‘You will never do this. This will never happen,’” Sally recalls. “‘The online travel sector in particular is fiercely competitive and these folks don't work together. And even if they did, they're not interested in sustainability. And even if they were, they won't be able to get the data to the mainstream.’” Five years later, she says, “we've proven out all of those points.” This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.

How to make food systems more sustainable
The holiday season is a time to gather around the table for meals with family and friends. In today's episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we're exploring how to make food systems more sustainable with Alexander Gillett, Co-founder and CEO of HowGood, a food and personal care product research and data company. Alexander discusses challenges in measuring the emissions footprint of food products and describes how factors like climate change and regulation are driving changes in the sector. He also talks about how the current food labeling system is confusing for consumers trying to make sustainable purchasing decisions. Alexander says that making food systems more sustainable requires a holistic approach that goes beyond just tackling carbon emissions. "If we create a collapse within the food system because of loss of biodiversity or soil health, but we've solved carbon, we're still going to have massive problems feeding the planet," he says.

Women in Leadership: Talking energy transition with the US Department of Energy
Today we bring you the final installment in our Women in Leadership series of the ESG Insider podcast. Over the past two years, we’ve spoken to women CEOs and leaders from across industries and around the world to understand their path to the top. In the episode, we talk to Dr. Vanessa Chan, Chief Commercialization Officer at the US Department of Energy and Director of the Office of Technology Transitions. She was also just named to the TIME100 Climate list of the 100 most influential climate leaders for 2024. In the interview, Dr. Chan talks about her outlook on energy transition technologies, the unlikely path that led her to her current role and her advice for people earlier in their careers. “It's really easy to follow the status quo and ... stay within a box, but that's not really where change and impact comes from,” she says. “If someone had told me five years ago that I would be a senior government official, I'd be like ‘there's no way, that is not on my vision board.’ But I said yes to this opportunity.” Listen to our full Women in Leadership podcast series here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/women-in-leadership Read research from S&P Global Sustainable1 on gender diversity in leadership here: https://www.spglobal.com/esg/insights/featured/special-editorial/women-in-leadership-what-s-the-holdup This piece was published by S&P Global Sustainable1, a part of S&P Global.
