Sustainable Edge: The climate race: Business, innovation & the road ahead – with Simon Mundy, Financial Times

In this episode

Simon Mundy brings a global perspective on the urgent realities of climate change and the business opportunities emerging in response, built from a long career covering the sector's development. This discussion is ideal for business leaders navigating a world where sustainability is no longer a compliance commitment, but a competitive imperative.

Learn about:

  • The real climate front line – What Simon witnessed in communities from India to Greenland and why climate change is already reshaping economies.

  • The collapse of the ESG bubble – Why major corporations and financial institutions are retreating from net-zero alliances—and why that may be a good thing.

  • Cutting through the green noise – How businesses can move beyond empty sustainability pledges and focus on real impact.

  • The US-China sustainability race – Why the battle for leadership in green technology is shaping global markets.

  • The business case for climate action – How companies are leveraging carbon accounting, risk management, and innovation to drive profitability and resilience.
