$1.3 Trillion in Climate Risk and Your Business Is Exposed

This week's sustainability news is packed with stories that will affect how businesses operate for the next decade. We cover the UK's world-leading wind generation record, why the clean tech market is heading for $3 trillion, and what AI agents going rogue means for your business.

I break down the top 10 sustainability stories of the week, from the UK's new Future Homes Standard to climate risk hitting listed firms for $1.3 trillion this year. We also look at why Google says your data security needs to be quantum-proof by 2029, and how social media just had its Big Tobacco moment.

If you work in sustainability, lead a business, or want to understand the forces reshaping how companies operate, this is your weekly briefing.

About the Podcast

Will Richardson (51toCarbonZero.com)
An Insight into sustainability news, my life and the experiences I faced in running previous businesses.
I am trying to change the way we work, the relationship we have our work and the world around us. We live in a complicated world with a lot of noise. But we need to be making decisions now and those decisions will have ramifications for decades. Will we always make the right decisions; no. But are we doing it for the right reasons I would like to say yes to that - speaking from my heart. This is an audible blog on what I am doing and what we as a business are doing. Some could say it is self promotion, it probably is a bit, I am trying to change the world and be a part of the solution BUT it is also my way to articulate where I am and keep a log of it for my future self and maybe others will learn from my mistakes as I am sure there will be loads!!
