In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we sit down with Dr. Ma Jun to discuss sustainable finance trends in China and beyond.

Dr. Ma is the former Chief Economist for China's central bank, the People's Bank of China, and was a lead architect of the country's first green finance guidelines and green bond standard. He also served as Co-Chair of the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group. Today, his roles include President of the Institute of Finance and Sustainability, a Beijing-based think tank; Chairman and President of the Hong Kong Green Finance Association; and Chairman of the Capacity-building Alliance of Sustainable Investment (CASI).

In the interview, Dr. Ma explains why sustainable finance has grown significantly in China and globally, and he highlights examples of how green technology can be scalable. In China, for example, he notes that 60% of car sales are electric vehicles.

"Fundamentally, I think the momentum is there because a lot of green activities have become economically viable," he says. "They are no longer slogans and for cosmetic PR reasons, but they are actually making money."

We also hear how geopolitical conflicts are impacting energy transition strategies. "Renewable energy is [the] ultimate form of energy security," Dr. Ma says. "The energy crisis gives a very strong reason for speeding up the development of the renewable sector, and therefore, finance has to follow."

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we sit down with former US Secretary of State John Kerry on the sidelines of the 7th annual Building Bridges conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

Secretary Kerry was a key architect of the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and in 2021 he became the inaugural US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate. In the interview, he discusses his role at previous UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties gatherings and his hopes for COP31, which will take place in Türkiye in November 2026.

He tells us why he remains optimistic despite the challenges facing planetary and ocean health and the likely overshoot of the Paris Agreement's 1.5-degree C global warming limit.

At the same time, Secretary Kerry calls for greater speed and urgency in addressing climate change and decarbonizing the economy.

"We have to get the scale way up there," he says. "We're just not moving as fast as we know we can move."

Secretary Kerry says conflict in the Middle East has further solidified the business case for diversifying away from dependence on oil and gas to alternative energy sources. And he points to technologies that are already available to provide clean and abundant energy, even in some historically high-emitting sectors. He describes how Galvanize — the global asset manager where he serves as Co-Executive Chair — is incorporating these technologies into its investment strategy.

"What we recognize is that the economy has already made its own decision," he says. "The economy writ large is moving in the direction of this new energy base."

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we sit down on the sidelines of Climate Week NYC with GE Vernova's Chief Corporate Officer and Chief Sustainability Officer, Roger Martella.

GE Vernova is a global energy company with power, electrification and wind segments that completed a spin-off from General Electric in 2024 with the goal of accelerating the energy transition.

Roger explains why electrification was a big theme at Climate Week NYC in 2026, and how the company is using electrification to support energy access and decarbonization goals around the world — including in underserved communities and the Global South.

"A lot of discussion this week is: How do we electrify the planet so people have more access to affordable, reliable, sustainable electricity," Roger says. "The more we put investments onto the grid, the more we're electrifying the planet, the more we're helping decarbonize."

Keeping up with the pace and scale of the world's electricity demands will require a growing energy workforce and robust public-public partnerships, Roger says. He describes a new level of optimism at Climate Week NYC in 2026 — alongside a focus on policy durability and finding common ground.

"Policy cycles come and go. We've all been through Groundhog Day, where we're in favor of one thing, and then we're against it later," he says. "So, a lot of discussion this week of: How do we protect the core, how do we come to things that everyone agrees on."

We conducted this interview at The Nest Campus in New York City, where the All Things Sustainable is an official media partner.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, the new CEO of Conservation International explains how protecting and restoring nature is key to solving the challenge of climate change.

"Nature is actually our best ally to address climate change," Dr. Sebastian Troëng tells us at his first Climate Week NYC since being named CEO in February.

Conservation International is a nonprofit that partners with communities, governments and businesses to help protect and restore nature while improving human wellbeing. In the interview, Sebastian explains how companies can articulate the economic value of nature in a way that resonates with corporate decisionmakers.

"What boardrooms need to understand is if they want to continue to have a revenue flow in the future, they need to contribute to conserve that nature that allows them to have a business model," he says.

Sebastian outlines examples of where he's seen nature-based solutions scale effectively — and why he sees a big runway for further investment from the private sector. He also explains why constrained public budgets are creating a more conducive environment for collaboration.

"We're seeing a greater appetite for coming up with innovative ways of combining government support, private investment, philanthropy to collectively achieve greater impact," Sebastian says. "People realize that the challenges the planet is facing are too big for any one sector or any one organization to solve on their own."

As part of a multi-year philanthropic grants program the S&P Global Foundation launched in 2024, Conservation International is a Signature Grant Partner in the focus area of creating environmental resilience and will receive $2.5 million over five years.

In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we cover Climate Week NYC key takeaways with a guest who brings together perspectives from climate science and the financial sector: Dr. Sarah Kapnick.

Sarah is Global Head of Climate Advisory at the largest bank in the US, JPMorganChase. Before joining the bank, she was Chief Scientist for the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA.

In the episode, we unpack how the business and finance communities are responding to volatility from climate change, geopolitical conflicts and supply chain disruption. Sarah explains why a powerful El Niño forecast has put food security in the spotlight at Climate Week NYC.

Across these topics, Sarah says she's increasingly putting resilience front and center in conversations with clients. "You can't just build resilience for what you've seen in the past," she says. "You need to be building resilience to what we know will come in the future."

Sarah says events like summer's heat waves have led to increased awareness of the physical impacts of climate change. "It's moving from being theoretical to actually physical and financial," she tells us. "And that is what I think is going to really drive action and capital deployment in the coming years."

In this special Climate Week NYC episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we sit down with Josh Parker, Head of Sustainability at technology giant NVIDIA.

NVIDIA develops chips, systems and software that power the world's AI infrastructure. It is also the world's largest company with a market capitalization of more than $5.1 trillion as of September 2026.

In the interview, Josh outlines ways AI can help advance climate innovation and accelerate the energy transition. "More intelligence hopefully leads to better decision-making, better policies and better ways to tackle climate change," he says.

He also acknowledges public concerns about AI's impacts on energy consumption, water use and jobs. "People have legitimate questions about the impacts of data centers," Josh says. "It's really important for us and for our partners who are actually building the data centers, I think, to be proactive and transparent."

Climate Week NYC is expected to convene more than 100,000 attendees for more than 1,000 planned events across New York City Sept. 20-27. Throughout the week we're bringing you special daily episodes featuring executives from around the world and across industries — including financial institutions.

In today's episode, we sit down with Priscilla Sims Brown, President and CEO of Amalgamated Bank. Manhattan-based Amalgamated is a socially responsible bank with a network of branches in New York City, Washington DC and San Francisco. The bank is a certified B Corp, which means it meets certain social, environmental and governance impact standards.

Priscilla tells us how Amalgamated is working to make climate finance affordable and accessible to low- and moderate-income urban and rural communities, including farmers, as part of the bank's $2.2 billion in lending for climate solutions.

She also outlines how Amalgamated is leveraging AI. The bank has a pilot partnership with major AI company Anthropic to address cybersecurity and fraud prevention, and also uses AI to upskill employees.

"We think a lot about the workforce in this moment where AI is so controversial," Priscilla says. "How do we get ahead of the curve, look around the corner, and see how we can upskill those jobs?"

We sat down with Priscilla at The Nest Campus, where the All Things Sustainable podcast is an official media partner.

Climate Week NYC is underway, and the All Things Sustainable podcast is on the ground talking to leaders from across industries and around the world — including the global investor community. In today's episode, we sit down with the head of an organization that has about 5,000 members representing around $139 trillion dollars in assets under management: The Principles for Responsible Investment, or PRI.

PRI was set up with the UN and the world's largest institutional investors in 2006 to drive responsible investment. Twenty years later, the organization is working with many parts of the financial ecosystem — including asset owners, investment managers and service providers — to incorporate environmental, social and governance issues into investment practice.

To learn how these stakeholders are adapting their investment strategies in a tumultuous year, we talk to PRI's interim CEO, Cambria Allen-Ratzlaff.

Cambria is nearing one year in the role, and she says the companies that sign on to PRI's principles are focused on resilience in 2026.

"It encapsulates both the capacity needed by investment portfolios to withstand the pressures of policy uncertainty and geopolitical tension, but also the resolve required of responsible investment professionals amid the changing environment that we're in," Cambria says.

Looking ahead, Cambria outlines PRI's roadmap for the remainder of 2026 and beyond — including what to expect at the organization's flagship PRI in Person conference in Amsterdam Oct. 13-15.

"The practice of responsible investment is still facing enormous scrutiny, and we want to make sure we stay the course," Cambria says. "At the end of the day, responsible investment is good investment."

Climate Week NYC is expected to convene more than 100,00 attendees for more than 1,000 events across New York City Sept. 20-27. We're kicking off our special daily podcast episodes with a topic that will feature heavily in the week's agenda — energy and climate security.

The Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts have reshaped the way the world thinks about energy security. At the same time, climate change is contributing to more frequent and severe extreme weather events — with big implications for national security.

"You kind of have this convergence of a change in the energy security story at the same time that the impacts of climate change are really coming home to roost," says our guest in today's episode, Erin Sikorsky.

Erin is Director of The Center for Climate and Security, a research institute focused on tackling systemic climate and ecological security risks. The center is part of The Council on Strategic Risks, a nonpartisan security policy think tank, and Erin is speaking at Climate Week's opening ceremony Sept. 21.

In the episode, Erin explains why the security framing "will be front and center" during Climate Week NYC.

"You can't absorb attacks on your electrical grid, for example, or you can't absorb attacks on your food system or your water supply if those things are already strained because of extreme weather events," Erin says.

Euronext Sustainability Week wraps up Sept. 18, and in this special episode to end the week, the All Things Sustainable podcast is talking to Triodos Bank CEO Marcel Zuidam.

Triodos is a Netherlands-based sustainable bank that co-founded the Global Alliance for Banking on Values. Marcel explains how GABV members are working to finance positive economic, social and environmental impact. And he outlines Triodos Bank's focus on financing five interlinked transition themes related to food systems, resources, energy, society and wellbeing.

"For us, banking is not neutral. Every decision to lend or invest is also a decision about the economy that we want to support," Marcel says.

Euronext operates stock exchanges that list more than 1,800 companies across eight European markets. Marcel took on the CEO role in 2025, shortly before Triodos listed on Euronext's Amsterdam exchange. In the episode, he tells us what has happened since that listing during a year when the impacts of climate change are increasingly visible and geopolitical conflicts continue to dominate headlines.

"For us, resilience means that economies and societies can absorb shocks without pushing the costs onto vulnerable people or future generations," he says. "It's not separate from economic security or strategic autonomy. It's essential to both."

Euronext Sustainability Week runs Sept. 14-18 under the title 'Building resilience in a changing world.' All Things Sustainable is the official podcast and in bonus episodes throughout this week, we're talking to CEOs of Euronext-listed companies to understand what that looks like in practice.

In today's episode, we talk with EnergyVision Founder and CEO Maarten Michielssens. EnergyVision is a Belgian renewable energy company listed on Euronext's Brussels exchange, and Maarten outlines the company's goal to make it easier for customers to transition to renewable energy. He describes a business model — producing renewable energy from solar, wind and hydropower and combining it with battery storage, affordable energy contracts and charging networks for electric vehicles — that he says helps keep electricity prices predictable for customers.

"More than 75% of the energy that we sell comes from our own assets. These assets don't respond to market prices, so we can keep our price stable," he says.

This stability has become increasingly relevant in the face of the Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts. For most customers, Maarten says the decision to transition away from fossil fuels comes down to cost.

"The combination of renewable energy — which is the cheapest energy — and this obsession for customer satisfaction means that we scale fast, that we are profitable," he says.
