In this episode Andrew talks to Emma Howard Boyd CBE, the Chair of the Green Finance Institute and former Chair of England’s environmental regulator, about green finance and preparing for the coming climate storm.

“I think it’s about people who are focusing on solutions, who are focusing on a partnership approach, a collaborative approach, and who are listening.”

This decade is the most important in terms of the shift that needs to happen if we’re to meet our climate targets. And Emma Howard Boyd has been at the forefront of that here in the UK, with an extensive career in green finance.

From 2016 until September 2022 she was the Chair of England’s environmental regulator. She’s also the Chair of the Green Finance Institute and a Global Ambassador for the UN’s Race to Zero and Race to Resilience campaigns.

She talks to Andrew about the need for pace, boldness, kindness and compassion – and what’s on her leadership radar.
