Working in sustainability is almost by definition a “career change”, given the recent nature of this area. As far as career moves go, however, few may feel as far apart as those of elite football and niche science.French international footballer Mathieu Flamini has done just that, co-founding GF Biochemicals at the end of his playing days. Football aficionados will remember Flamini’s time with the French national team, England’s Arsenal and Italy’s AC Milan.These days, his focus is on developing a

Lubomila says that Europe, rather than the US, is the best place to raise “quality” capital for climate companies.Much of this is due to investors’ closer familiarity with the challenges at hand, she says, as well as because of the ever-growing set of European regulations that are shaping the environmental, social, and

They are meant to help us transition to a greener economy but carbon offsets, and the markets where they are traded, are fraught with controversy.The quality of carbon credits is under scrutiny, as is their use by companies, which may purchase them in lieu of real action towards net zero. Consultancy McKinsey estimates that this space will be worth as much as $50bn by 2030.Used judiciously, carbon offsetting can channel funds towards activities that help prevent or remove CO2 emissions from the

London mayor Sadiq Khan wants more power and financing for cities so they can deal with and find solutions to climate change. Cities, after all, are responsible for over two thirds of emissions and local administrations, says Khan, are seen as the “doers”, while national governments are the “delayers”.He thinks that mayors should be part of the UN climate conference negotiations. In fact, COP27, which is wrapping up in Sharm el-Sheikh this week, will be the last without cities at the table, he
