Climate Hive presents What Do You Solve?

Spreading the Gospel of Water with Alexis Morgan - WWF Global Water Stewardship Lead

Water is everywhere — yet somehow absent from many of our biggest climate conversations. In this episode of Climate Hive: What Do You Solve?, we sit down with Alexis Morgan, Global Water Stewardship Lead at WWF (World Wildlife Fund), to explore why the future of climate resilience, business, food systems, AI infrastructure, and human wellbeing all depend on how we rethink our relationship with water. Alexis opens by challenging a critical idea: the shift from water management to water stewardship. What does stewardship actually mean? And how do companies, governments, communities, and industries work together at the scale needed to solve global water challenges? This conversation goes far beyond drought headlines and water scarcity statistics. We unpack: Why water may be the most underestimated climate issue How the global water crisis is already showing up around the world The hidden connections between water, food, ecosystems, and economic stability Why sediment matters more than most people realize The growing tension between AI data centers and water demand Why collaboration — not isolated action — is essential for meaningful impact How your personal “water story” shapes the way you see the world Alexis brings a rare systems-level perspective to one of the most urgent and misunderstood challenges of our time. If you care about climate, sustainability, business, innovation, or the future of society, this episode will change how you think about water. 🌍 Learn more about WWF’s water stewardship work: https://www.wwf.se/english/hm-partnership-results/water/ [https://www.wwf.se/english/hm-partnership-results/water/] Subscribe to What Do You Solve? for conversations with leaders solving the world’s toughest challenges through innovation, collaboration, and systems thinking.

Is Nature Our Next Infrastructure - Tripp Wall on Nature-Based Solutions

Climate Hive Show | What Do You Solve? Tripp Wall on Nature-Based Solutions, Water Risk, Carbon Markets & Regenerative Investment What happens when we finally start treating nature like critical infrastructure? In this episode of Climate Hive: What Do You Solve?, Kevin Drolet (Kdro) and Mike Higgins sit down with Tripp Wall, CEO & Co-Founder of Pantheon Regeneration and Founder of Trail Head Capital, for a wide-ranging conversation on the business case for nature-based solutions, water security, regenerative land stewardship, and the future of climate investing. Tripp shares why ecosystems are no longer a “nice-to-have” sustainability discussion — they are rapidly becoming central to corporate balance sheets, insurance markets, energy infrastructure, AI/data center growth, and long-term economic resilience. The discussion explores how Pantheon Regeneration is working to protect and restore critical carbon sinks including peatlands, while creating scalable investment opportunities that align ecological restoration with financial returns. We also dive deep into the growing global water crisis, environmental inflation, regenerative agriculture, and why investors and enterprises can no longer afford to ignore natural capital risk.

Making Impact: Carbon Markets with Bill Flederbach Jr. President & CEO of ClimeCo

What Do You Solve? with Bill Flederbach, President and CEO of ClimeCo 🌍 In this episode, we sit down with Bill Flederbach, founder of ClimeCo, for a wide-ranging conversation on the past, present, and future of the carbon market. Bill takes us back to the early days when carbon solutions were far from mainstream and shares how he saw opportunity where others didn’t. 🚀 We dive into the origins of ClimeCo and the conviction it took to build in an emerging space long before the market caught up. Since 2009, ClimeCo has helped reduce, avoid, or remove more than 50 million metric tons of carbon, and Bill unpacks what it really takes to translate climate ambition into measurable impact. 📉 The conversation also explores how carbon markets are evolving today, where they’re headed, and the growing role of technology, including AI, in accelerating climate solutions at scale. 🌱 What changes when intelligence, data, and automation meet environmental markets? Beyond the market itself, Bill shares candid insights on leadership: how to build and scale a mission-driven business, navigate uncertainty, and stay grounded while tackling complex global challenges. 💡 If you’re interested in learning more about ClimeCo’s work or connecting directly, you can visit , reach the team at info@climateco.com or https://climeco.com [https://climeco.com] or connect with Bill on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-flederbach/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-flederbach/] This episode is a thoughtful look at what it means to solve real climate problems combining vision, execution, and resilience to drive lasting impact.
