The Net Zero Business Podcast

Blimey. It has been a year since I first launched the Net Zero Business Podcast. In this special birthday episode, I explain exactly why I started the podcast, before drawing out five big things I have learnt over the last year and 50+ episodes. It is a subjective list, regular listeners may have other learning points or respond to some of mine with a 'duh'. If you have feedback or an issue you would like me to cover let me know here. [https://www.terrainfirma.co.uk/contact-us/] I reference quite a few interviews, so instead of a huge list here, it's easier to browse them all via this link: https://shows.acast.com/the-net-zero-business-podcast/episodes [https://shows.acast.com/the-net-zero-business-podcast/episodes] Looking forward to the next year of the pod!

Ever since the 1992 Earth Summit, we have been urged to "Think Global, Act Local". All too often this slogan has manifested itself in small scale projects, but what about creating sustainable cities?

Management Peter Drucker said "culture eats strategy for breakfast" and nowhere is this more true than in Sustainability. You can have the best strategy in the world, but if people aren't bought into Sustainability then nothing will change. Here I explain why so many people fail to engage with Sustainability and why standard engagement techniques often fail. I call my approach Green Jujitsu and I explain how the idea developed over many years of experience.
