In this compelling episode of the Climate Correction Podcast, we sit down with Nathaniel Keohane, President of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), to explore the current state of the climate crisis and the opportunities that lie ahead.
Nat kicks off by addressing the alarming climate records set over the past 18 months, from unprecedented global temperature increases to devastating weather events like hurricanes Helene and Milton, as well as wildfires causing smoky skies across the Northeast. He paints a sobering picture of the impacts we’re already experiencing and the urgency for immediate action.
Despite political challenges, Nat offers a hopeful perspective, highlighting the growing momentum behind clean energy. He shares insights into the economic benefits of clean energy tax credits, the importance of streamlining permitting processes for renewable infrastructure, and the critical alignment of trade policies with climate goals.
Fresh from COP29 in Baku, Nat reflects on the optimistic energy at the conference, fueled by businesses embracing the low-carbon transition. However, he also explores the challenges posed by the potential U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and what that could mean for international climate collaboration.
Nat also unpacks the transformative potential of voluntary carbon markets. He discusses how these markets can mobilize climate finance, ensure the integrity of carbon credits, and support corporate climate commitments, especially in addressing Scope 3 emissions and deforestation.
Finally, Nat emphasizes the importance of building resilience to climate impacts, sharing examples of what companies are doing to protect their communities and adapt to a rapidly changing environment.
Whether you’re a climate advocate, policy enthusiast, or just curious about where we stand in the fight against climate change, this episode is packed with expert insights and actionable hope for a sustainable future.

Splitting Water: All About Hydrogen with Tianyi Sun, EDF
Splitting Water: All About Hydrogen with Tianyi Sun, EDF
Dr. Tianyi Sun is a climate scientist at the Environmental Defense Fund. This nonpartisan, nonprofit organization relies on science and economics to tackle climate change and other pressing environmental issues of our day. Tianyi holds a Ph.D. in Climate Dynamics from the University of Texas at Austin and did her undergraduate studies in Atmospheric Sciences at Nanjing University, China. Her work at EDF focuses on the impacts of short-lived climate pollutants, such as methane and hydrogen. She explores how their emissions and mitigation affect the climate system and the role of short-lived gases in net zero emissions pathways. She also leads EDF’s hydrogen science work on hydrogen emissions measurements and their climate implications.
Dr. Sun walks us through a very helpful Hydrogen 101. Learn why hydrogen is the new rising star in the climate mitigation world.
Hydrogen is emerging as a pivotal solution for climate mitigation, offering both promise and challenges. Its versatility as a clean energy carrier enables decarbonization across transportation, industry, and power generation sectors. Utilizing green hydrogen produced from renewable sources reduces carbon emissions significantly. Benefits include zero emissions, energy storage capabilities, and fostering energy independence.
However, challenges loom, notably regarding cost, scalability, and infrastructure development. Risks encompass safety concerns, primarily related to hydrogen's flammability and transportation hazards. Addressing these challenges demands concerted efforts in technological advancement, policy support, and investment. Hydrogen stands as a potent ally in combating climate change, albeit with caveats requiring careful navigation.

In the quest to mitigate climate change, transitioning industries to zero-carbon practices stands out as a paramount challenge. In this episode of the Climate Correction podcast, we delve into this crucial topic with Jeff Rissman, Senior Director of Industry Program at Energy Innovation. Rissman, with his extensive background in environmental science and policy, provides valuable insights into the complexities and opportunities inherent in this transition. At the heart of our discussion is exploring what the zero-carbon industry entails and why it's imperative for combating climate change. We examine the diverse sectors within the industry and their significant contributions to carbon emissions, highlighting the urgent need for decarbonization.
Throughout the conversation, Rissman illuminates the challenges faced by industries in adopting zero-carbon practices, from technological limitations to regulatory hurdles. Yet, amidst these challenges lie vast opportunities for innovation and economic growth. By embracing sustainable technologies and fostering collaboration between industry, academia, and government, we can pave the way for a more sustainable and prosperous future. Policy and regulation play a pivotal role in driving this transition, and Rissman underscores the importance of effective policies and strategies to incentivize sustainable industry practices worldwide.
He emphasized the critical role of renewable energy in powering the zero-carbon industry and the necessity of collective action to accelerate progress. As we navigate the complexities of this transition, it's crucial to remain committed to collaboration and innovation. Together, we can chart a path toward a zero-carbon industry and achieve sustainable prosperity for future generations.
We heard an exciting announcement in the episode. Jeffrey Rissman has just released his new book, "Zero Carbon Industry: Transformative Technologies and Policies to Achieve Sustainable Prosperity."

VISTA Award Presentation- Evaluation of Plant Varieties for Green Roofs in South Florida
Description
Green roofs are innovative roofing systems that support plant growth on buildings. They replace traditional roofing materials with a layer of soil for vegetation, offering various benefits such as mitigating the heat island effect, reducing stormwater runoff and sequestering carbon. However, implementing green roofs in the challenging climate of Miami and South Florida is a formidable task due to high humidity, extreme heat, desiccating winds, and hurricanes. The urgency is underscored by Miami's ranking as the third-worst Urban Heat Island Effect city in the US. The intensity of the problem is evident by the recent appointment of the world's first Chief Heat Officer for Miami-Dade County, underlining the severity of Miami's Urban Heat Island Effect. This problem affects residents, and addressing it through greening the city, including green roofs, is crucial. This project aims to recommend resilient plant species for South Florida green roofs, focusing on their carbon sequestration capabilities and reducing the urban heat island effect. This initiative's significance lies in mitigating climate change effects, fostering sustainable urban ecosystems, reducing carbon footprints, enhancing biodiversity, and improving urban well-being. Recognizing the urgent need for climate solutions, the project seeks to provide actionable insights for addressing South Florida's pressing climate issues.

Carbon credit markets are a key market-based solution for accelerating global climate progress while restoring nature and creating a more just world. The Nature Conservancy (TNC) supports effective carbon pricing across the global economy; however, it will take years to build political support in countries across the world. Yet, to meet global climate goals, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calls for urgent progress today. The goal is a 45% reduction in global emissions by 2030, which is equivalent to eliminating the annual emissions of the United Kingdom every week for the next seven years. In response, companies and governments are ramping up action in a race toward net-zero emissions by 2050.
There is a massive ambition gap between the current pace of decarbonization and the pace needed to reach net zero by 2050. While carbon markets are a key tool in helping close this ambition gap, they have also been subject to criticism. In this session, TNC Managing Director of Carbon Markets Cam Moore will discuss why carbon credit markets are essential to closing the ambition gap, the urgent need to build a carbon markets Version 2.0; and the potential for this enhanced approach to create a cleaner, greener, and more just world.
