  • Top 2026 sustainability trends: What leaders need to know

    Top 2026 sustainability trends: What leaders need to know
    Jan 30 2026
    In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we explore the geopolitical and macroeconomic issues impacting sustainability, energy and climate strategies in 2026. We speak to Carlos Pascual, Senior Vice President and Head of Geopolitics and International Affairs at S&P Global Energy and a former US Ambassador to Mexico and Ukraine. Carlos describes a fragmented geopolitical landscape marked by significant uncertainty about the direction of global climate policy, action and finance — leaving progress largely in the hands of the private sector. "We have huge changes ahead and look for the private sector to have to play a much more central role in the overall momentum on clean technology and investments in renewable energy," Carlos says. We speak to S&P Global Ratings Global Chief Economist Paul Gruenwald to understand the macroeconomic factors influencing sustainability. Paul says AI is the dominant story for 2026. "We're seeing great numbers out of data center and AI-related investment, but almost everything else is flat," Paul tells us. To understand the outlook for climate change and the growing importance of adaptation alongside mitigation efforts, we speak to Dr. Terence Thompson, Chief Science Officer at the S&P Global Climate Center of Excellence. He explains how advances in climate science are helping to better understand the probability of climate hazards. "Getting at that probability is really key to making those kinds of very practical decisions about how do we allocate limited resources to cope with climate change and adapt to it," Terence says. And to understand the outlook for the energy transition, we speak to Roman Kramarchuk, Head of Integrated Narratives and Policy Analytics at S&P Global Energy. Roman explains how the world is balancing growing energy demands with sustainability priorities in an increasingly fractured global landscape. "There's a big regional story here, and this is a regional story that plays out both in the technology, in the supply chains, and in the geopolitical side," Roman says.

  • Why private markets data is key to managing supply chain risk

    Why private markets data is key to managing supply chain risk
    Jan 23 2026
    In this episode of All Things Sustainable, we're exploring the role that private markets play in global supply chains. We speak to Alex Friedman, Co-Founder and CEO of Novata, a sustainability data management platform for the private markets that partners with S&P Global. In the interview, Alex explains the significance of small and medium-sized private companies in global supply chains — and why high-quality private markets data is important for understanding supply chain risks. "Big public companies have been the ones that have been in the focus when it comes to sustainability," Alex says. "Yet a big public company can't figure out its overall sustainability footprint and how to improve things if they can't get their arms around their supply chain." We also explore how private markets will evolve in 2026 in the face of advances in AI technology and a fragmented regulatory landscape. "It's a multispeed story at the regulatory level," Alex says. "But big companies ... they work in so many jurisdictions that they have to collect information when it comes to sustainability. They have to make sense of it and you have to report on it. So that's not changing." S&P Global is part of the consortium of organizations that supported Novata upon its launch in 2021.

  • The role of carbon markets in protecting and restoring nature

    The role of carbon markets in protecting and restoring nature
    Jan 16 2026
    In this week's episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we bring you coverage of S&P Global Energy's Global Carbon Markets Conference, which took place in Barcelona, Spain in December 2025. Nature was a major theme at the event, and topics of discussion included how carbon markets can be a driver of investment in nature and how new data tools can encourage investment in nature-related carbon projects. In this episode, we sit down on the sidelines of the conference with Cain Blythe, Founder and CEO of CreditNature, a company working to make nature restoration investable. "We've realized that what we used to do isn't fit for finance," Cain says. "So we developed a system that allows us to collect data in a standardized way ... that can be applied across multiple geographies and that can be cost effective at scale." We also talk with Douglas Eger, Chairman and CEO of Intrinsic Exchange Group, who explains a model his company created for nature-based investments called a natural asset company (NAC). Capital invested in a NAC finances conservation, restoration, natural infrastructure and nature-based solutions. "We think that engaging the private markets in an instrument that can scale, that gives the potential for a market rate of return, is what's missing from the market," Doulgas tells us.Listen to our previous coverage of S&P Global Energy's Global Carbon Markets Conference: How trade mechanisms, AI and innovation will influence global carbon markets in 2026 Read S&P Global's Top 10 Sustainability Trends to Watch in 2026 Read nature research from S&P Global Sustainable1: Companies around the world face risks from their reliance on nature | S&P Global Copyright ©2026 by S&P Global DISCLAIMER By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that S&P GLOBAL makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation as to the accuracy or sufficiency of the information featured in this Podcast.
