Welcome to TBLI Radial Truth, the podcast where we strip away the greenwashing and get to the core of how capital can save the planet. I’m your host, [Name], and today we are joined by one of the most influential architects of global climate policy in the last three decades.
Our guest is Yvo de Boer, a man who has operated at the absolute pinnacle of international diplomacy. As the former Executive Secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Yvo was the lead navigator through the high-stakes negotiations of the Kyoto Protocol and the Copenhagen Climate Challenge, ultimately laying the groundwork for what would become the Paris Agreement.
But Yvo’s impact doesn't stop at the UN. He has served as the Director-General of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), led KPMG’s Global Climate Change and Sustainability Services, and served as the President of the Gold Standard Foundation.
He is uniquely positioned to tell us the "Radial Truth": why global policy often stalls, how the private sector is actually the engine of the green transition, and why we must transition from valuing only financial capital to valuing social and natural capital.
In this episode, we discuss:
-The raw reality of UN climate negotiations.
-Why "Green Growth" is the only viable economic model for the 21st century.
-How the Gold Standard is ensuring integrity in the carbon markets.
-The leadership shift required to move from "promises" to "Assurance."
Please welcome to the show, Yvo de Boer. This is Radical Truth
