This Episode is featuring Ely Sandler, research fellow at Harvard’s Belfer Center, and Olivia Azadegan, senior energy manager at the Global Methane Hub. They trace their personal paths into decarbonisation and unpack the biggest question facing climate action today: how do we pay for the global energy shift in a multipolar world?
Ely makes a compelling case for unleashing private capital arguing that lowering risk and cutting the cost of capital, especially in emerging markets, is the real unlock. Olivia brings a pragmatic, solutions-first perspective, showing how the Global Methane Hub mobilises philanthropy, policy and local partnerships to slash emissions fast.
The episode dives deep into methane’s outsized impact, highlighting a rare sweet spot where environmental wins and industry profits align: stopping leaks boosts the climate and the bottom line. Tune in for candid insights, fresh frameworks and practical takeaways for energy leaders, investors and students ready to shape the carbon-neutral future.
