Short Break, Big Plans - Back Next Week with More Climate Confidence Artwork

Climate Confident

Climate Confident is the podcast for business leaders, policy-makers, and climate tech professionals who want real, practical strategies for cutting emissions and building a resilient low-carbon future.

Every Wednesday at 7am CET, I sit down with the people doing the work, executives, engineers, scientists, founders, and policymakers, to unpack what’s actually driving climate progress across energy, transport, industry, supply chains, food, finance, and more.

This isn’t about vague pledges or greenwash. It’s about what’s working, what isn’t, and what leaders need to understand now to make better decisions faster.

Expect conversations on:

scalable solutions in energy, mobility, food, industry, and finance
the politics, markets, and policies shaping the transition
the technologies and tools improving climate accountability, resilience, and risk management
hard truths, hidden bottlenecks, bold ideas, and real-world success stories

Subscribers also get Bonus episodes, including highlight reels, analysis, emerging themes I’m seeing across conversations, and other subscriber-only extras.

You can still listen to the most recent episodes for free, and if you want to go deeper, subscription gives you more Climate Confident in your feed.

In the meantime, if you’re missing your climate fix, remember there’s a massive back catalogue of over 220 episodes to explore, from cutting-edge carbon removal tech to climate policy deep dives, it’s all there and ready for you to binge.

Hey folks, Tom Raftery here. Just a quick note to let you know that Climate Confident is taking a short break this week. I am recharging the batteries, soaking up a bit of inspiration and preparing some brilliant new conversations for you. But don't worry. I'll be back next week and in the weeks to come with more deep dives into climate solutions, breakthrough technologies, and the bold thinkers helping drive emissions down to zero. If you're missing your climate fix, remember, there's a huge backlog of episodes, 220 something just waiting to be explored. Surely haven't listened to all of them. Everything from carbon removal to solar revolutions and sustainable finance, it's all there. Binge ready. And hey, if you find value in the podcast and you want to help keep it going, why not become a supporter? Support costs as little as three euros or dollars a month, which is less than the coffee, and it really helps to keep the mics on and the mission alive. You'll find the link in the show notes of this or any episode or at tinyurl.com/climate pod. Thanks as always for tuning in and I'll catch up with you next week. In the meantime, stay climate confident.
