Interviewed By The Sustainability Agenda

Slightly strange acoustic format, but rather pleased with this interview by Feral Byrne.

Leaving tomorrow for Washington, DC, and a joint went with the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the UN Global Compact. More on that shortly, hopefully, but this blog just posted on GreenBiz.com, capturing some of my current thinking.

What Impressed Me Most About 2016

My answers to this question, and those of some way more interesting folk as relayed to GreenBiz, can be found here. Then there are our answers to two other questions: (1) Which technologies promise to make a positive impact in 2017? And then (2) we imagine it’s 2030 and say which technologies we think will have made the biggest difference.

My first Medium blog of the year links Donald Trump and The Titanic, as you do.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
