This is not abstract environmentalism. The National Emergency Briefing connects climate science directly to the things business leaders care about: health systems, food supply chains, national security, and economic stability. It features Lord Deben, Chris Packham CBE, and Professor Michael Mann, and they make the case that emergency-level action is also an enormous economic opportunity.

In this video, I break down what the film gets right about business and sustainability, and why we are hosting a private screening at The Garden Cinema in London on 6 May 2025.

Doors open at 5:30 PM. Film starts at 6, followed by a Q&A, drinks, and conversation. If you work in business and sustainability, we would love to have you there.

#Sustainability #NetZero #CarbonAccounting #IranWar #ClimatePolicy

Morocco is responsible for 0.18% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Less than two-tenths of one percent of the problem. It ranks 6th in the global Climate Change Performance Index, ahead of most of Europe. And yet it has just come through six years of protracted drought, its driest year in eight decades, and per capita water availability has collapsed from 2,500 cubic metres per person in the 1960s to under 600 today. The international scarcity threshold is 1,000.

In this video I cover what Morocco is actually doing on climate, which is genuinely impressive; what is happening to rural smallholder communities who depend on rainfed agriculture with no safety net or subsidy; the structural inequality underneath the headlines, including water-intensive export crops expanding while wells run dry; and what all of this means for the businesses we work with at 51toCarbonZero.

Average cereal yields fell by nearly 40% in drought years. The World Bank projects 1.9 million people will migrate from rural to urban areas by 2050. That migration has already started. We're driving through villages where it is visible.

The organisations we work with that take carbon strategy seriously are making a material difference to that trajectory. Not as a moral gesture. Because cumulative emissions have cumulative costs, and those costs land on specific people in specific places.

If you want to understand what net zero actually means beyond the reporting framework, this is a good place to start.

#Sustainability #NetZero #CleanEnergy #ClimateRisk #CarbonAccounting

When we started helping organisations reduce their environmental impact at Green Element, most of the world thought what we were doing was a bit odd. The answer wasn't to seek out sceptics. It was to find our people: the B Corp network, sustainability-minded founders, people like James Gibb and Darren Chadwick who understood why this work mattered.

That echo chamber normalised what we were doing. It gave us endorsement and validation at a time when the mainstream hadn't caught up yet. Being surrounded by people who get it doesn't just feel good, it actually helps you push further and faster.

There's a lot of noise about the dangers of echo chambers, and I'll cover the bad side in a follow-up video. But if you're pioneering something new in sustainability or net zero, choosing your circle carefully isn't a weakness. It's a strategy.

The Iran War is turbocharging the clean energy transition at a speed no policy ever managed. BYD showrooms in Manila sold a month's worth of EVs in two weeks. VinFast in Hanoi quadrupled customer visits. In San Francisco, petrol hit $6.81 a gallon and used EV dealers are overwhelmed with appointments. Pakistan is saving $6.3 billion this year by using solar instead of oil.

And one fact that stopped me in my tracks: Southeast Asian countries now have EV adoption rates of around 40% — higher than the UK and Europe.

In this week's top 10 sustainability news countdown, we cover all of that, plus:

• Why Qatar's largest LNG plant emitted the equivalent of 20,000 cars' annual CO2 in just three weeks
• How long-duration iron-air batteries are reshaping the data centre energy story
• Why poor countries will face 10 times more heat deaths than rich ones by 2050
• What New York's climate law U-turn tells us about building resilient carbon strategies
• The UK flood insurance scandal that is benefitting the wealthy instead of the vulnerable
• And three mind-blowing environmental facts you will not hear anywhere else this week

That decision changed everything.

In this video I talk about what happened when we chose complete transparency with our team during one of the hardest periods we had ever faced as a business. We didn't have to do it. We chose to. And the way every single person responded made me genuinely proud.

There's something important here for any leader who has been in that position where the numbers are heading the wrong way but you don't want to panic anyone. The instinct is to protect people by keeping them in the dark. I've come to believe that's completely the wrong call.

What you actually need is the kind of culture where honest conversations are normal, not just in a crisis, but every single week. We had spent over a decade building that at Green Element, and when the moment came, it held.

If you're leading a team through uncertainty right now, whether that's financial pressure, a restructure, or something shifting underneath the business, I hope this helps.

#sustainability #netzero #carbonaccounting #energytransition #climatechange

In this video I break down why the price of electricity, whether it comes from wind, solar or gas, is still largely set by the cost of gas. It's a structural quirk of how energy markets were designed, and it has massive implications for how we think about the transition to net zero.

If you work in sustainability or advise organisations on energy strategy, this is one of those topics that comes up constantly, and getting your head around it helps you give better advice and challenge some of the greenwash around cheap renewables.

#SustainabilityStrategy #NetZero #EnergyPrices #CarbonAccounting #FossilFuels

Every week I go through the sustainability and climate stories that actually matter to business leaders, and this week one story connects almost everything on the list. The Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz crisis is driving oil above $100 a barrel, cutting off humanitarian aid routes, accelerating food insecurity, and handing fossil fuel sceptics a political moment they will not waste. For anyone building a net zero strategy or managing ESG risk right now, this is not background noise. This is the story.

But it is not the only one. We cover ten stories in total this week, from the UK's Climate Change Committee confirming that reaching net zero costs less than managing a single fossil fuel price crisis, to the EU Emissions Trading System coming under real pressure, to AI-driven chip shortages hitting supply chains in ways that are starting to touch sustainability budgets.

And then we get to the three facts. Tehran's water canals catching fire. More than a billion people experiencing climate-influenced temperatures every single day this winter. And extreme dry years in Iran now ten times more likely than before industrialisation. A nuclear-capable nation is running out of water. That is not on the front page. But it should be.

If you work in sustainability, advise organisations on net zero strategy, or lead a business that is trying to understand what any of this means in practice, this channel is for you. Subscribe if you want to stay ahead of the stories that actually matter.

#NetZero #Sustainability #CarbonAccounting #ClimateStrategy #ESG

In this weekly climate news breakdown, I walk through the biggest signals sustainability professionals, consultants and business leaders should be paying attention to right now. From political attacks on ESG alliances to tightening reporting standards and growing scrutiny of net zero claims, the landscape around climate strategy and carbon accounting is shifting quickly.

If you work in sustainability, advise companies on climate strategy, or help organisations with decarbonisation, these trends matter. They shape how net zero strategies are built, how carbon markets are used, and how climate claims stand up to regulators and investors.

In this video I cover:

• Why climate journalism is rapidly moving from TV into podcasts and video

• The growing legal risk around net zero claims and greenwash

• Political pressure on ESG alliances like SBTi and CDP

• Why companies should build climate strategies that work even if policy changes

• What public opinion in the UK really thinks about net zero

• The truth behind the so called greenlash against climate policy

• The structural problems facing carbon offsets and voluntary carbon markets

• Why carbon pricing and ETS revenues could actually help industry decarbonise

• How new reporting rules and SBTi tools are tightening corporate climate targets

• Why renewables keep growing because of economics, not politics

I also share three surprising environmental facts hidden inside everyday news stories, including the remarkable recovery of the kākāpō, a rare flightless parrot whose population has grown dramatically thanks to conservation efforts.

My goal with these weekly updates is simple. Cut through the noise and help sustainability professionals understand what actually matters for net zero strategy, carbon accounting and real world decarbonisation.

Will Richardson | 51 to Carbon Zero

It’s a light‑hearted way to make a serious point.

Too much sustainability talk assumes that climate impact can vanish just because we’ve written a target, launched a campaign or added “net zero” to a slide deck. But emissions only fall when the real economy changes – when we change trucks, land use, supply chains and everyday business decisions.

In the video I talk about the kind of work I see inside organisations that genuinely moves the needle on global environmental reduction:

Decarbonising heavy fleets with electric food‑waste trucks and low‑emission vehicles

Rethinking land and food systems to cut emissions while building resilience

Investing in regenerative agriculture, biodiversity and renewable energy on estates

Facing uncomfortable data (like real‑world plug‑in hybrid performance) and changing strategy as a result

This is where sustainability stops being a report and becomes a business strategy.

If you’re working on:

Net zero roadmaps

ESG and sustainability strategy

Decarbonising logistics or operations

Regenerative farming and land management

…I think you’ll find some useful perspective – and hopefully a bit of encouragement that you’re not alone.

I’m Will Richardson, founder of Green Element Group and a senior leader at 51 to Carbon Zero. For nearly two decades I’ve been helping organisations integrate environmental responsibility into profitable business models.
