"During those 102 hours, I connected with my soul, my brain, my body, to a level that I will probably never do again. And I discovered a part of myself that I couldn't think was capable of doing what I did."

Noam Yaron swam from Corsica to just off the coast of Monaco, mainland Europe, to push himself to the limit and raise awareness about the marine environment.

Here's what he learned about human endurance and the threats to nature posed by pollution, shipping and rising temperatures.

We all rely on nature to survive - but humans continue to destroy and degrade the environment to an extent that puts our own species at risk

Nature conservationist Marco Lambertini puts the case for going 'nature positive' - getting companies and countries to account for their impact on nature and find ways to conserve and restore more than they destroy.

The transition to net-zero is a daunting challenge for any industry - but what if diverse sectors can help each other speed up progress? That's what can happen in an 'industrial cluster'.

In the episode we hear from two such clusters - the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium and the Andalusia Green Hydrogen Valley in Spain - just two of the more than 35 industrial clusters around the world, supported by the World Economic Forum's Transitioning Industrial Clusters (TIC) initiative, to drive economic growth, employment and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

And we speak to the head of the Mission Possible Partnership - an organisation that works to advance the energy transition in industry which also puts a strong emphasis on industry clusters or 'clean industrial hubs'.
