"Keep in mind, we have IPCC 2019 telling us about the last decade, those words still ring in my ears loudly and clearly: we read in 2019 dear friends, you have one decade to go, if we are not managing to turn around climate change in the next decade, we're going to be shooting past 1.5 and even past two degrees."

The State of Sustainability podcast is where we unpack the topics and trends of corporate sustainability with me, Saif Hameed, founder and CEO of Altruistiq.

This time, I’m joined by Renat Heuberger. Renat is a Swiss climate activist, serial entrepreneur and impact investor. He co-founded myclimate and South Pole, two pioneering organisations in carbon markets, and today leads Terra Impact Ventures. Over the past two decades, his work has mobilised billions of dollars into climate projects across more than 50 countries, avoiding over a billion tonnes of CO₂. In recognition of his impact, he was named a Social Entrepreneur by the World Economic Forum’s Schwab Foundation.

Renat and I explore the beginnings of the carbon market, the journey of South Pole, and his perspective on what the future holds for carbon markets.
