The GreenWave Podcast

In this episode, SYNI dives into a landmark event that could shape Africa’s energy future, the African Heads of State Energy Summit in Dar es Salaam – a gathering of African leaders, policymakers, and partners focused on accelerating the continent’s sustainable energy transition. We explore the significance of this summit in Africa’s energy journey, unpack key announcements and commitments made by African leaders, examine the role of the African Guarantee Fund in mobilising investment, take a closer look at Zambia as a case study of energy shortfalls and potential, and discuss the broader implications for Africa’s economies and climate resilience. 

Let’s all give Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez a robust "Olé" as SYNI expands upon the significance of the Spanish government’s latest initiatives in sustainable energy industrial policy. We're also recap a divided Davos Economic conference where the European-China corporate divide became more evident, more UK sustainable reform indigestion, Vietnamese wind farms, and linking up our Linked In posts from the week.

This week SYNI lightens up the pod by taking our first looks at sustainable development strategies in the global skiing resort industry, focusing on the admirable, yet very different Net Zero efforts at two of America’s finest ski mountains, Jackson Hole in Wyoming and Alta in Utah, both known for their extraordinary ski heritage combined with forward thinking on the environment. We also do our enhanced takes from this week's GreenWave Gazette.

With a heavy heart, Syni addresses the Los Angles wildfires and the obvious implications regarding advancing climate change, which are at risk of being swept under the carpet amid the politicisation of the catastrophe. We also highlight sustainable aviation amid our full roundup from GreenWave Gazette.

Welcome to Episode 2 of The GreenWave Podcast by Synergy International. This week, we’re exploring the politics of sustainable finance already emerging in dawn of 2025—and the question of why it’s urgent to move beyond the familiar left-versus-right divides in Western democracies. We’ll also visit the GreenWave Gazette to share the news highlighted in our Friday edition.

Hello and welcome to the very first edition of the GreenWave podcast by Synergy International. It’s 2025, and we’ve decided to launch this show to reach a wider audience of people curious about global sustainability. I’m your weekly host, SYNI. As anyone who currently reads our GreenWave newsletter knows, we have our own unique and sometimes idiosyncratic views on sustainability.
