What happens when you challenge the climate agenda from the inside? In this episode, WEF whistleblower Desiree Fixler joins Andrew Gold to explain why she believes parts of the UK’s climate-policy culture now function less like open debate and more like an unquestionable belief system.

Fixler was a senior executive at Deutsche Bank’s $1 trillion asset-management arm. She believed in ESG, sustainability, and the promise of “profit with purpose.” That belief began to unravel when she saw how climate commitments, net zero targets, and stakeholder capitalism were implemented behind the scenes—and how dissent was treated as a problem rather than a safeguard.

In this conversation, Desiree explains what the World Economic Forum actually is, how stakeholder capitalism replaced shareholder accountability, and why ESG, DEI, and net zero targets became effectively mandatory across finance and government-aligned institutions. She outlines how these frameworks are enforced through compliance pressure, reputational risk, and narrative control—often without rigorous challenge.

The discussion also turns to the UK political context. Fixler addresses how climate policies promoted under Ed Miliband and Keir Starmer are being advanced at speed, despite ongoing debate over evidence, cost, and impact. She argues that questioning these policies is increasingly framed as unacceptable, even as businesses, energy markets, and households absorb the consequences.

The turning point for Fixler came when she says she refused to approve public disclosures she believed were misleading. According to her account, raising concerns triggered swift consequences: she was locked out of internal systems, publicly criticised, and eventually forced out of Germany. What followed, she says, were investigations by US and German authorities—and a dramatic reversal of her career.

This episode isn’t a denial of environmental concern. It’s a first-hand account of how policy, finance, and politics align, and what happens when transparency gives way to conformity. Fixler carefully distinguishes between environmental goals and the structures used to enforce them—warning that when scrutiny disappears, mistakes multiply.

If you’ve ever wondered how climate policy translates into real-world decisions—or why challenging ESG frameworks can carry serious professional risk—this conversation offers rare insight from someone who was inside the system.
