Women in Climate
From winning lawsuits against multinational fossil fuel producers to pioneering climate resilience programmes across the global south, women are taking the lead on climate, charting the path towards net-zero and a more equitable world.
Yet despite their successes, women’s voices are underrepresented and ignored. In January 2024, the organising committee for COP29 (the annual UN climate summit) appointed no women to its board, an oversight that was only rectified after global media scrutiny.
In this new podcast from GIB Asset Management, we will meet exceptional women across business, government, media and not-for-profit who are driving climate action in their fields.
This podcast series from GIB Asset Management seeks to inspire current and future climate leaders by showcasing the innovative ways women are driving change in the fight against climate change. It will explore challenges from fresh perspectives and demonstrate how integral diverse collaboration is to finding novel solutions and stronger ideas to bring about a more sustainable world.
Hosted by broadcast journalist Naomi Kerbel (formerly Bloomberg, Sky News and CNBC).

The Age of Intelligence
This year, the theme of the World Economic Forum in Davos was ‘Collaboration for the Intelligent Age’ acknowledging that we’re on the brink of a technological revolution that has the possibility to transform our approach to climate action. Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, AI and other groundbreaking technologies have exploded into the mainstream, reshaping industries and offering new tools to tackle climate change. But while these advances hold incredible promise, much of the world, especially the global south—has been left behind. In this episode we discuss what these new technologies mean for climate action in reality, asking if they will help or hinder the fight against climate change. Can the pace of innovation match the urgency of the climate crisis? And will it be worth the cost to move the dial faster?
Guests:
- Jane Burston, CEO of the Clean Air Fund
- Francesca Brady, Co-founder of AirRated.
Hosted by:
- Naomi Kerbel, Communications Director, SEC Newgate UK
