  • CSO Insights: California's biggest utility talks decarbonization, climate adaptation and AI energy demands

    CSO Insights: California's biggest utility talks decarbonization, climate adaptation and AI energy demands
    Apr 24 2026
    In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're talking to the Chief Sustainability Officer of one of the largest utilities in the US — Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). PG&E is a combined natural gas and electric utility serving more than 16 million people across 70,000 square miles in Northern and Central California. During San Francisco Climate Week 2026, we sat down with Aaron Johnson, who took on the CSO role at the start of the year. Aaron explains PG&E's long-term decarbonization strategy and the utility's investments in adaptation measures to address climate hazards like wildfire and sea level rise, which are priorities in PG&E's California markets. He also discusses growing energy demand from data centers to power booming AI usage — a topic that is front and center in the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Aaron says PG&E is seeking to attract data center load to PG&E's service territory while driving down costs for customers. Across all these topics, Aaron explains how PG&E is balancing sustainability, affordability and energy security. "I don't think it's an either/or," he says. "They all come together. The organizing principle for us as a company is that triple bottom line concept of people, planet and prosperity." This interview is the latest installment in our CSO Insights podcast series, where we talk to Chief Sustainability Officers around the world about how they're navigating the changing sustainability landscape.

  • What to expect from the inaugural Climate Week Zurich

    What to expect from the inaugural Climate Week Zurich
    Apr 17 2026
    Switzerland's largest city is hosting its first-ever Climate Week, and All Things Sustainable is the official podcast. In this episode, we preview what to expect from the inaugural Climate Week Zurich May 4-9. Zurich is a global banking and financial hub, and Climate Week Zurich Managing Director Johannes Pokorny explains how the city plans to convene financial institutions, business leaders, policymakers and the public across hundreds of events to scale climate action. "At Climate Week Zurich ... we're not talking too much about what should be happening in 20 years, but really more about what should happen now," Johannes says. Nic Meyer, Chair of the Climate Week Zurich board, tells us how the gathering is taking inspiration from Climate Week events gaining momentum around the world. He says Climate Week Zurich will focus on building the business case for sustainability. "If you're going to build change, you ultimately need to convince the CFO and the board and the stockholders, the shareholders, that there's a dollar behind this," Nic says. "Governments alone can't do this. So businesses have to step up." S&P Global Energy is a founding partner and sponsor of the inaugural Climate Week Zurich and will be hosting events throughout the week.

  • The rise of billion-dollar US weather and climate disasters

    The rise of billion-dollar US weather and climate disasters
    Apr 10 2026
    In this episode of the All Things Sustainable podcast, we're exploring how billion-dollar scale extreme weather and climate disasters in the US are growing in frequency and cost — and what that means for businesses, communities and disaster recovery efforts. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) previously developed and published the billion-dollar disaster report and its related historical database. In 2025, the agency discontinued the research and Climate Central picked up the baton for gathering the data and publishing related research. Climate Central is a nonprofit made up of climate scientists and communicators, including some former NOAA staff. In March 2026, the organization published the latest report tallying US weather and climate events that caused at least $1 billion in damages. In the episode, we speak to project lead Adam Smith, Senior Climate Impacts Scientist at Climate Central. He explains how the landscape for climate research is evolving in the US and what the business community can take away from past weather and climate disasters. "We know that extreme events will continue to happen and we need to learn from them," Adam says. "The result will be we're better prepared in the future to minimize the loss of life and property."
