Summary

In their latest wash up episode, Adam and Rafi reflect on recent episodes to explore how systemic change happens at a local and global level. They discuss the "triumph of place-based localism" through Simon Case’s work in Barrow and Claudine Blamey’s community-led flood resilience at Aviva, emphasizing that impact is most effective when rooted in the reality of people's lives. They examine the power of "harnessing capitalism for climate," contrasting Alyssa Gilbert’s focus on scaling innovation at Imperial with Luke Leslie’s investor-led approach to carbon markets and nature-based assets. The conversation also highlights the human side of leadership, from Madlin Sadler’s evidence-based humanitarian work at the IRC and Edward Timpson’s navigating of complex legislative systems for children's services, to Ed Davey’s "clear-eyed hope" regarding international cooperation and land use.
