Business concerns about climate ‘irreversible’ - a podcast by BBC World Service

Business leaders’ concerns about green-friendly investment are here to stay, say experts, ahead of the COP 26 summit in Glasgow, where leaders and investment moguls are gathering to address the problem of global warming. We speak with one of the richest people in Australia, Dr Andrew Forrest, who is switching his mining operations to a fully green hydrogen model. He tells us how he did it, and how investors have a duty to lead the charge towards climate-friendly business. Economist Michael Hughes tells us that he has noticed a sea change in investors, shown by the questions put to company boards – they’re now very focussed towards sustainability. Plus, the inventor of famous dessert tiramisu has died – we speak to Italian food writer Lydia Capasso about the origin of the cake, and how the country will pay tribute to restauranteur Ado Campeol.
