Greenomics | A new climate, sustainability and economics podcast
A new climate, sustainability and economics podcast from Oxford Economics
Welcome to Greenomics, a brand new podcast series from Oxford Economics where we delve into the complex relationships between climate, nature and our global economy.
Join us as we navigate the changing landscape of the green transition, joined by a panel of experts to discuss one aspect of climate and sustainability and unpack what it means for businesses in today’s economy.
Your host, Sarah Nelson, is a Senior Economist in the Economics & Sustainability team at Oxford Economics. She holds degrees in economics and physics and has a PhD in climate economics and policy from the University of Cambridge. Her professional interests lie in the economics of decarbonisation, energy policy, and nature-related financial regulation.
In this first introduction episode she is joined by Adrian Cooper, CEO of Oxford Economics, to discuss why we are shining a light on the role of economics in the drive towards sustainability.
