In a time of growing urgency, why does meaningful climate progress still feel out of reach?In this episode, host Emma Cox is joined by Bill Flederbach, President and CEO of ClimeCo, and Dr. T. Alexander Puutio, a leadership professor at Harvard, Columbia, and NYU Stern, and a contributor to Forbes, Fast Company, and Psychology Today. Together, they examine how market incentives, media narratives, and consumer behavior shape climate progress, and why those systems often slow meaningful action.The conversation challenges how change actually happens in practice, highlighting the tension between ambition and execution. It asks a tough question: do real climate solutions require working within today’s economic system rather than against it? By addressing this complexity, the episode offers a candid perspective on what it takes to turn climate goals into meaningful, scalable impact. Don’t miss an episode—subscribe to ESG Decoded on your favorite podcast platform and follow us on social for the latest updates!Episode Resources: Alexander Puutio Website – https://www.alexanderpuutio.com/Alexander Puutio Forbes Contributor Page – https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexanderpuutio/ Amazon Climate Pledge – https://www.theclimatepledge.com/ Connect with Alexander Puutio: https://www.linkedin.com/in/t-alexander-puutio/ Connect with Bill Flederbach: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-flederbach/ Connect with Emma Cox: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmagillespiecox/ -About ESG Decoded ESG Decoded is a podcast powered by ClimeCo to share updates related to business innovation and sustainability in a clear and actionable manner.
