News on Climate Change, Global Supply Chains, and The Impact On Food Costs

Been wondering about the real impact of climate change on global supply chains? Ever thought about the ties that bind food costs to environmental degradation? Well, join us as we tread those paths, discussing how climate change is a game-changer for global supply chains and food costs, especially in the UK. We’ll be shining a spotlight on the COP28 climate summit, dissecting its outcomes, the urgent need for carbon emissions reduction, and the controversies surrounding it – yes, we’re looking at you, private jet users. As always, the insights from Greta Thunberg and other notable figures give our conversation much-needed weight.

Black Friday’s dwindling sales, Walmart’s intriguing shift from China to India for cheaper imports – these are just a couple of the interesting topics we’ll be delving into. The conversation gets even more engrossing as we explore the repercussions of major banks reneging on their climate targets – could a consumer backlash be on the horizon? We wrap up this episode with a somber realization of the power fossil fuel companies yield, and the sobering need for capital to keep their operations running. Remember, each one of us has a role to play, and whether it’s cutting down on consumption or switching to renewables, every action counts. So tune in, because knowledge is power, and we’ve got a lot to share.
