In 2017, Santiago Lefebvre started ChangeNOW with a hundred climate solutions and one room. Nine editions later, he opens the Grand Palais in Paris to 40,000 people from 140 countries. But here is the thing he told us that we cannot stop thinking about: the solutions to our planetary crisis already exist. Every single one of them. What the world is missing is not the ideas. It is the ecosystem to deploy them at scale.

That conviction is what led Santiago to found ChangeNOW which is now the world’s largest climate solutions summit, bringing together 1,000 sustainable innovations and more than 1,200 impact investors under one roof. Last year alone, nearly 1,400 investor-founder meetings were arranged through its Dealflow Lounge, making it one of the most powerful platforms for climate action and green investment in the world.

In this episode, we sit down with Santiago just days before ChangeNOW 2026 opens in Paris. 

We explore what it takes to build a climate ecosystem rather than just an event, why brilliant clean technology innovations fail to scale, what impact investors keep getting wrong, and why the cultural transition may be the hardest and most important part of the sustainability transition. 

Whether you are a climate entrepreneur, impact investor, sustainability leader, or someone who simply believes the world can be fixed, this conversation is for you.

This is a conversation about infrastructure. About courage. About the room where change actually happens.

Can the world’s most connected airport cut its carbon footprint and build a brand new runway at the same time? Buckle up. Because Heathrow is doing exactly that, and this episode is where it gets real.

In the Season 4 premiere of the Sustainability and Climate Podcast, Tobi Aigbogun and Labake Ajiboye-Richard go deep with Nigel Milton, Chief Communications and Sustainability Officer at Heathrow Airport, one of the most influential voices in sustainable aviation today. We’re talking SAF, Scope 3, net zero targets, the third runway, and what honest climate leadership actually sounds like when the whole world is watching your every move.

Flight carbon at Heathrow is already 7% below 2019 levels. The airport has committed £80 million to boost Sustainable Aviation Fuel uptake in 2026, targeting 5.6% of all fuel used, two full percentage points above the UK government mandate. Heathrow’s 2030 goal is a 15% carbon reduction. That is not a press release. That is a programme with teeth.

And then there’s the third runway. The £49 billion expansion that would increase capacity by 88%. Far from being a contradiction, Heathrow’s case is that a modern, expanded airport, built with SAF infrastructure embedded from day one and the cleanest aircraft in the fleet, puts the UK in position to lead global aviation decarbonisation rather than watch it happen from the sidelines. Connectivity and climate do not have to be enemies. Nigel tells us why.

We recorded this episode while Middle East airspace was being rerouted around military strikes, forcing hundreds of long-haul flights onto longer, dirtier paths. Weeks of progress, undone in 48 hours by geopolitics nobody could control. It is the perfect illustration of why infrastructure, strategy, and political will all have to move together.

From SAF policy and the UK SAF Bill to Scope 3 influence, greenwashing accusations, and the 2050 net zero commitment for aviation, this conversation goes to the places most people in the sector are still afraid to go. Openly. Honestly. With data.

The sports industry generates $2.3 trillion a year. Climate change could wipe out $1.6 trillion of it. In this episode, we sit down with the man who saw it coming before almost anyone else did.

Dr. Allen Hershkowitz is an environmental scientist, and Founding Chairman of Sport and Sustainability International. He co-founded the Green Sports Alliance, served as Environmental Science Advisor to the New York Yankees, the first role of its kind in professional sports, and built sustainability programmes for the NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, and USTA. He greened the Oscars. He greened the Grammys. He greened Broadway. Sports Business Journal named him one of the fifty most influential people in sports. They call him The Godfather of Greening.

In this conversation, we explore why sport has become one of the most powerful platforms for climate communication on Earth, what it actually took to walk into league boardrooms and make powerful people care, the $1.6 trillion financial threat now facing the global sports economy, why the 2026 FIFA World Cup is projected to be the most polluting tournament in history, the growing gap between climate pledges and real accountability in sport, and what meaningful climate communication looks like when political leadership goes quiet.

This is not a conversation about recycling bins and solar panels. This is a conversation about the future of sport, the future of the planet, and the extraordinary power of one person refusing to stay comfortable.

The game is bigger than the scoreboard.
