Breaking down silos: Balancing the role of policy and private sector in the energy transition

At the ESG Insider podcast, we’ve been hearing one key theme on repeat: Solutions to big sustainability challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss require collaboration across silos. This idea is coming across loud and clear at the global events we cover, from Climate Week NYC to COP28 in Dubai to the World Economic Forum’s annual gathering in Davos, Switzerland. 

In this 'Breaking down silos' miniseries of the podcast, we’ll bring you examples of how collaboration across different groups of stakeholders happens in practice.   

Today in Part I, we hear the perspective of an academic with a policy background in an interview with Jason Bordoff. Jason is Founding Director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, where he is a Professor of Professional Practice, and also Co-Founding Dean of the Columbia Climate School. 

Jason talks to us about the role of the private sector in the energy transition, which he says “has to be facilitated by policy.” 

"We can't have a clean energy transition if we don't ensure reliability and security and affordability along the way," Jason says.
