The CDR Policy Scoop Special Episode: Behind the Scenes - with Helen Lundebye
What is The CDR Policy Scoop really about and how did it come to be?
In this special episode, the microphones are turned around. Producer Helen Lundebye steps out from behind the scenes and interviews co-hosts Eve Tamme and Sebastian Manhart about the origins, evolution, and future of The Scoop.
The conversation traces the show’s beginnings: from informal conversations and early LinkedIn Lives to more than 50 episodes covering carbon removal policy across jurisdictions. Eve and Sebastian reflect on why they deliberately chose an unscripted, conversational format, their shared frustration with traditional webinars, and the idea of “just showing up” as the core DNA of the show.
They also unpack how their different backgrounds shape the discussions: Eve’s long-standing expertise in carbon markets and EU policy design, and Sebastian’s focus on country-level developments, data, and system-building. Together, these perspectives have shaped a niche but influential platform aimed squarely at policymakers and those working closely with them.
Finally, the conversation looks ahead: new formats, new platforms, more experimentation, and a clear ambition to bring even more policymakers directly into the conversation.
A candid, reflective episode about building trust, depth, and continuity in climate policy conversations and the people behind The Scoop who make it happen.
