The Blue Earth Summit Part 2

This is the second episode from the Blue Earth Summit 2024.
Please check out our instagram feed @fortheloveofweather to get a
flavour of what we got up to.


We captured and shared as many speakers and guests as we could
and yet again we were blown away by the amazing conversations we
had and most importantly people’s willingness to give us their
time to talk about what they were passionate about.


The Blue Earth Summit is held over 3 days and plays host to
5,000+ decision makers, industry pioneers, provocative thought
leaders, sustainability trailblazers, insightful solutions and
boundary-pushing start ups. It’s the place to explore, meet,
learn, collaborate and take action.


In this episode of the podcast we speak to Avery Johnston from
KPMG, Blue Earth Summit co-founder Linley Lewis, Ben Pollack from
Climate Cartographic and interviewer Hannah MacInnes.


Avery Johnstone is a manager in KPMG's Global Decarbonisation
Hub. KPMG are doing work around story telling to bridge the gap
between the decision makers in big business today and young
people that are going to inherit those roles in the future.


Avery has a powerful ethos about business and climate change. She
says that that you don’t have to be a full time activist to
impact change. People can use their autonomy, skill and education
to make a difference - ‘Mobilising everyone is what we need’.

Linley Lewis COO & Co-Founder of the Blue Earth Summit.
Linley and the founders saw an opportunity to bring his love of
the outdoors and sustainable business and co-created the Blue
Earth Summit.


Linley talks a little about climate fatigue and how the Blue
Earth Summit is designed to inspire and connect through
motivational speaking while creating a space for sustainable
business, start up’s and philanthropy.

Our third guest is Ben Pollack a Co-Founder & Strategy
Director of Climate Cartographics.


Ben felt he needed a change in his career and drew on his love of
the outdoors to harness his data skills to develop impactful
visualisations of ecology and the environment. His business
offers a design service for companies wanting to make impactful
visualisations through using 3D modelling.

of their work. Ben is also on LinkedIn.


Our final guest is Hannah MacInnes an interviewer at the Blue
Earth Summit.


Hannah talks about how important it is for all ages to be
represented in climate from very young to very old.


She remarks on the changing nature of audiences, mainly with
audiences becoming younger but that we can still learn from older
members of society and how it is deeply engrained in them to live
within their means while having a huge respect for nature.
