Podcast: Randall Krantz, Climate Initiatives at the World Economic Forum

Article PhotoIn this episode, the third of six from Luminous Green, I talked to Randall Krantz about the global challenge of climate change. Randall, who runs the Climate Change initiatives at the World Economic Forum in Geneva, brings the voice of the business community into multi-stakeholder partnerships, particularly through dialogue with governments and civil society. On climate issues, he focuses on future long-term policy, smarter investment, and practical actions towards changing behaviors of business and consumers. Before joining the WEF’s environment team in 2005, Randall worked as a field engineer for GE Power Systems, helped the commercialization efforts of a London-based fuel cell initiative, and pursued an MBA in Barcelona. He is interested in exploring how public-private partnerships can offer entrepreneurial solutions to global environmental issues, and how well-designed and innovative business strategies can spur positive change in consumer and business choices.
