The OEP - Marking the Government's Environment Homework
The OEP (Office for Environmental Protection) might be the most important legal entity you've never heard of. It holds the UK government to account on its own environmental targets and has the power to both launch investigations - and, crucially, force action - when it finds evidence of poor environmental performance against existing environmental targets and policies.In this fascinating interview the CEO of the OEP (Natalie Prosser) talks about the importance of long-term compliance with environmental targets, instances where the government, ministers and local authorities have been required to take action and future areas of concern and focus. There are fascinating insights here on how to use independent bodies with real power to ensure planet positive progress at a national scale.If you would like to find out more about the OEP's current call for evidence asking for examples of practical or regulatory barriers getting in the way of measures to protect and improve nature, then click here.

AI and the data centres that it is built on.Energy demand, water demand (for cleaning and cooling), air quality... all are being impacted by the world's relentless demand for more chips, and the functionality they unlock. But what about the outputs of tech advances? New material discoveries, algorithms that drive efficiency, processing that powers the R&D that could deliver significant planet positive breakthroughs.All are discussed in this fascinating interview with Rakesh Kumar, Professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois and author of new book 'The Chip Age', out now.

Nature Finance in Practice
If you had to - could you put a price on how much you value nature? A recent guest, Guy Thompson, described nature as "a supermarket with no checkout" – we just take what we need.But nature provides us with so much value - underpinning our food and farming systems, providing resilience to flood and drought and benefits to our health and wellbeing.And there is a growing movement that is changing the status quo, in recognising the value of nature and creating a market to manage the flows of the services it provides.So how could it work, who pays what and what’s already happening on the ground?Expert guests, Anne Reaney from Rebalance Earth and Isabel Milligan from Great Yellow, are here to demystify nature finance - and share what they'd want with the Planet Possible Magic Wand.
