In this episode we welcome Peter McKillop, the founder and CEO of our new partner, Climate & Capital Media.

Peter is the founder of Climate & Capital Media. Climate & Capital Media is a mission-driven information platform exploring the business and finance of climate change.

Climate & Capital delivers original reporting, intelligence and insight from our global network of journalists, researchers, and investors with a focus on climate-related businesses, technology, and public policy, particularly for the emerging generation of economic leaders who will shape tomorrow’s global agenda.

Prior to Climate & Capital, Peter McKillop was a Managing Director at BlackRock, where he was responsible for leading the firm’s strategic communications and messaging for its iShares ETF and Indexing business. He has also held senior communication leadership positions at J.P. Morgan, KKR, UBS, and Bank of America. Before entering the financial communications field, Peter was a senior correspondent and bureau chief for Newsweek in New York, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
​
Our discussion ranges across the following topics, among others:
  • Why it’s especially important and vital to have good oversight over the hundreds of billions of dollars of climate money about to be spent?
  • Our goals for this new oversight collaboration between Climate Money Watchdog and Climate & Capital Media
  • How the climate community will react to the idea of needing oversight unemployment money and the need to police itself.
  • What we should do as climate money watchers when the climate deniers try to use spending failure and scandals to discredit all climate work.
  • How important sources, especially inside sources within the climate effort are to finding out what is going wrong
  • Why we are concerned about whistleblowers in the past who have dumped un-vetted, un-redacted into the public arena. How practices of people like Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning can hurt the communities they’re trying to help.
  • As a long-time journalists, what concerns us now about the state of journalism, it's sustainability, and its ability to do oversight.
