Episode 1 | Mark Campanale: The carbon bubble and stranded assets…when?
In this first episode of The Transition Tapes, Mark Campanale, founder of Carbon Tracker, walks us through his career, the origin story of Carbon Tracker and Planet Tracker, and the Theory of Change behind it, on unburnable carbon and stranded assets.
He reflects on how a month stranded in the desert sparked a lifelong mission to connect sustainability with economic history and finance. He also shares his view on the EU Green Taxonomy and why he believes it's "a solution looking for a problem."
Beyond the work, we explore Mark's Transition Tapes playlist - from Latin rock and Neapolitan songs to UK folk blues, US psychedelia, and even a Mahler symphony - and the career advice he wishes he’d received earlier.
