About this episode

This week on Carbon Frontiers 2025, we welcome back Peter Zaman, Partner at HFW Singapore. David Greely sits down with Peter to discuss the impact of the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement and how the rest of the world's response, whether ideological or pragmatic, will determine the path forward. They also talk about the need for a greater focus on adaptation and managing climate risk in a world where climate action is going to be slower and take longer to make meaningful change.
