What's this podcast about? | Green Champions

Green Champions is a podcast featuring candid conversations with real people driving meaningful sustainability impact.

Across multiple seasons, the show has spotlighted a global network of practitioners, educators, and innovators advancing climate action across every industry. With new episodes released every Tuesday, Green Champions demystifies sustainability, addresses climate anxiety, and makes progress feel accessible.

Listeners can expect a consistent two-part format for each guest:

The first episode explores their background and personal connection to sustainability.
The second focuses on a specific initiative or success story they’ve led.

In addition to regular seasons, Green Champions produces mini-series that spotlight key sustainability conferences, such as the Midwest Regional Sustainability Summit and NanoValbruna. These shorter episodes feature conversations with entrepreneurs, policy leaders, and professionals capturing innovations and ideas as they unfold in real time.
