Climate Confident
Climate Confident is the podcast for business leaders, policy-makers, and climate tech professionals who want real, practical strategies for cutting emissions and building a resilient low-carbon future.
Every Wednesday at 7am CET, I sit down with the people doing the work, executives, engineers, scientists, founders, and policymakers, to unpack what’s actually driving climate progress across energy, transport, industry, supply chains, food, finance, and more.
This isn’t about vague pledges or greenwash. It’s about what’s working, what isn’t, and what leaders need to understand now to make better decisions faster.
Expect conversations on:
- scalable solutions in energy, mobility, food, industry, and finance
- the politics, markets, and policies shaping the transition
- the technologies and tools improving climate accountability, resilience, and risk management
- hard truths, hidden bottlenecks, bold ideas, and real-world success stories
Subscribers also get Bonus episodes, including highlight reels, analysis, emerging themes I’m seeing across conversations, and other subscriber-only extras.
You can still listen to the most recent episodes for free, and if you want to go deeper, subscription gives you more Climate Confident in your feed.
Want to shape the conversation? Drop me a line anytime at Tom@tomraftery.com
, whether it’s feedback, a guest suggestion, or just a hello.
Ready to stop doomscrolling and start climate-doing? Hit follow and let’s get to work.

August Vacation - Don't Touch That Dial!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Keeping it short and sweet - I'm headed off on vacation for the next few weeks so the podcast is going on a brief break too.
I will be back publishing the podcast at its normal weekly (every Wednesday at 6 am CET) cadence resuming with a cool episode on August 25th.
If you get lonely for the podcast, there are 36 episodes in the back catalog you can check out if you haven't listened to all of them. And if you have (kudos to you!), many of them can stand a second (or third!) listen, take this as your chance to do that.
And so, don't touch that dial - the opposite, tell all your friends to Follow this podcast (!), and I'll see you at the other end of August. Ciao!
