Today's guest is Elizabeth Lewis, Managing Director and Deputy Head of ESG at Blackstone.Blackstone is an investment firm that invests for the long term because building successful, resilient businesses can lead to better returns, stronger communities, and economic growth that works for everyone. As Managing Director and Deputy Head of ESG, Elizabeth supports Blackstone's corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts. Before joining Blackstone, Elizabeth led engagement with investors, NGOs, governments, and other stakeholders on climate change and diversity for the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector part of the World Bank Group. Elizabeth was also a Partner and Director of Strategy and Business Development for Terra Alpha Investments. In addition, she established World Resources Institute's Sustainable Investing Program and served as Head of Sustainable Investing. Earlier in her career, Elizabeth was a Principal at Global Environment Fund, a private equity fund focused on clean energy and sustainable forestry, and an advisor at Booz Allen Hamilton.I was excited to sit down with Elizabeth. She explained her role at Blackstone, the mission and approach Blackstone has regarding ESG, and Elizabeth's theory of change around climate. We also dive into a discussion on time-horizon impact climate commitments, if ESG and climate are synonymous, and if capitalism will get us to a clean future. Elizabeth is a well-versed guest, and this episode is a must-listen for those focused on investing and ESG.Enjoy the show!You can find me on twitter @jjacobs22 or @mcjpod and email at info@myclimatejourney.co, where I encourage you to share your feedback on episodes and suggestions for future topics or guests.Episode recorded live January 11th, 2022For more information about Blackstone, visit: https://www.blackstone.com/For more information about this episode, visit: https://myclimatejourney.co/episodes/elizabeth-lewis

Great post from @climateXcrypto and @ToucanProtocol via @mcjpod on how #crypto addresses the #climate crisis. I want to better understand how crypto can internalize negative externalities causing climate crisis - any article or podcast suggestions?
