EnvCast: Environment Top 5
In our new format, this monthly EnvCast podcast series, features special guests highlighting an environment top 5 each month.
Each month we welcome two environmental professionals to explore what they believe to be the top 5 things to consider within a particular topic. Topics range from climate to leadership, agriculture to AI, and everything in between.
Look out for some curveballs in the top 5 each month, and remember, we can’t cover every important thing within a topic.
Our aim is to uncover how you can be part of the solution, to learn from the experts, and to sometimes think outside of the box, as we strive for a sustainable future.
The selection of Chartered Environmentalists, Registered Environmental Practitioners and Registered Environmental Technicians that we’ll be featuring each month is as diverse as our register is, with our podcasts featuring environmental experts from across a variety of sectors and disciplines. Areas of expertise range from air quality to waste management, water to engineering.
