In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

This carbon capture and sequestration technology was designed to capture atmospheric CO2 much like lichen do in nature. Lichen are comprised of two organisms, an algae, which photosynthesizes, pulling down atmospheric CO2, and a fungus, which provides a good environment for the algae to thrive, allowing the algae to receive the right amount of micro-nutrients, gas exchange, moisture and sunlight (but not too much UV) necessary for photosynthesis. A paint innovation company, Reactive Surfaces, specializing in developing bio-based coatings for the paint and coatings industry for the past 20 years, has developed a paint containing algae that photosynthesize within a special non-toxic coating system which allows for the lighting, gas exchange, nutrients and water the algae need, much like lichen.…

As 2023 begins the Embassy Row Project has immediately begun launching new programs such as their Quantum Leap Technology Trade Mission Series, the International Carbon Markets Institute, the WACN (We Are Carbon Neutral) project, the Bulgarian and European Union Decarbonization Tech Trade Mission, and the intergovernmental and Congressional promotion of the Black Sea Submarine Cable Project with the Embassy of Georgia. They have also published three new books by Embassy Row Project's founder James Scott entitled, “ Green Conflict Minerals: The Mad Dash to Net Zero Is About to Get Rough ”, “ Climate Change Economics: Carbon Capitalism, Regenerative Agriculture & Beyond ”, and “ A Fast Track to Carbon Neutral: Using Environmental Commodities to Rapid Launch Commercial Sustainability Programs ”. The International Carbon Markets Institute was created at the request of American and European stakeholders seeking insight and guidance on accelerated carbon markets and carbon project development. CMI has already begun its virtual trade missions to US and European commercial sector organizations seeking education and guidance on environmental commodities and utilizing carbon offsets as part of their sustainability programs as they accelerate their goals to achieve net neutral carbon emissions and eventually net zero. The WACN (We Are Carbon Neutral) project offers trade associations white-label and turnkey education material and a carbon offsetting program designed to help association members launch sustainability programs, and social impact strategies, and to accelerate their path to net neutral carbon emissions and to achieve net zero carbon emissions with a more direct trajectory and expedited pace. The Quantum Leap Technology Trade Mission Series throughout the United States and Europe has rapidly expanded its portfolio of next-generation technologies in the climate, environmental, agriculture, and energy space. “We’ve had to begin expanding our mission to all 50 States in the US” explains Embassy Row Project founder James Scott, “We’ve been asked to add several high-priority economic development regions to our trade mission schedule as States zero in on the importance of this trade mission tour and it’s international activation of those regions as “sustainability tech hubs”.

Climate Change Economics: Carbon Capitalism, Regenerative Agriculture & Beyond. by James Scott 4:25

hace 2 years4:25

4:25

This is a brief introduction to the latest book by Embassy Row Project's founder, James Scott entitled, Climate Change Economics: Carbon Capitalism, Regenerative Agriculture & Beyond. Man stands at the precipice and stares into the distance begging for a glimpse of his future; staring back is the virtually futile reality of anthropogenic climate change. The Paris Climate Agreement and the recent COP27 Climate Conference have set ambitious goals for the reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with the goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and limiting the global increase in temperatures to 1.5oC. To reach these goals, immediate and coordinated action is required. While new technologies are being developed to help reach these goals using renewable energy, carbon sequestration from the atmosphere, etc., there are technologies and solutions that can be deployed immediately to reduce GHG emissions. The most effective solutions are market-based solutions that can be implemented without a large permanent public investment. However, these solutions will probably need public-private partnerships to accelerate their adoption to meet the GHG emissions reduction goals.

A Fast Track to Carbon Neutral Using Environmental Commodities to Rapid Launch Commercial Sustainability Programs by James Scott 7:59

“What’s the use of a fine house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on.” —Henry David Thoreau This podcast offers an introduction to the latest book authored by Embassy Row Project founder, James Scott entitled " A Fast Track to Carbon Neutral: Using Environmental Commodities to Rapid Launch Commercial Sustainability Programs " Our planet has evolved to heal itself through a natural process of photosynthesis and carbon sequestration. But earth’s natural mechanisms for self-healing are no match for man’s hyper-toxic industrial emissions that accelerate anthropogenic climate change. The Paris Climate Agreement and the recent COP27 Climate Conference have set ambitious goals for the reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions with the ultimate goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050 and limiting the global increase in temperatures to 1.5oC. To reach these goals, immediate and coordinated action is required. While new technologies are being developed to help reach these goals using renewable energy, carbon sequestration from the atmosphere, etc. there are technologies and solutions that can be deployed immediately to reduce GHG emissions.

Green Conflict Minerals: The Mad Dash to Net Zero Is About To Get Rough, by James Scott 6:58

hace 2 years6:58

6:58

This is a brief introduction to the latest book by Embassy Row Project's founder, James Scott entitled, Green Conflict Minerals: The Mad Dash to Net Zero Is About To Get Rough Introduction Climate change represents a looming threat that has already begun to impact the fragile existence of millions who exist in destitute poverty, sinking island nations, and regions of the world where the population eeks out a day-to-day existence from the diminishing yields from their land.. Therefore, the effort to limit the global rise in temperatures to well below 2oC under the Paris Agreement (UNFCC, 2018) and mitigate the effects of climate change requires Herculean resolve and an internationally unified mission to achieve net zero. A wide variety of technologies aiming to accomplish net zero are being developed and deployed, and their application requires resources that can be limited in supply. The IEA estimates that “a concerted effort to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement (climate stabilization at ‘well below 2°C global temperature rise’, as in the IEA Sustainable Development Scenario [SDS]) would mean a quadrupling of mineral requirements for clean energy technologies by 2040. An even faster transition, to hit net-zero globally by 2050, would require six times more mineral inputs in 2040 than today.” (IEA, 2022) The main factor is the increased use of electric vehicles and batteries, which is predicted to increase thirty times by 2040. Lithium should see the highest increase in materials used for manufacturing by 2040, over 40 times, followed by graphite and nickel (20-25 times). Copper demand is slated to double due to the expansion of the global electrical grids. Cobalt consumption is estimated to increase 6 to 30 times, depending on the evolution of battery technology and the stringency of climate policies. Rare earths should see an increase of 3 to 7 times, depending on how widely wind power generation is adopted. Largely, these wide margins of uncertainty are due to a general need for more well-defined long-term policies. The total consumption of minerals critical for green technologies is expected to increase from around 8 million tons in 2020 to 30-40 million tons by 2050, creating significant opportunities in the field. As a result, this mining sector's value is expected to increase from around $40 billion to over $250 billion in annual revenue. For comparison, today's global coal mining sector is worth around $420 billion in annual revenue.

" The Quantum Leap Technology Trade Mission Series is designed to offer public and private sector stakeholders direct access to the most hyper-evolved technologies in the energy, infrastructure, and net zero space," explains James Scott, Embassy Row Project founder. Scott continues, "And to offer clean energy technology innovators, and net zero-focused platform providers a direct audience with the government and commercial sector stakeholders who can utilize these next-generation solutions." They've been telling you for years that technologies were in development to accelerate the reversal of climate change. But where are these innovations? The wait is over! Through its network of international institutes, think tanks, research labs, and institutes, the Embassy Row Project work with labs all over the world, and we're going to begin introducing these technologies right now, from the top down to the agency and ministry stakeholders to commercial sector c-suite in more than 47 countries. Are you interested? "Environmentally focused NGOs have been doing the same thing for years and with no long-lasting results, says Scott, "It's time to think, Differently." The Embassy Row Project has a strategy in motion to internationalize a selection of the most hyper-evolved technologies ever designed to combat the impact of climate change, and we are also working with international stakeholders to launch carbon reduction education programs in heavily polluting industries, with measurable, and immediate results. We've been told that clean, cheap, and abundant energy is a myth. Yet there are several next-generation technologies that not only exist but have been waiting to be deployed. You will hear that there are no carbon capture and removal technologies that can draw down carbon into the gigatons, but these technologies also exist. And ERP is going to show them to you. These, and several other climate technologies, as well as carbon reduction education and training programs, will be launched in 2023 as the Embassy Row Project introduces the international Quantum Leap Technology Trade Mission Series. The Embassy Row Project is introducing tomorrow's technologies today, in the sectors of hydrogen, battery storage, small modular reactor, decarbonization, carbon capture and removal, environmental commodities platforms, blockchain, big data, biotechnology, aerospace, artificial intelligence, agritech, and other tested and proven climate technologies that can be utilized as solutions to climate change problems globally.
