Season 2, Episode 9: Insights & Outlook for the Economy and Global Trade with James Pomeroy
The outlook for the global economy remains both mixed and uncertain. Amid this complexity, which long-term trends are poised to shape the future of global trade?
In this episode, Lora Jakobsen, Chief Sustainability Officer at ZeroNorth, is joined by James Pomeroy, a Global Economist at HSBC with expertise in long-term economic trends. James specialises in areas such as demographics, global supply chains, and trade.
Lora and James explore the transformative forces redefining global trade, including the influence of demographic shifts, the impact of political decision-making, the rising importance of technology and sustainability, and the pivotal role of the green energy transition in shaping economic futures.
The world is in a climate crisis, and all industries must do their part to reach zero emissions. Maritime trade is critical to today's society but is responsible for roughly 3% of all greenhouse gas emissions. A future where global trade reaches zero emissions is possible. But how do we get there? In this podcast, we're sitting down with thought leaders to explore the inner workings of global trade, its massive impact on our society, and the obstacles it faces while navigating its way to zero.
