Climate Week is about to kick off in New York, so Lauren Collins and Michael Joyce, both partners at the law firm of Vinson & Elkins, join the show to talk about what to expect from Climate Week, what kinds of news and announcements they will be keeping an eye on and how the overall conversation about Climate Week — and climate coverage in general — has evolved over the years.

Securing a carbon-neutral future requires seismic shifts across the global energy system. And as a versatile, powerful energy carrier, hydrogen promises to play a vital role.

Hydrogen can play a vital role in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy, and momentum for it has never been stronger, especially since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. Both governments and companies see the enormous potential of low-carbon hydrogen for storing energy, for powering a wide array of applications, and for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, among other important uses.
