- Climate Rising
Fred Krupp, president of the non-profit Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), describes
EDF’s work to address climate change through scientific, economic, and legal analyses,
working with governments and companies, and public and legal advocacy for stronger
climate and other environmental practices and policies. Fred joined us to talk about
MethaneSAT, EDF’s new satellite that was recently launched to monitor emissions of
methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from oil and gas operations. Fred describes why
EDF entered the satellite business, how its satellite differs from others already
in orbit, the many partners EDF enlisted to design and deploy the satellite, how AI
is deployed in the process, and what new opportunities this satellite will provide
for EDF and the rest of us.

Shell’s Balancing Act: Resource Allocation and the Green Transition (Abridged)
- JULY 2024

- Case
In mid-2023, amid pressure from climate change activists, shareholder activists, and confronting enormous uncertainty about the future demand for and price of fossil fuels, new Shell CEO Wael Sawan (Harvard MBA 2003) announced a change in strategy for the U.K. oil major. Maintaining that, “We’re not an oil-and-gas-only investment case, and we’re not a renewables-only investment case,” he stated that Shell would remain “balanced” and “disciplined while delivering compelling shareholder returns.” Yet, in a shift in how resources were to be allocated across “Three Pillars” during the transition to net zero operations, he placed more emphasis on “return of capital” and “return on capital” and demanded a “fundamental cultural change” in the company. The change in strategy would not just affect the internal allocation of resources across Shell’s different businesses, but would also have important impacts on global climate change and the future mix of fossil fuels and renewables in the economy.
