Dr. Mona Sarfaty is the Executive Director and Founder of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health, comprised of societies representing 70% of all U.S. physicians. She founded the Consortium in 2016 in conjunction with the George Mason University Center for Climate Change. Under her leadership, the Consortium has grown into a nationwide coalition of societies, organizations, and advocates mobilizing support for equitable policies that address the health impacts of climate change. Edward Maibach is Director of the George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication, a distinguished University Professor and communication scientist who is expert in the uses of strategic communication and social marketing to address climate change and related public health challenges. His research – funded by NSF, NASA, and private foundations – focuses on public understanding of climate change and clean energy; and the psychology underlying public engagement. In 2021, Ed was identified by Thompson Reuters as one of the world’s 10 most influential scientists working on climate change.

How do the largest forces in business and culture actually shape the world we live in? Business & Society, a limited series from One Planet Podcast, digs into that complex intersection. Co-hosted by Dr. Bruce Piasecki and Mia Funk, this podcast leverages Piasecki’s four decades as a consultant and New York Times bestselling author who has advised major corporations on sustainability and innovation. The conversations here move beyond abstract theory to examine the practical realities of social response capitalism and shared value. You’ll hear discussions that connect environmental imperatives to management decisions, and public policy to corporate strategy, all framed by a changing global landscape. This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level trends; it’s a deep exploration of how responsible business can function as a genuine agent for climate solutions and societal progress. Each episode in this series naturally weaves together perspectives from business, science, and culture, offering listeners a nuanced understanding of the pressures and possibilities defining our time. For anyone curious about the tangible mechanisms behind headlines on sustainability, corporate responsibility, and economic evolution, this podcast provides essential context and forward-thinking dialogue.
