Innovation isn’t just about shiny new tech—it’s about people, culture, and those small, everyday changes that add up to big impact. In this episode of the Climate Resilience Podcast, Phil sits down with Nick Law, who leads the commercial side of JBA Labs, our in-house innovation accelerator programme, and Richard Beardsley from Affinity Water to unpack what innovation really means in the face of climate change.

From building a culture that embraces failure to groundbreaking projects like JSat, JBA’s spectral analysis tool, and Resilient Studio, the trio explores how fresh ideas, bold experiments, and even small tweaks can transform how we adapt to a fast-changing world.

Tune in for insights on risk-taking, creativity, and the future of resilient places, systems, and communities.
