Brews, Bites and Banter with Carrick Reddin (episode 1) - a special Walk Talk Listen series at the UN

In this special episode of Brews, Bites, and Banter – A Sustainability Sip & Share on Walk Talk Listen, we are joined by Carrick Reddin, Manager II of the Faith and Sustainability Initiative at the World Resources Institute (WRI). With over eight years of experience leading sustainable development, urban planning, and governance projects across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America, Carrick shares insights from his extensive cross-sectoral work. He plays a crucial role in developing and managing global partnerships and fundraising efforts to mobilize faith-based organizations towards climate action and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

In today’s episode, we introduced three symbolic items—coffee beans, an SDG pin, and a rubber duckie—to inspire conversations about sustainability. Carrick chose the rubber duckie, sparking a thoughtful discussion on economic sustainability and the need to rethink how we approach development and equity. Tune in to hear Carrick's reflections on creating vibrant, resilient, and inclusive communities and how his work supports the urgent global sustainability agenda highlighted during the UNGA, Climate Week, and the Summit of the Future.
