What if fixing the planet isn’t about one big breakthrough, but ten thousand small changes?

In this episode of The Sustainable Transformation Podcast, Kiarne Treacy sits down with Mick Liubinskas, Co-Founder of Climate Salad, a community accelerating the growth of Australia’s climate tech ecosystem.

Mick shares how Climate Salad’s over 800 climate tech companies are building solutions that are not just sustainable, but genuinely better. From AI data centres cooled by recycled greywater, to insect farms turning supermarket waste into fertilizer, these innovations are proving sustainability and profitability can (and must) scale together.

He also unpacks why optimism matters more than ever, and why he’s certain, not just hopeful, that by 2028, sustainable products will simply be the default.

 

You’ll hear and learn:
Why Mick believes we only need to change 10,000 things to achieve sustainable development
How Australia’s climate tech startups are solving real problems, from waste to energy storage
What happens when AI and sustainability collide, and how they can actually power each other
Why commercialisation and adoption, not invention, are the next big challenges
How “buying Australian innovation” creates a 10x ripple effect for jobs and the planet
What gives Mick absolute certainty that we’re on the cusp of the next great tech wave

 

This episode is a must-listen for business leaders, investors, and sustainability professionals who want to see how innovation, impact and commercial success can thrive together.
