Robert Swan, OBE, holds a unique place in history as the first person to conquer both the North and South Poles on foot by the age of 33. His epic 900-mile journey to the South Pole, retracing 'In the Footsteps of Scott,' remains the longest unassisted walk ever recorded on Earth.


But could he be the last to trek both poles?


As the pioneer who witnessed vanishing ice firsthand, Swan emphasizes that these polar landscapes are sending us a message — one that implores us to act decisively.


In this episode, join Rajeev Peshawaria, CEO of SAC, and Teymoor Nabili as they explore Robert's firsthand encounters with climate change and discuss actionable steps toward securing a sustainable future.
