This week’s episode of Green Minds features Haysam Azhar, who works as an analyst working on blended finance transactions for developing countries at the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI). The CPI is an analysis and advisory organisation with expertise in finance and policy. Its Global Innovation Lab for Climate Finance has mobilised over $4 billion to address climate change.
In this episode, guest co-host Huzefah and Lorenzo interview Haysam about his personal motivations for working on tackling climate change, how his undergraduate degree spanning seven countries shaped his outlook, his work at the CPI developing blended finance mechanisms in emerging markets, his co-authorship of a playbook on how corporations can design effective climate finance strategies, and his advice for young professionals starting their career in the climate space.
