EP4 | Transition Finance: Mobilising Capital for Net-Zero

Guests: Adrian Schatzmann, Anja Hannerz, Helena Viñes Fiestas. In this episode, we explore the fundamentals of transition finance and how financial institutions, businesses, and policymakers are working together to bridge today’s economy with a low-carbon future. With trillions needed annually to stay on track, we ask: Where is capital most needed? Which approaches are delivering results? And how can we make transition finance both effective and equitable?
