3: Ahead of the Curve, with SYSTEMIQ: Reducing the Cost of Capital
Season 9, Episode 3, Nov 10, 2021, 05:41 PM
As finance starts to move towards clean solutions, the cost of capital will decrease. Are governments and financial institutions doing enough to incentivise this and make investing in old industries less attractive? And what is preventing capital from flowing to developing economies, where it's needed most urgently, fast enough and at the scale previously promised?
Nick Stern (Chairman of the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change) considers where finance is flowing and explain the economic, political, and societal conditions that will pivot capital towards green businesses whilst also directing capital to the world's developing economies.
