The Transition Tapes: Episode 4 | Lisa Sachs: Reality checks on sustainable finance thinking

Hear the host and Lisa Sachs talk about:

  • How a positive impact vision of laws and governance could shape finance, investment flows and practices, and renew positive multilateralism.
  • Why sustainability reporting has become a frustrating ‘end’, rather than a means, due in part to the risk focus of Mark Carney's Tragedy of the Horizon’s speech 10 years ago.
  • The challenge of bringing scientists, engineers and financiers together for co-ordinated planning for public goods.
  • Why sustainable finance is like trying to pilot a broken plane through turbulence, and why it’s painful to watch failed radar for climate finance now being applied with gusto to biodiversity!
