This podcast aims to mainstream Climate Finance into the financial ecosystem. 

Problems

The IPCC projects that between 1.6 to 3.8 trillion USD of low-carbon investments are required annually until 2050. The Climate Policy Initiative estimates that the 2020 Climate Finance flows were 632 billion USD.

Since 0.06% of finance research is related to Climate Finance, there is limited academic and educational content for investors, students, academicians, and policymakers to increase climate-related investments urgently.
