“There has been chaos and immaturity… now adults are back” With the news (since our episode was recorded on Monday) of climate expert Chris Stark’s appointment to lead a new clean energy task force, and the launch of a National Wealth Fund to raise £20B+ from the private sector to finance the UK’s low carbon economy, it seems Tom Rivett-Carnac’s assessment was very much on track 🙌 Hear more in depth analysis on the UK and French elections from Tom, Christiana Figueres and Paul Dickinson in our latest episode, wherever you get your podcasts 🎧

The World Bank Spring Meetings are starting next week. Discussions on the current replenishment of IDA – the concessional window of the World Bank - will take centre stage. IDA is the largest source of highly affordable finance the world’s 75 poorest countries can access. This matters even more now as needs are soaring and financing options at concessional terms are stable. For contributing donors IDA offers excellent value for money. At the moment every $1 of donor contributions generates $4 in new operations. Client countries find it effective. Multilateral aid including IDA scores way better than bilateral aid when it comes to the principles of development effectiveness - the evidence is very clear on this. In this latest ODI Think Change Podcast Yaye Seynabou Sakho Gregory Chen Sara Pantuliano and I debate why IDA matters and how it can deliver better for its clients. 🎧 Listen here https://lnkd.in/ezi3K_P6 (and I look forward to speaking from the swish new recording studio at ODI next time!)
The world today faces many overlapping crises – economic shocks, conflicts, the impacts of climate change, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic recovery. And in this age of the 'poly-crisis' the need for concessional finance is greater than ever, says our Principal Research Fellow Annalisa Prizzon. As we head into the Spring Meetings, our latest Think Change podcast puts a spotlight on why it is so critical to provide lower-income countries with more concessional finance – the biggest source of which is The World Bank's IDA fund. At this time of soaring needs, Annalisa highlights why IDA has such great potential to deliver transformative change in countries most in need. Think Change is available on your preferred podcast app. You can also listen to the episode here: https://lnkd.in/e3bRQM5H 🎙 #ThinkChangePodcast #SpringMeetings #IDA #IDAReplenishment #WorldBank #ReformMDBs

Nouriel Roubini’s lecture on “Megathreats” focuses on ten interconnected risks that threaten global stability and prosperity. He outlines concerns such as climate change, financial instability, geopolitical tensions, demographic shifts, technological disruptions, and pandemics. Roubini argues that these threats interact in ways that amplify their impacts, creating a perfect storm for the global economy and society. He warns that without coordinated international efforts, these challenges could lead to severe economic downturns, social upheaval, and even potential collapse of international order. Roubini emphasizes the urgency of collective action to mitigate these risks. Extreme in his views as usual but a highly stimulating podcast.

A very good podcast of the Red Sea situation by Lloyd’s list for those who want to know about the background and development of the incident, and how it impacts world trade. In addition to the views from experts, I think one of the most important points this podcast host raised was “free trade is not a given”. Red Sea aside, the safety and future of Strait, Black Sea and Arctic Sea are all in question. We should not take things (peace especially) for granted. Geopolitical implications are real, and they hit harder than you think. Anyone wants to be ahead of the game must have a good understanding of geopolitical issues. #pruesnote

Nature underpins the global economy, yet it’s being lost at an unprecedented rate—threatening the natural systems crucial for poverty alleviation and securing food, water, and livelihoods. The sector-specific Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework is pivotal in assessing and disclosing nature-related risks, opportunities, and impacts. However, businesses must champion a nature-positive future that goes beyond their own operations. Listen to the latest episode of edie’s #SustyTalks podcast, where ICMM’s Rohitesh Dhawan shares insights on how ICMM is driving a nature-positive future through collective industry action: https://lnkd.in/eSWV-sRk

Founder and CEO at Metabolic || Impact Entrepreneur | Systems Thinker | Charting the Path to Life Within Planetary Boundaries
I'm having an extended New York Climate Week: still on the East Coast pursuing some interesting conversations about how to accelerate finance toward the transition of cities and bioregions. Enjoying the last dregs of summery weather before I head back to the cold, grey Netherlands. Since I haven't yet been able to step back and fully process the takeaways from the couple dozen events we co-hosted or participated in, here is a quick snippet. Please check out this conversation I had with Anne Sophie Garrigou of Climate-KIC where I reflect on the "Missing Trillions" - the massive gap in climate and transition finance. Over the course of a year of hosting dialogues on this topic, I have personally gotten to a point of clarity: 💰 The economic and financial systems are not designed to drive capital to the paces it needs to go for decarbonization and regeneration. 💸 Redesigning the system & building alternatives is something we should pursue, but it will take way too long to put a dent in the problem on the timescale we need. We will continue in parallel. 💲 Blended capital instruments (different kinds of capital with different risk profiles), deployed in a way to distribute risk and reward among whole groups of actors (in a place-based or sectoral way) are essential to drive capital in the right direction. They are a hack! They allow for continued problematic incentives. But they are necessary to circumventing the blockages in the system and unlocking the Missing Trillions. Curious if anyone knows of other hacks of this type. We have spent a year cataloguing and exploring. There are plenty of other lessons we have learned, but many solutions ultimately converge around this typology. Thank you Climate-KIC and Anne-Sophie Clulow-Garrigou for the conversation! #NYCW #MissingTrillions #SustainableFinance #systemschange
🎧💲 Where are the missing trillions in climate finance, and how can we unlock them? In the latest "How Could We?" podcast episode, our CEO Eva Gladek joins Anne-Sophie Clulow-Garrigou of Climate-KIC to discuss why vital investments in climate finance are still lagging—and what we can do to close the gap. Gladek also talks about the current crowd investment campaign and calls Metabolic a ‘systemic investing portfolio’. “We are offering a 9% loan to support our scale-up. We have a diversified market and capital strategy, we've been growing at 33% per year the last five years. We’re inviting people to join us and become part of our community” Listen to find out more: Here is the Spotify link: https://lnkd.in/dCECde2K Apple podcast: https://lnkd.in/dHP4QRDd Amazon Music: https://lnkd.in/dM9tCiZa To become Metabolic investor, visit our project (in Dutch): https://bit.ly/4gzYmR1 #ClimateFinance #Metabolic #HowCouldWe #SystemicChange #CrowdInvesting
