With edie readers working remotely or on furlough, this ongoing series of video interviews keeps you connected to the inspirational business leaders who are continuing to drive sustainability and champion climate action from their own homes.

#SustyTalk is all about keeping edie’s loyal readers connected to sustainable business leaders across the world, whilst reminding us all that sustainability and climate action must go on through the current Covid-19 pandemic and beyond.

The latest episode sees edie’s senior reporter Sarah George hosting an exclusive panel talk with three experts on green finance from national governments and the private sector, namely:

– Duncan Grierson, founder and chief executive, Clim8

– Piebe Teeboom, secretary-general, FIA EPTA

– Iskander Erzini Vernoit, policy advisor, E3G

Together, the panel outline the work that must be done in the coming months to scale finance for the transition to a net-zero world and to stem nature loss, all while delivering an economic recovery from Covid-19 and building resilience against future shocks.

They also explore how some of the green finance space’s biggest issues, including greenwashing, could be tackled.
