Climate Connections: Financing a People-Centered Green Transition
Jun 4, 2024Tap to summarizeAt the COP28 Summit, for the first time since nations began meeting some three decades ago, nearly 200 countries convened by the United Nations approved a milestone plan to ramp up renewable energy and transition away from coal, oil and gas. With all eyes on the new deal - that is not legally binding and can’t, on its own, force any country to act - “transition finance” is shaping up to be one of this year’s most important topics in the climate space but how just is this transition? On this episode of Climate Connections, Sharan Burrow, Former General Secretary, International Trade Union Confederation and Global Board of Director, World Resources Institute shares her insights on why a just transition is so important and why people must be at the center of this green transition. Sharan recently spoke at the 2024 Ecosperity Week spearheaded by Temasek.

In this episode of Climate Connections, find out how 2023 Earthshot Prize Finalist, Orianna Bretschger, Co-Founder & CEO of Aquacycl is reinventing the entire wastewater treatment process to make it simpler and friendlier to the planet.
