Baringa's Climate & Sustainability trailblazers – a Financial Services podcast

We are constantly reminded that Climate Change is the greatest challenge facing humanity. We believe it can be solved but it will require a systemic and fair transition across consumers, investors, governments and regulators. In this podcast, we explore how society plays a critical role in achieving net zero, the opportunities associated with climate change and sustainability, as well as how to navigate the risks. Each episode will address some of the some of the greatest challenges and trade-offs financial services leaders need to make over the next 3-5 years. We will share insight into how leaders from around the globe are redesigning their businesses to create positive change.
