🎙️🌱 Sustainability Bridges – Episode 37
For this episode of Sustainability Bridges, we are happy to be joined by Peter Sweatman, CEO of Climate Strategy & Partners, member of Spain’s Sustainable Finance Council, former rapporteur for the G20 and EU Commission-UNEPFI, as well as author of over 25 white papers on financing the energy and climate transition.
Together, we explore:
- What the proposal for the next EU Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) includes, and how effective design can mobilise private capital.
- The main barriers currently holding back private investments from flowing on the scale needed for Europe’s sustainable transition.
- How the InvestEU guarantees and the proposed European Competitiveness Fund (ECF) could help unlock significantly more private investment for the clean transition.
