Policy Voices | What will it take to keep the EUs sustainable finance agenda alive?

Published: May 17, 2024, 4:02 a.m.

On this episode of Policy Voices, host Catarina Vila Nova speaks to Julia Symon, Head of Research and Advocacy at Finance Watch, and Luke O\u2019Callaghan White, Programme Manager for Climate, Energy and Sustainability at Friends of Europe. Friends of Europe recently launched a report on the EU\u2019s sustainable finance agenda. Long gone are the days when tackling climate change was the number one priority of the Commission. With war raging in the continent, priorities have shifted from climate change to security. But as Luke, the co-author of the report, argues, there are immense benefits the EU can amass if it ditches this short-term mentality and starts focusing on long-term climate goals. \n\nIf you want to comment on this episode you can send us an e-mail.
