Jul.30 — Money is flooding into sustainable finance at a pace that has never been seen before. But, as companies and countries pump cash into climate projects, how can we differentiate the change-makers from the profit-takers? In this edition of “Bloomberg Green” we break down the institutions trying to define what makes sustainable investments ‘green’. Plus, we talk to the CEO of European private equity house EQT about a world-first: a bond issuance linked to sustainable goals where failure to meet targets means a bigger payout for investors.

In this video, I provide a basic overview of sustainable finance and some of the major investment strategies employed for social and environmental considerations and impact.
