Pensions For Purpose: How to make pensions a catalyst for positive change

Rewiring finance – how to change financial systems: Laasya Shekaran, Richard Giles and Lindsay Hooper

Pensions For Purpose Season 2 Episode 11

Laasya Shekaran welcomes Lindsay Hooper of the University of Cambridge, to the Podcast to discuss why sustainable finance hasn’t delivered the progress needed.

Sustainable Finance has been around for a while, but we still haven’t seen enough progress to tackle the immense systemic issues we face. If we do not address these problems directly, we risk witnessing environmental and social destruction, ultimately leading to total economic collapse.

In this episode of the Pensions for Purpose podcast, our hosts Laasya Shekaran and Richard Giles speak to Lindsay Hooper, CEO of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), about why we haven’t made enough progress and how systems thinking can help tackle today’s most pressing challenges. We discuss the need for ESG and sustainable finance to be more accessible and inclusive, as well as the different actions that market participants can take to drive forward systems change.
