Watch our COP25 debate on Sustainable finance – the Nordic way

The path we are on is not sustainable regarding the limits of our planet. If nobody slows us down, we may be on a highway to hell. What is the best way for the Nordics to reduce global emissions? Is building battery factories in Swedish Lapland the answer? What are the implications for sustainable finance? Should finance ministers get their act together? Is there any Nordic value-added in the debate?

These were the topics discussed during our COP25 debate ‘Sustainable finance – the Nordic way’, a joint event between Stockholm and Madrid. Watch the discussion here:
