Sustainability & You Episode 12 - Rhian-Mari Thomas

In this episode of the Sustainability & You podcast we interview Dr. Rhian-Mari Thomas, CEO of the Green Finance Institute. Rhian-Mari spent 20 years in banking and was awarded an OBE for services to green banking. We talk about the role of finance in the race to zero, but specifically more innovative financial models and products. There is a call to think more creatively about how we devise financial solutions that meet the needs nations that require capital inflows to fund green projects. It becomes clear that the catalytic effect of the GFI in creating environments of collaboration and innovation is a much needed resource, with impactful examples shared on where it is making a difference. We also talk about the role of women in this sector, the difference being made and the need to support and elevate women further.
