5 - “Green” financial products and their climate impact

What this episode covers

Let's talk about greenwashing and how  “green” financial products can have a positive impact on climate change. The term “greenwashing” has been appearing on the news quite a lot so far. In June, for example, one case made the headlines: "Consumer groups from 19 countries complained about seventeen airlines making false claims about the sustainability of flying." Very well-known companies were basically caught greenwashing, including Ryanair and Air France. The financial industry is no exception. To get a better sense of the scale of the situation, we've invited Ties Gijzel from Follow the Money onto the show.
