A Vision for Sustainable Investment: Insights from Chair of Global Sustainable Investment Alliance, James Alexander

In this episode, we chat with James Alexander, Chair of the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance (GSIA), about how sustainable finance is reshaping the way we tackle climate change, protect nature, and build fairer societies. Money has the power to drive real change, but there’s still plenty of confusion about what’s genuine progress and what’s just greenwashing. James helps us make sense of what’s happening in sustainable investing right now, why it matters for our future, and how everyday people, not just big institutions, can get involved. If you’ve ever wondered how your investments could help make a difference, this episode is for you.
