How is ageing redefining mindsets, reshaping healthcare, and influencing finance?

Welcome to Money for Change, a brand-new podcast from Triodos Bank! In this weekly podcast, the Impact & Economics team will share insights and challenges related to our core question: how can we transition to a more balanced and just world? Each episode, we’ll be joined by Hans Stegeman, Triodos Bank’s Chief Economist. Together, we’ll dive into various topics and current affairs related to this overarching question, exploring ways in which these necessary changes might be realized. In this episode, we explore the profound challenges and opportunities posed by our aging population. As healthcare systems face unprecedented demand, we discuss how innovative care models and financing are stepping up to meet this shift. To help us unpack these complex dynamics, we’re joined by Mavric Webbstock, head of the Wellbeing Transition at Triodos Bank UK. An expert in financing healthcare facilities for elderly age groups, he shares insights on how financing can serve the goal of providing people with the highest quality of life for the longest period of time, which changes the mindset of how we perceive elderly care and life more generally. Hans Stegeman also provides us with a news update and his perspective on the result of the Climate Conference (COP 29) that wrapped up this weekend.Host: Emma de LeeuwFixed guest; Hans StegemanGuest; Mavric WebbstockIf you have any comments or questions about this episode, feel free to contact us using the form on our webpage:https://www.triodos.com/en/podcasts/money-for-change Graph on health expenditure per capita and life expectancy: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/life-expectancy-vs-health-expenditure Fossil fuel non-proliferation treaty; https://www.triodos.com/en/fossil-fuel-non-proliferation-treaty
