The Road Ahead For Sustainable Finance

From COP26 to the boom in ESG investment funds, sustainable finance has been a hot topic in 2021. Kenneth E. Bentsen, Jr., president and CEO of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) and CEO of the Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA), joins the show to discuss the crucial role capital markets will continue to play in efforts to decarbonize the global economy. On the heels of GFMA’s 2nd Annual Global Capital Markets Sustainable Finance Conference earlier this week, Bentsen outlines the regulatory landscape for sustainable finance and explains how voluntary and compliance carbon markets are a key part of the energy transition. Bentsen also notes how securitization could boost the build out of more renewable energy projects.
