Episode 8: Investing in Sustainable Cities: Purpose and Profitability
Money makes the world go ‘round, and what it doesn’t ruin it can nurture. In this episode, we talk about the role of investment and finance in advancing nature-friendly, equitable communities. From zero-carbon buildings and green roofs to EV charging stations and bike sharing, sustainable cities require a host of new technologies, infrastructure and sophisticated designs. Who pays for this, and who profits? What kinds of opportunities afford the greatest returns, not only financial, but environmental and social?Joining us to discuss money and sustainable cities are Stuart Bernstein, founder of Sustainable Capital LLC and a 30-year veteran of Goldman Sachs, and Paul Rabinovitch, former Principal of Real Estate at New Island Capital, a leading impact investment firm.
