The transition to sustainable finance is moving faster than expected. In this conversation, Nina Seega, Director at the Centre for Sustainable Finance at Cambridge Institute for Sustainable Leadership, details to Nik Gowing why net zero is cheaper than many assume, the industries leading the charge, and why sustainability is a financial imperative.
Nina highlights that transition costs have dropped by 73%, with UK households projected to save £1,400 annually by 2040. Yet, scepticism persists, driven above all by a short-term risk focus and negative narratives.
“Businesses must embed sustainability at their core—not as a compliance exercise, but as a strategy for long-term profitability,” Nina emphasises. Financial institutions are already adapting, and those doing so are gaining a competitive edge.Watch now to understand why the positive data should convince companies to act fast to stay ahead.
