Episode 16: Financing a green tomorrow for the city of Bath

In this episode of Better Cities by Design, we head to the City of Bath in the UK, for a conversation with James Hooton, Managing Director of the Green Finance Institute (GFI). Bath is an ancient city with many very old buildings. But just like any other city, Bath is also striving to become more sustainable and that means these buildings need to be retrofitted, so they use less energy and therefore contribute less to climate change. GFI is working to help with this by channeling capital at pace and scale towards real-economy outcomes that will create jobs and increase prosperity for all. Join our host Davion and James for a conversation about the role of finance in the transition to a clean, resilient, and environmentally sustainable economy.
