The fight against climate change has strong implications for economic inequality and social injustice.

In this episode of Sustainable Sustainability, hosts Teymoor Nabili and Rajeev Peshawaria explore this complex intersection with Nick Robbins, a leading expert in sustainable finance and Professor in Practice at the Just Transition Finance Lab at the London School of Economics (LSE).

Nick unpacks the concept of the Just Transition—a framework that ensures the journey to a net-zero world prioritises not just environmental outcomes but also fairness and inclusivity. From reshaping financial systems to embedding equity into ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles, the conversation reveals how finance can be a transformative tool for communities and workers most affected by the green transition.

This episode offers a powerful roadmap for policymakers, businesses, and investors seeking to balance climate action with social justice. Whether you’re passionate about sustainability or just curious about the future of finance, you won’t want to miss this compelling discussion about building a greener, fairer world.
