Jan and Paul welcome Professor Mark Shackleton to the podcast to discuss the world of finance and how it intersects with sustainability.
They discover why the King can’t enter the City of London without permission; whether investors actually care about sustainability – or are only in it for the profits; how data can be used to influence ‘green’ investing; and the power of shareholders to instigate change.
Among discussions of ethics and politics, they find the time to talk about physics and Paul’s strange childhood fascination with global stock exchanges.
