In this episode of The Transition Tapes, Hugh Wheelan welcomes Cary Krosinsky, sustainable finance expert, lecturer at NYU Stern and Harvard, author and co-founder of Carbon Tracker.
Drawing on his latest book, Transition Momentum, co-authored with Professor Johnny Huang, Cary discusses why traditional measures of economic growth, such as GDP, may no longer be fit for purpose and how we can better assess progress towards a sustainable economy.
The conversation explores the challenges of accounting for unpriced environmental and financial risks, what ESG investing really means, and how sustainable finance can connect with broader political and grassroots movements to accelerate change.
Cary also shares his favourite music, from Miles Davis to King Crimson and The Grateful Dead, alongside his book, film and podcast recommendations and advice for those pursuing a career in sustainable finance.
