How can money actually fight climate change? In this episode of the Leaf Media Global Podcast, host @Ben Stimpson-Wood sits down with @Maya Hennerkes, Director of Green Financial Systems at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). Maya shares how sustainable finance is transforming economies from Morocco to Mongolia — and why she's a proud "reformed banker".

If you've ever wondered how finance, policy, and sustainability truly intersect — and how development banks are engaged in climate action — this is your must-listen episode.
