Contributor(s): Melinda Bohannon, Dr Vera Songwe, Dr Sudarno Sumarto, Professor Chris Woodruff | Climate finance is a critical tool in supporting low-income countries as they face the growing impacts of climate change. These nations, despite contributing the least to global emissions, are often the most vulnerable to climate-related shocks such as extreme weather, rising sea levels, and food insecurity. Yet, they frequently lack access to the capital needed to adapt, build resilience, and pursue low-carbon development. Unlocking investment for climate action in low-income countries requires a coordinated effort between governments, development banks, private investors, and international organisations.

  • Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.

  • Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.

  • Welcome everyone.

  • My name is Robin Burgess and I just wanted to welcome everyone on behalf of LSE Environment Week,

  • which is hosting this week of events.

  • And I just wanted to say two things on that.

  • The first is that it came out of a a set of PhD students wanting to study environmental economics and then morphed into this huge conference,

  • which now comprises about 30 academic talks, four sets of keynotes, and three evening events.

  • And I think what's kind of special about it, and particularly this year,

  • is that it's kind of a place where we've been bridging between environmental research and environmental policy.

  • And many of the team here in the previous evening events are working with the COP30 president on the kind of action agenda there.

  • So I think without further ado, just wanted to welcome everyone.

  • Thank you so much for coming.

  • It's great to see all of you here.

  • And then thank you.

  • And also the pass to Nick Stern, who is my PhD supervisor.

  • So we have a close relationship.

  • And to introduce the panel and take the thing forward.

  • Thank you.

  • Thank you.
