“Green investments”, “sustainable funds”, “100% ecological capital”, “blue planet”... Such are the feel-good buzzwords used by asset managers to sell financial products that are supposed to promote sustainable development and contribute to the climate transition. But how sustainable are they really?
Laureates of several prestigious awards, including the Climate Journalism Award and the Covering Climate Now Journalism Awards, Stefano Valentino (Bertha Challenge 2024 fellow) and Giorgio Michalopoulos have conducted months of specialist reporting on green finance.
Their work, done in partnership with European Collaborative Investigations, sheds light on a murky world where Europe’s moneymen are taking ruthless advantage of linguistic ambiguity and legal loopholes to continue financing carbon-spewing corporations – thus contributing to the very climate crisis they claim to be fighting.
Stefano and Giorgio tell us the story behind their investigation in this special Live event, joined by Nicola Stefan Koch, from the NGO 2° Investment Initiative. The conversation is moderated by Catherine André and Gian-Paolo Accardo. This event is in partnership with the Bertha Foundation, European Investigative Collaborations and 2° Investment Initiative.
A conversation with investigative reporters Stefano Valentino and Giorgio Michalopoulos, who have dissected the dark underbelly of green finance for Voxeurop and won several awards for their work.
