Money moves the attention of people, investors, and capital owners. Money is part of many solutions to the climate deadlock. But numbers are not enough to calculate the economic value of the climate issue. Numbers are only the final step on a road that passes through many crossroads: climate change has huge economic, social and cultural costs. Assessing these costs is challenging yet vital for our planet's future. And when it comes to climate policies, responding to different climate emergencies requires different lenses.

In this episode, we dive into the world of climate finance through the voices of two experts working in two different fields of economics in two different parts of the globe. Johannes Emmerling is a German economist based in Italy and a senior scientist at the European Institute on Economics and the Environment and at the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change. His research focuses on climate change and energy economics, risk and uncertainty, welfare economics and development. Marc Watum is a development expert from South Africa with a management consulting and project finance background. He is the chairman of Vision 2030 Fund, an African social innovation fund for agriculture, food, and water startups. With them, we explore the cost of climate change and the possible solutions.
