Some industry groups have for years succeeded in undermining effective climate policies. And there's no sign of them stopping.

Great to chat with Murray Griffin in the latest 'Track Changes' pod.

Terrific to hear about all the public policy work taking place, especially in Asia.

Since the Paris Agreement in 2015 most countries with these public banks have continued to support fossil fuel projects, like gas infrastructure in Africa and Asia.

If the world is to mobilise the trillions needed to reach #NetZero by 2050, export credit agencies will need to shift out of fossil fuels and into renewable energy. Our research suggests that will not be easy.
