Climate disasters are intensifying globally, with vulnerable nations facing disproportionate impacts despite minimal contributions to global emissions. From prolonged droughts in East Africa to intensifying cyclones in the Pacific, these events reveal a troubling paradox:
As the Expert Review on Debt, Nature and Climate demonstrates, countries must borrow to recover from disasters, yet face financial systems that:
- Penalise them for climate risks they didn't create
- Exacerbate vulnerabilities through rising sovereign defaults
- Fail to support long-term resilience investments
This episode examines three critical dimensions:
- Systemic reforms needed to align debt frameworks with climate reality
- Distributional challenges preventing finance from reaching frontline communities
- Innovative proposals to achieve climate justice through financial transformation

- Moritz Kraemer, Chief Economist, LBBW; Co-Chair, Expert Review on Debt, Nature and Climate
