Can sustai­nab­le fi­nan­ce save the wor­ld? New po­dcast with Las­se Heje Pe­der­sen

Can sustai­nab­le in­ve­st­ment funds help save the wor­ld – or is their ef­fect more li­mi­ted than many hope? In this po­dcast epi­so­de, Las­se Heje Pe­der­sen di­scus­ses his la­test re­search and the role of in­ve­st­ments in dri­ving real chan­ge.

Lasse Heje Pedersen, Professor at CBS and Director of the Center for Big Data in Finance (BIGFI), is featured in an episode of the Rig på Viden podcast.

The episode focuses on his latest research and explores a central question: Can sustainable investment funds contribute to solving major challenges, or is their effect more limited than often assumed?

The conversation centres on capital, climate, and incentives, and on whether investments can create real-world change.
