In a new episode of the ESG Insider podcast, Dr. Şebnem Şener, Head of Private Finance for the SDGs at UNDP’s Sustainable Finance Hub, explores the challenges and opportunities of mobilizing private finance to tackle climate change, food insecurity, and poverty.

At the same time, she emphasizes that sustainable investment must remain financially viable: “Profitability needs to be there.”
