What if banks incentivised climate action?

Bruce Whitfield

In this thought-provoking talk, journalist and author Bruce Whitfield examines the "poacher turned gamekeeper" approach pioneered by Rwanda's former game ranger Edwin Sabuhoro. Drawing parallels to combat climate change, Bruce suggests incentivising industries for sustainable practices. Edwin's solution successfully reduced poaching in Volcanoes National Park, and now Bruce proposes that banks can contribute significantly by providing performance incentive loans to corporate clients based on their climate outcomes. Can the convergence of Edwin's approach and Bruce's idea propel us towards a greener future?
