Building Bridges is proud to launch the Building Bridges 2025 Podcast season, recorded live around the Sixth Edition of Building Bridges and the second season in collaboration with The Geneva Connection. This new season brings together senior voices shaping the global sustainable finance agenda, capturing the most important conversations from our flagship conference.

Presentada por Patrick Odier, presidente de Building Bridges, y Karen Hitschke, directora ejecutiva de Building Bridges, la serie explora soluciones innovadoras y oportunidades de inversión en finanzas sostenibles, innovación y datos de impacto, resiliencia en la economía construida, deber fiduciario y la dinámica cambiante de los mercados globales.

Esta temporada reúne perspectivas de todo el ecosistema: figuras destacadas de instituciones financieras globales, responsables políticos que dan forma al marco regulatorio, pioneros en datos sobre clima y biodiversidad, líderes de organizaciones internacionales y profesionales que trabajan en primera línea en mercados emergentes. Cada episodio combina voces de diferentes sectores para cuestionar ideas preconcebidas, descubrir tensiones y destacar dónde la colaboración puede generar el mayor impacto. En medio de las dificultades políticas y las urgentes necesidades de capital, estas conversaciones exploran qué se necesita para ampliar las oportunidades creíbles, movilizar inversiones y convertir las ideas innovadoras en realidades de mercado.

This season highlights the pathways through which sustainable finance can drive systemic change, unlock growth, and support long-term prosperity.

Episode 1 | Unstoppable: The Next Chapter of Sustainable Finance

Building Bridges 2025 Podcast season opens with a candid conversation on where sustainable finance stands today. John Kerry, former U.S. Secretary of State and Co-Executive Chair of Galvanize, and Rhian-Mari Thomas, CEO of the Green Finance Institute, join Patrick Odier, Chairman of Building Bridges, to examine the shifting landscape of sustainable finance — from political headwinds and public polarisation to the credibility gap between ambition and investable opportunities.

Together, they discuss record flows into clean energy, the evolution of ESG, and the urgent challenge of directing capital toward early-stage solutions and emerging markets.

The season is available as audio on Spotify and Apple podcast platforms and, for the first time, as a special video edition.
