The problem with "mobilizing private capital" to fight climate change in the Global South is that it's way harder than policymakers make it sound. Institutional investors can't do it! I'm back in Phenomenal World's The Polycrisis series to explain why not: phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the-i…

The biggest problem in climate finance today is not derisking per se. It's that policymakers' insist on "unlocking" the private sector in emerging markets without making any efforts to fix the global financial system that warps how investment flows in the first place.

Can “mobilising the trillions” of private capital save the world? advait explores what institutional investors can actually do in the latest The Polycrisis essay phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the-i…

"For the first time in two centuries, the West is no longer the leader in future technology, but the follower." That's the key thread in the excellent new The Polycrisis piece on the BRICS in 2025 phenomenalworld.org/analysis/brics…

BRICS is transforming. #Fossil Fuels now account for less than half of the bloc’s total electricity generation. Read our latest edition to know more⬇️ phenomenalworld.org/analysis/brics…

Today,all 3 are cracking" theguardian.com/commentisfree/… Read Kate Mackenzie The Polycrisis first for analysis, that's read by millions :) phenomenalworld.org/analysis/brics…
