Created in partnership with Building Bridges and recorded during the 2025 Edition, Season 3 brings together leading voices from finance, policy, business, and innovation to tackle sustainable finance’s most critical questions.
As growing urgency and complexity reshape the global landscape, these conversations spotlight scalable finance solutions that address systemic risks and unlock long-term value. They reveal where meaningful collaboration is happening across sectors, how to sharpen the investment case for sustainability, and what it takes to drive capital toward real-world impact.
Mobilising the trillions needed for the UN Sustainable Development Goals requires more than good intentions — it demands new models of investment, collaboration, and risk-sharing. But why isn’t capital flowing where it’s needed most? And how can we change that?
This season of the Geneva Connection has been created in partnership with the SDG Impact Finance Initiative (SIFI). This time, we take listeners on a journey through the development finance ecosystem, from understanding the fundamental challenge to exploring emerging solutions and the reforms needed to make them work at scale. We speak with leading economists, platform builders, investment practitioners, and policy experts to unpack how impact investing, blended finance and catalytic capital can transform how we finance sustainable development.
The inaugural season of the Geneva Connection has been created in partnership with the Building Bridges Foundation. It comprises five episodes, diving into key themes such as nature finance, impact investing, transition finance, and the social and equity dimensions of finance. It features insights from the latest Building Bridges Summit, held in December 2024.
The season tackles the fundamental question: How can finance become a force for positive change in addressing our planet’s most urgent challenges? Through in-depth conversations with leading practitioners, policymakers, and thought leaders, each episode unpacks a crucial dimension of sustainable finance, offering both strategic insights and practical solutions for mobilising capital toward a more sustainable and equitable future.
