At the Central and Eastern European Sustainable Finance Summit in Prague, Bogdana Leshchyshyn, Research Associate in the Stockholm Environment Institute’s Green Agenda team, explored why credible industrial decarbonisation plans may still struggle to attract finance and how better risk allocation can help. She also discussed why this matters for Ukraine’s reconstruction.
