Speakers
In this session, Gabrielle Walker sat down with Marisa Drew — one of the most influential figures in sustainable finance — for an in-depth conversation about what it really takes to scale climate finance.
📣 What we covered:
- Making transition finance credible at scale: Marisa shared what it actually looks like to finance industries with limited credit history and no existing playbook — and what she learned building the structures to make it work.
- How CSOs navigate CFOs, boards, and internal dynamics: From being "the annoying agitator" to racing to keep up with internal demand, Marisa walked through how she brought sceptical colleagues along on the journey.
- The role carbon removal must play in net zero: Marisa talked through why carbon markets are a necessary part of net zero, and why buying early makes financial sense — sharing the story behind Standard Chartered's deal with CUR8 and what it signalled to the market.
