Each episode examines a specific mechanism — from EU ETS permit prices to the impact of US Inflation Reduction Act subsidies on corporate balance sheets — and traces how these policies ripple through energy markets, manufacturing, and consumer prices. Lucas brings the numbers and institutional context (how the World Bank's carbon pricing dashboard works, what the Social Cost of Carbon actually measures), while Luna pushes for the practical implications: does a €50 carbon tax actually change behavior? What happens when a steel plant in Germany faces both emission costs and Chinese competition? The show serves investors, policy analysts, and business leaders who need to understand climate-related financial risk without the activism or greenwashing. Listeners walk away able to parse a carbon offset market, evaluate a company's net-zero roadmap, and spot the difference between a real price signal and a political slogan. How do you put a number on a ton of carbon — and who pays when that number is wrong? #CarbonPricing #GreenPolicy #SustainabilityCosts #EUETS #Infla…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T06:19:03.667812+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781"},"episode":{"title":"Green Bonds Are Not What You Think","slug":"green-bonds-are-not-what-you-think","published_at":"2026-06-09T18:55:38+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/green-bonds-are-not-what-you-think","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0041.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0041.mp3","summary":"Green bonds have exploded into a trillion-dollar market, but a growing gap between what issuers label 'green' and what actually gets funded has regulators circling. In this episode, Lucas and Luna drill into the specific case of a controversial 'green' bond from a major European utility that raised €500 million for what turned out to be a mix of renewable energy and natural gas infrastructure. They walk through the EU's new Green Bond Standard, the role of second-party opinions, and why the 'greenium' — the price premium investors pay for green bonds — may be built on shaky verification. If you own a green bond ETF or have wondered whether your portfolio's climate credentials are real, this episode gives you one concrete question to ask about any green bond you come across. #GreenBonds #Greenwashing #EU #SustainableFinance #ClimateEconomics #BondMarket #Greenium #EUGBS #RenewableEnergy #NaturalGas #Regulation #Investing #ESG #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimatePolicy #Transparency Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Green bonds have exploded into a trillion-dollar market, but a growing gap between what issuers label 'green' and what actually gets funded has regulators…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":375,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/episodes/green-bonds-are-not-what-you-think/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/green-bonds-are-not-what-you-think.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
