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":"How Green Bonds Are Becoming the New Corporate Bond Standard","slug":"how-green-bonds-are-becoming-the-new-corporate-bond-standard","published_at":"2026-07-15T06:57:15+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/how-green-bonds-are-becoming-the-new-corporate-bond-standard","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-0112.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0112.mp3","summary":"Episode 112 of Climate Economics with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna explore how green bonds are evolving from a niche product into a mainstream corporate financing tool. They discuss the latest data from the Climate Bonds Initiative showing global green bond issuance surpassed $600 billion last year, and dive into how the EU's new Green Bond Standard is setting a global benchmark. The episode examines a specific case: how a major utility company used a green bond to refinance its entire wind and solar portfolio at a lower cost than conventional debt, and why investors are now demanding green labels on nearly half of new bond issues. Lucas and Luna also touch on the risk of greenwashing and how third-party verification is tightening. This episode covers the economics of green bonds, the role of institutional investors, and what this means for corporate capital allocation going forward. #GreenBonds #SustainableFinance #ESGInvesting #ClimateBondsInitiative #GreenBondStandard #EU #CorporateFinance #Greenwashing #ClimateFinance #RenewableEnergy #BondMarket #InstitutionalInvestors #CarbonTransition #Economics #ClimateEconomics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimateAction Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 112 of Climate Economics with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna explore how green bonds are evolving from a niche product into a mainstream corporate financ…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":582,"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/how-green-bonds-are-becoming-the-new-corporate-bond-standard/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/how-green-bonds-are-becoming-the-new-corporate-bond-standard.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
