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":"Why Green Bonds Are a Signal Not a Silver Bullet","slug":"why-green-bonds-are-a-signal-not-a-silver-bullet","published_at":"2026-06-23T19:21:44+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/climate-economics-with-fexingo-carbon-pricing-green-policy-and-sustainability-costs-7871781/why-green-bonds-are-a-signal-not-a-silver-bullet","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-0069.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/climate-economics/episode-0069.mp3","summary":"Episode 69 of Climate Economics with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna unpack the green bond market in mid-2026. With issuance expected to hit $1 trillion this year, green bonds are the fastest-growing fixed-income segment. But a new study from the Climate Bonds Initiative finds that only 60% of labelled green bonds actually fund projects with measurable emissions reductions. The hosts drill into a specific case: a $500 million green bond from a European utility that earmarked funds for both wind farms and natural gas plant upgrades. They explore what this means for investors chasing both returns and impact, and why regulation is starting to demand 'greenium' integrity. If you've wondered whether your green bond portfolio is truly green, this episode offers a focused reality check. #GreenBonds #ClimateBondsInitiative #EuropeanUtility #WindFarms #NaturalGas #Greenium #FixedIncome #ESGInvesting #ClimateFinance #Regulation #CarbonEmissions #ImpactInvesting #SustainableFinance #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimateEconomics #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 69 of Climate Economics with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna unpack the green bond market in mid-2026.
