In this episode, we speak with Nikki Kemp, Executive Director at the Singapore Green Finance Centre, about what it will take to mobilise capital for Asia’s transition. Drawing on her background across institutional banking and sustainable finance advisory, Nikki discusses what transition finance means beyond funding assets that are already green, why the diversity of Asia’s economies and energy systems makes this work complex, and why a just transition needs to hold jobs and development alongside emissions reduction.
In this episode, we speak with Karanraj Chaudri, Regional Specialist at UNDP Asia-Pacific and Sustainable Finance Advisor at UNDP in India, about the evolving role of blended and innovative financing mechanisms in advancing climate and development outcomes.

In this episode, we speak with Charlie Langdale, CEO of Humanity Insured, to discuss how insurance can serve as a tool for climate resilience rather than just risk transfer. From its origins at COP26 to on-the-ground projects protecting displaced communities, farming households, and urban workers across 20+ countries, Charlie walks us through the practicalities of making parametric insurance work for people who have never had a financial safety net. The conversation explores what blended finance and concessional capital can unlock, where parametric insurance hits its limits, and what needs to change in policy and funding to reach the 3.6 billion people living on the climate frontline.
