In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we sit down on the sidelines of CERAWeek with Ana Carolina Oliveira, Head of Sustainable Finance in the Americas for ING, a global banking and financial services corporation headquartered in Amsterdam.

Ana explains how ING is working with companies across sectors to facilitate the low-carbon transition — including by financing emerging low-carbon technologies.

"If you think about the $5 trillion that needs to be put every year to finance transition by 2030, believe it or not, this money is out there," Ana says. "The challenge is this mismatch between legacy risk-return profiles, the way banks were wired to look at risk-return for something now that still needs to be scaled and the technology sometimes still needs to be proven."
