COVID-19 and the subsequent social and economic crises have underlined once more that we must urgently address the severe shortcomings in our present-day economies and societies. We must intensify our efforts to combat climate change, loss of biodiversity, and rising inequality, and build an economy that is fit for the future: one that is more resilient, more sustainable, and more inclusive.

Investors play a crucial role in the transition to this new economy, providing the capital needed to realise real and profound change. The investment choices they make can have a positive impact on our planet and on society, and at the same time safeguard their chances of solid long-term investment returns.

In a series of articles and podcasts Hans Stegeman, Chief Investment Strategist at Triodos Investment Management, explores the contours of a future-proof economy, and the ways to get there.

In this first episode, Hans Stegeman and ecological economist Tim Jackson, author of the books 'Prosperity without Growth' and 'Post Growth', discuss the need for a new economic system:

• What could a sustainable economy look like and how to transition to such an economy
• How to mobilise the necessary capital for this transition
• The role of the financial sector in the transition
