- E11: Climate FinanceHey, climate warriors! Welcome to the finance battlefield where every dollar fights for our planet's survival. I will be your guide through the jungle of climate cash, and you're listening to World Deconstructed - the podcast that makes geopolitics cooler than your favorite meme. We will dive into the wild world of climate finance, where the only thing hotter than the Earth's temperature is the debate over who foots the bill for saving it. It's like a Marvel movie, but instead of superheroes, we've got governments, corporations, and financial institutions in a colossal tug-of-war over a globe that desperately needs a spa day.#international #internationalaffairs #climatechange #finance #unitednations #unfccc #kyotoprotocol #greenbonds #carbonoffsets #climatefinance #news #politics #diplomacy #parisagreement #cop28 #cop21 #cop28summit #cop28uae #cop28 #global #globalwarming▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Where to listen▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/worlddeconstructedApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/world-deconstructed/id1687679441Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9lMGRiY2Y4Yy9wb2RjYXN0L3JzcwAmazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/04d71b46-7ce2-4108-9484-256a13b689c0/world-deconstructedCastbox: https://castbox.fm/channel/id5435354?country=usYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcXPN3GXwADBrqqGPQr8pdVHp5MFlIgXc▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Follow us▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorldDeconstructedTiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@world.deconstructedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/world.deconstructed/Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/worlddeconstru▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Segments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬00:00:00 Episode Intro00:00:14 Show Intro00:00:37 Historical Background00:02:38 Financial Landscape of Climate Change00:04:20 The Role of Key Players00:06:15 The Paris Agreement and Beyond00:08:11 Recent Developments00:11:31 The Urgency Ahead00:12:59 Conclusion00:13:15 Show Wrap-up▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Learn More▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Introduction to Climate Finance | UNFCCC (https://unfccc.int/topics/introduction-to-climate-finance)What is climate finance? - Grantham Research Institute on climate change and the environment (https://www.lse.ac.uk/granthaminstitute/explainers/what-is-climate-finance-and-where-will-it-come-from/)Climate Finance | UNEP - UN Environment Programme (https://www.unep.org/explore-topics/climate-action/what-we-do/climate-finance)Climate Finance and the USD 100 Billion Goal - OECD (https://www.oecd.org/climate-change/finance-usd-100-billion-goal/)What is climate finance and why do we need more of it?

Why is the US Dollar the head honcho of currencies? Why does it have such staying power? Is it shinier than gold? Is it losing its shine? Are there new contenders? Or will it outlast all other currencies? This episode has more suspense than a cliffhanger season finale and more economic jargon than your uncle trying to explain his investment portfolio. So, prepare to laugh, learn, and possibly reconsider your piggy bank's life choices, because we will give you the lowdown on whether the Dollar's dominance is fading or just taking a coffee break!#internationalnews #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #news #politics #dollar #bric #brics #currencies #yuan #rupee #rand #rouble #real #india #brazil #russia #china #southafrica #gold▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Follow us▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorldDeconstructedTiktok:https://www.tiktok.com/@world.deconstructedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/world.deconstructed/▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Where to listen▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Spotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/worlddeconstructedApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/world-deconstructed/id1687679441Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9lMGRiY2Y4Yy9wb2RjYXN0L3JzcwAmazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/04d71b46-7ce2-4108-9484-256a13b689c0/world-deconstructed▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Segments▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬00:00:00 Show Intro00:00:09 Episode Intro00:00:37 History00:01:54 End of Convertability00:02:48 Globalization00:04:02 Current Situation00:05:20 New Kids on the Block00:07:19 Response from US00:10:42 Episode Wrap Up00:10:50 Show Wrap Up▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Learn More▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬The Dollar: The World’s Reserve Currency | Council on Foreign Relations (https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/dollar-worlds-reserve-currency#chapter-title-0-1)Opinion | The U.S. Dollar as Reserve Currency: Probably Still Safe - The New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/02/opinion/us-dollar-reserve-currency.html)The High Price of Dollar Dominance | Foreign Affairs (https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/high-price-dollar-dominance)Dollar dominance: Preserving the US dollar’s status as the global reserve currency - Atlantic Council (https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/commentary/testimony/dollar-dominance-preserving-the-us-dollars-status-as-the-global-reserve-currency/)BRICS Has No Immediate Plan for a Currency, CFO of Its Bank Says - Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-05/brics-has-no-immediate-plan-for-a-currency-cfo-of-its-bank-says)Calls to move away from the U.S. dollar are growing — but the greenback is still king (https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/24/economic-and-political-factors-behind-acceleration-of-de-dollarization.html)A BRICS Currency Could Shake the Dollar's Dominance (https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/04/24/brics-currency-end-dollar-dominance-united-states-russia-china/)China, Russia and their BRICS allies have a 'medium to long term ambition' to create a dollar rival as a currency, official says (https://fortune.com/2023/07/05/will-dollar-get-replaced-brics-brazil-russia-india-china-africa-ambition/)The secret to the dollar’s success?
