    E11: Climate Finance

    Hey, 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/worlddeconstructed ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/world-deconstructed/id1687679441 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9lMGRiY2Y4Yy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw ⁠Amazon Music⁠: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/04d71b46-7ce2-4108-9484-256a13b689c0/world-deconstructed ⁠Castbox⁠: https://castbox.fm/channel/id5435354?country=us Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcXPN3GXwADBrqqGPQr8pdVHp5MFlIgXc ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Follow us ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⁠Youtube⁠: https://www.youtube.com/@WorldDeconstructed ⁠Tiktok⁠:https://www.tiktok.com/@world.deconstructed ⁠Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/world.deconstructed/ Snapchat⁠: https://www.snapchat.com/add/worlddeconstru ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Segments ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00:00 Episode Intro 00:00:14 Show Intro 00:00:37 Historical Background 00:02:38 Financial Landscape of Climate Change 00:04:20 The Role of Key Players 00:06:15 The Paris Agreement and Beyond 00:08:11 Recent Developments 00:11:31 The Urgency Ahead 00:12:59 Conclusion 00:13:15 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?

    E06: Dollar Dominance

    In this episode, we will dive headfirst into the deep end of the finance pool to chat about the big kahuna itself – the U.S. Dollar! 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/@WorldDeconstructed ⁠Tiktok⁠:https://www.tiktok.com/@world.deconstructed ⁠Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/world.deconstructed/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Where to listen ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⁠Spotify⁠: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/worlddeconstructed ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/world-deconstructed/id1687679441 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9lMGRiY2Y4Yy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw ⁠Amazon Music⁠: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/04d71b46-7ce2-4108-9484-256a13b689c0/world-deconstructed ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Segments ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00:00 Show Intro 00:00:09 Episode Intro 00:00:37 History 00:01:54 End of Convertability 00:02:48 Globalization 00:04:02 Current Situation 00:05:20 New Kids on the Block 00:07:19 Response from US 00:10:42 Episode Wrap Up 00:10:50 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?
