Can Banks Be a Force for Good?

 

Semi-regularly, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change releases a report that enumerates the ways that the planet is being affected by human activity. It is, in short, bad all around. Pollution ruins our waterways, animal extinction rates are up and increasing temperatures are putting life in peril. In the financial and governance world, this brings up the question: What role do finance and fintech have in the planet’s degradation and what roles can they play in stemming the tide or reversing it?

Chris Skinner is a commercial strategist, an analyst and an independent commentator on the financial markets and fintech through this blog, The Finanser.com. He’s also the author of dozens of books, including Digital For Good: Stand for something…or you will fall, was just released on June 1. As part of our #MoneyMonday series, he  joined the show to talk about the book  and how banks and fintech can be part of the future for good.
