Can Think Tanks Build the Missing Infrastructure for Sustainable Value Chains?

This podcast features Ingmar Juergens, CEO and co-founder of Climate & Company, discussing the challenges and opportunities of sustainability transitions and cross-regional cooperation. He highlights the need to bridge gaps between actors across global value chains through concrete, collaborative projects and emphasizes the importance of early, equitable partnerships between Europe, Africa, Latin America, and other regions. Juergens also argues that think tanks should increasingly act as facilitators and conveners, fostering dialogue, trust, and cooperation among policymakers, financial institutions, businesses, and civil society to accelerate sustainable development.
