Unpacking government’s role in catalyzing low-carbon solutions

Last week, the ESG Insider podcast was on the ground at Climate Week NYC for a special series of interviews. In this episode, we sit down on the sidelines of The Nest Climate Campus with Christopher Creed, Chief Investment Officer of the US Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office.  

Christopher tells us that the loan programs office is working on deploying $350 billion worth of lending authority created under the US Inflation Reduction Act "to help catalyze energy projects" in the US. 

"This transition is going to be private sector-led and government enabled," he says.
