In this episode of The Clean Energy Edge Podcast, Russ Bates sits down with climate finance expert Shraddha Nair to explore how carbon markets and energy markets are converging—and what that means for the global energy transition.

We cover:

-The evolving role of carbon credits in clean energy financing -Why Europe is surging ahead despite geopolitical challenges

-How U.S. policy reversals—like the exit from the Paris Agreement and rollback of IRA incentives—are affecting international climate action

-What’s next for voluntary and compliance carbon markets

-The gap between carbon pricing theory and how funds are actually being deployed

-Why investors may be pausing but not pulling out of carbon markets

As the U.S. steps back, the rest of the world keeps moving. Shraddha shares her global perspective on where we’re headed—and why clean energy is still the only viable path forward despite political headwinds.
