Episode 2: Prof. Runa Sarkar — What If national transition plans aren’t really national?

This is Episode 2 of our National Transitions Plans video series. In this episode, Runa Sarkar explores how global supply chains, international finance and economic dependencies shape national climate transitions. The conversation looks at the challenges of implementation, the importance of local voices, the limits of blended finance and carbon markets, and why public finance remains central to climate action.

The key takeaway: Climate transition is not just a national challenge, it’s a global coordination problem.
