Transformation talk from the Saarland Chamber of Labor
“Transformation financing beyond the debt brake and Blackrock”

Financing the social-ecological transformation Tue April 23, 2024, 7:00 pm With: Prof. Ulrich Klüh, Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences Response: Georg Schürmann, Managing Director Triodos Bank NV Germany When we hear the term “financing social-ecological transformation,” we usually think of sustainable equity funds or the federal government's climate and transformation fund. But what role do savings banks and Volksbanks actually play? What can the ECB do? And which tax system can best be used to finance public investments in climate protection? But do these questions really get to the heart of the problem? Prof. Ulrich Klüh will speak about the nexus of money and matter: plurality and materiality of transformation financing.
