Greening the City

Cutting carbon emissions requires new technology and new technology requires cash. Tom Heap asks if the global financial industry is willing and able to fund the green revolution.

New technologies are vital in the drive to turn our fossil fuel-based economies green and drastically slash carbon emissions. That technology requires investment and an enormous slice of the cash required is controlled by the financial markets of the City of London. Tom Heap meets the City's movers and shakers to find out if they- and the wider financial services industry- are willing and able to finance the revolution.
