Listen now
Description
Debt-for-nature swaps have come to the forefront as a unique solution for both environmental conservation and debt alleviation. In this episode of Fixed on ESG, we are joined by The Nature Conservancy, an organization that's aided in structuring several of these types of instruments. Together, we examine their role in alleviating the post-pandemic debt surge in developing economies, the environmental benefits of these instruments, and challenges for investors and measuring effectiveness. Yacine Rachid, ESG Research Analyst at PGIM Fixed Income, hosts this discussion with Slav Gatchev, Sustainable Debt Managing Director at The Nature Conservancy (TNC), and Armelle de Vienne, Co-Head of ESG Research at PGIM Fixed Income.  Recorded on August 1, 2024.
