Filmed at Environmental Finance's Sustainable Debt EMEA conference in London on 23 April, this video interview features Jurand Drop, Undersecretary of State at Poland's Ministry of Finance, discussing the evolving role of sustainable finance in the country's transition.
While Poland is a pioneering issuer of sovereign green bonds, having entered the market a decade ago, its economy remains significantly reliant on coal, raising important questions about the potential of transition bonds at both sovereign and corporate levels to support decarbonisation.
The conversation also explores how ESG investors and the wider private sector are influencing Poland's climate policy, and whether market pressures are accelerating the shift toward a lower-carbon economy.
