Be & Think in the House of Trust

In this episode of Be & Think in the House of Trust, I am joined by the inspiring Sana Kapadia, a gender-smart and climate-smart investing specialist. With a focus on boldness, radiance and resilience, Sana, Chief Catalyst at Heading for Change and Senior Strategic Advisor at 2X Global, shares her insights on integrating a gender lens to unlock more inclusive and equitable climate finance.

In this episode:

The values that define us

"Kind, soulful, resilient, strategic, and graceful" - Sana reflects on the values that define her and how these attributes help her navigate the complex world of social justice and climate finance.

Doing the bold, inner work

Sana discusses the importance of being true to oneself and the role of self-awareness in driving systemic change.

A holistic approach to finance will drive real impact

"We need to be thinking about the political economy, the other social constructs that are in place around gender norms and structural barriers"

Passing on the baton in a way that makes sense

"We are definitely influencing our young people. So I think we have to choose how to do that well and to give them the right tools to take actions that are right for them" - On educating the younger generation about climate change and social justice.

A call to action

"We have to show up with courage, to keep being part of the conversation, to keep using our influence and power"
