In this episode of The No Nonsense Sustainability Podcast, Ildiko speaks with Dr. Margerita Topalli from the Bank of Albania about what it really takes to build a green financial system from the ground up.

Albania is setting out to develop its first Green Taxonomy by 2027 - a foundational step toward creating a market for green bonds in a country that has never had one. This is not about theory. It is about defining what counts as “green,” what investors can finance, and how a financial system starts to shift.

The conversation covers what a taxonomy actually is, what goes into it, what might end up on the “green menu,” and how technology can make it usable in practice.

Listen now and share your thoughts: what should be considered green?
