In this episode, we speak with Peter Sweatman, CEO of Climate Strategy & Partners, member of Spain’s SustainableFinance Council, former rapporteur for the G20 and EU Commission on energy efficiency, as well as author of more than 25 white papers on financing the energy and climate transition, most recently on the design of the European Competitiveness Fund.
We delve into the main debates around the EU’s next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for 2028–2034, focusing on the elements that matter most for scaling up private finance for the transition. This includes the role of the European Competitiveness Fund (ECF) and the InvestEU guarantee instrument.
Peter highlights why investor engagement at this stageis essential, and shares his views on the structural barriers currently holding back private investment in Europe, the state of play in the MFF negotiations, and his recommendation for an “efficiency-first” approach to the EU budget.
