Gaat AI de wereld redden? (met Marleen Stikker)
2 april 2025 · 31 min
Welkom bij Money for Change, de wekelijkse podcast van Triodos Bank! In deze podcast delen we inzichten en uitdagingen met betrekking tot onze kernvraag: hoe kunnen we de verandering naar een eerlijke en duurzame wereld versnellen? Lees meer
Elke aflevering duiken we in een specifiek onderwerp dat relevant is voor het beantwoorden van deze vraag. Het kan gaan over betaalbare huisvesting, het inclusiever maken van de zorgsector of het financieren van natuurbehoud. Hans Stegeman, hoofdeconoom van Triodos Bank, is een vaste gast van de show.
In deze aflevering gaan we het hebben over de technologie die de afgelopen jaren een stormachtige ontwikkeling heeft doorgemaakt; AI. In zo’n beetje ieder denkbare industrie heeft AI zijn intrede gedaan. In sommige gevallen zijn dat handife toepassingen, bijvoorbeeld in de biotech en de gezondheidszorg. Uiteraard zijn er ook zorgen over de schaduwzijde van AI-toepassingen en dan specifiek Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Dit zijn AI-toepassingen die mensen zouden moeten kunnen vervangen. De ontwikkeling hiervan kost enorm veel geld maar de waarde die het de samenleving oplevert is zeer twijfelachtig - zo niet contraproductief - betoogd Marleen Stikker, internetpionier, oprichter van Waag Future Lab en vandaag gast in de podcast. Hier komt nog bovenop dat big-tech de macht heeft over deze toepassingen, wat een inzet van AI voor het algemeen belang binnen democratische checks & balances in de weg zit. Wat is er nodig om AI op het juiste spoor te krijgen, met maatschappelijk relevante toepassingen en onder democratische controle? Is het tij nog te keren?
In de nieuwtjes van deze week bespreekt Hans – geheel in lijn met het hoofdthema van deze podcast - de invloed van AI op de kenniseconomie en banen (spoiler alert: geen goed nieuws). Daarnaast bespreken we de toenemende steun voor de EU van Europese burgers (surprise!) en nemen we de geluksindex van dit jaar onder de loep.

Wat doen centrale banken aan klimaatverandering en is dat voldoende?

Welkom bij Money for Change, de wekelijkse podcast van Triodos Bank! In deze podcast delen we inzichten en uitdagingen met betrekking tot onze kernvraag: hoe kunnen we de verandering naar een eerlijke en duurzame wereld versnellen? Lees meer
Elke aflevering duiken we in een specifiek onderwerp dat relevant is voor het beantwoorden van deze vraag. Het kan gaan over betaalbare huisvesting, het inclusiever maken van de zorgsector of het financieren van natuurbehoud. Hans Stegeman, hoofdeconoom van Triodos Bank, is een vaste gast van de show.
De rol van centrale banken is duidelijk; zij hebben als publieke instelling een tweeledige taak waarin ze via monetair beleid de hoeveelheid geld in een economie beïnvloeden en daarnaast toezicht moeten houden op de financiële sector. Dit samen moet er toe leiden dat de financiële stabiliteit in een economie bewaakt wordt. Deze taak lijkt misschien helder, toch bestaat er discussie over wat centrale banken nou precies moeten doen. Hoe moet je als centrale bank bijvoorbeeld omgaan met de kennis dat klimaatverandering significante risico’s veroorzaakt in de economie op globale schaal, en daarmee voor financiële stabiliteit? Samen met Gerdie Knijp, project manager bij het Sustainable Finance Lab in Utrecht, gaan we in op deze discussies. Zo worden er sinds het Klimaatakkoord van Parijs in 2015 richtlijnen uitgezet door de ECB waar financiële instellingen zich aan moeten houden. Tegelijk zouden centrale banken nog een hoop meer druk kunnen uitoefenen op de financiële sector om een groene economie af te dwingen en zo tegelijkertijd financiële stabiliteit te waarborgen
Aan het begin van de episode nemen we ook wat nieuws door over de chemiebedrijven die Nederland dreigen te verlaten, de uitspraak tegen Greenpeace en een nieuw onderzoek over de factoren die leiden tot een langer leven. Veel luisterplezier!

Hoe moet Europa verder zonder op de VS te kunnen bouwen?

Donald Trump veroorzaakt momenteel een aardverschuiving in het geopolitieke landschap. Het ontketenen van een handelsoorlog en het terugschroeven van militaire steun aan defensie zijn twee van de manieren waarop Europa zwaar wordt getroffen. Bovendien zijn we de afgelopen jaren in toenemende mate afhankelijk geworden van vloeibaar gas uit de Verenigde Staten. ‘Hoe nu verder?’ is de vraag die nu centraal staat binnen de Europese Unie. In deze podcast hebben we het samen met onze collega Joeri de Wilde, macro-econoom en onderzoeker op het gebied van ontwikkelde economieën, over de strategieën die Europa hanteert om onafhankelijker te worden van zijn (voormalige)bondgenoten. Hierbij nemen we ook het veelbesproken Draghi-rapport en ‘Competitiveness Compass’ op een kritische wijze onder de loep en bieden we een alternatief verhaal voor de Europese economie.

De EU Omnibus: waarom afzwakking van regels voor bedrijven een ramp is voor een toekomstbestendige economie
12 maart 2025 · 27 min
Welkom bij Money for Change, de wekelijkse podcast van Triodos Bank! In deze podcast delen we inzichten en uitdagingen met betrekking tot onze kernvraag: hoe kunnen we de verandering naar een eerlijke en duurzame wereld versnellen? Lees meer
Elke aflevering duiken we in een specifiek onderwerp dat relevant is voor het beantwoorden van deze vraag. Het kan gaan over betaalbare huisvesting, het inclusiever maken van de zorgsector of het financieren van natuurbehoud. Hans Stegeman, hoofdeconoom van Triodos Bank, is een terugkerende gast van de show.
De EU Omnibus is een voorstel van de Europese Commissie om een aantal wetten – zoals de CSRD - gericht op verduurzaming en maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen te bundelen en te ‘versimpelen’. Eén van de richtlijnen die deel uitmaakt van deze verzameling is de zogeheten ‘anti-wegkijk wetgeving (CSDDD); Een richtlijn die bedrijven verplicht om actie te ondernemen bij misstanden of risico op misstanden op het gebied van mensenrechten en het milieu, bijvoorbeeld als er een vermoeden is van kinderarbeid in de keten. Onze gast in deze aflevering, Lara Wolters, is een van de aanjagers en ontwerpers van deze regelgeving en zit namens GroenLinks-PvdA in het Europees parlement. Lara praat ons bij over hoe het ervoor staat met het EU Omnibus initiatief, dat onder flinke druk van de (extreem) rechtse flank van het Europarlement en een krachtige bedrijvenlobby lijkt te worden afgebroken in plaats van versimpeld. Bedrijven met een duurzame koers, als Triodos Bank, maken zich hier grote zorgen over. Het lijkt er steeds meer op dat bedrijven die verduurzamen eerder worden gestraft dan gesteund door wetgeving vanuit Brussel. Kan het tij nog gekeerd worden in Brussel? En wat is daarvoor nodig? Luister het gesprek met Lara op je favoriete podcast app.

Will the EU’s Right to Repair advance the circular economy?
6 maart 2025 · 26 min
Welcome to Money for Change, the weekly podcast made by Triodos Bank! In this podcast, we will share insights and challenges related to our core question: how can we accelerate the change to a more balanced and just world? Lees meer
Each episode, we will dive into a specific topic that is relevant for answering this question. It can be about creating affordable housing, making the care sector more inclusive or financing nature conservation. Hans Stegeman, Triodos Bank’s Chief Economist, is a recurring guest in the show.
New EU legislation has now mandated that producers of electronic devices must repair their products for a reasonable price after the legal warranty period has expired. A supporter of this law? The Right to Repair Coalition, an initiative that advocates for legislation and directives that try to promote the repairing of products on both the producer as consumer side. This legislation is crucial, as the right to repair is a key driver for advancing a circular economy. However, the resistance of manufacturers, alongside economic considerations, poses significant challenges to this important shift. In this episode we’ll discuss the effectiveness of Right to Repair Legislation with Cristian Ganapini, coordinator of the coalition. Together with Hans we’ll also dive into the core question of our podcast; what role does money play in all of this?

Taking climate laggards to court: accelerator or blocker of climate action?

Welcome to Money for Change, the weekly podcast made by Triodos Bank! In this podcast, we will share insights and challenges related to our core question: how can we accelerate the change to a more balanced and just world? Lees meer
Each episode, we will dive into specific topic that is relevant for answering this question. It can be about creating affordable housing, making the care sector more inclusive or financing nature conservation. Hans Stegeman, Triodos Bank’s Chief Economist, is a recurring guest in the show.
A topic that has gained much attention in recent years - and in the last few weeks due to a case in the Netherlands – is the fact that court cases against governments and corporates to enforce climate action are on the rise. By now, hundreds of court cases, often filed by NGO’s and groups of citizens, are being processed by national and international courts in different stages. Some cases are won, some are lost. Three weeks ago, Greenpeace won a court case that is meant to enforce the Dutch government to abide by its own law regarding nature protection. The key question here is whether these court cases help to accelerate climate action, or that they may also be an increasing source of climate hesitance, forming even an obstacle to the climate transition. In this episode we’ll discuss this topic with Eefje de Kroon, a legal expert and lead campaigner at Greenpeace, involved in several court cases.
At the end of the episode, Hans will share his thoughts on the recent trend of large companies pulling back from their sustainability commitments, a move that could signal the end of what we call ‘green capitalism’

Are US citizens better off than EU citizens?

In the episode of this week, we’re going to discuss who is better off: US citizens or EU citizens? Conventionally economists might look at GDP per capita numbers and conclude that US citizens are on average better off than EU citizens. Yet, GDP fails to take into account some of the aspects that matter. Beyond GDP is the movement that tries to correct these shortcomings. Together with Annegeke Jansen, PhD candidate at the WISE Horizons project in Leiden, we’re going to examine the various dimensions of Beyond GDP. You will find out where citizens live healthier, where they are safer and where most ecological damage is done. We end by discussing what policymakers should do differently from a Beyond GDP perspective.
The episode will be concluded by Hans’ news items of this week where you will hear Hans draw parallels between current AI development and the Space Race, provoking Ernst to update one of history’s most famous quotes…

Note: In the episode Hans and Ernst say that the median income in the US is lower than in the EU, but this is incorrect. While the average income of the bottom 50% of income earners is lower in the US, the median income is higher than in the EU. This shows that inequality of income within the bottom 50% of income earners is greater in the US than in the EU.

Since the founding of Triodos Bank, we have maintained a clear stance on investing in weapons: we simply do not invest in weapons, and we believe the entire private sector should refrain from doing so. However, in recent years conflict has intensified in various parts of the world with with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the outbursts of violence in Sudan, Gaza and Lebanon. A dditionally, the newly inaugurated president of the United States Additionally, the newly inaugurated president of the United States has made war threat in relation to Greenland and Panama. In l ight of these developments, we have invited Daan Spaangaren, senior investment strategist at PME (the pension fund for the metal high-tech sector) as guest to discuss investing in weapons. PME takes a different view on investing in weapons from Triodos. We’ll discuss the ethical and economic considerations involved in investing in weapons. And of course deal with the question; should private financial institutions invest in weapons?

If you follow our socials you probably haven seen our social tipping point research passing by. Social tipping points refer to moments of relatively small changes in our behavior that can lead to a significant shift in the embedded norms of our system. Our study has found that the social tipping points regarding our five transition themes are mostly closer than we think. Simply put; many Dutch people want change, and quite a few people are already trying to bring about this change as well. In this episode we will analyze and discuss the most important findings with professor of socio-economic transitions Derk Loorbach at the office of the Dutch Research Institute For Transition. Together we’ll explore what proportion of society is needed to achieve our ‘social tipping points’ and how the institutional resistance that we see in politics amongst others can be interpreted as a sign of us actually coming closer to these tipping points.

How can we reduce wealth inequality?

In the episode of this week, we’re going to discuss the subject of wealth inequality, an issue that is widely recognized as problematic. Wealth inequality has proven to harm social cohesion, hinder social mobility and creates an ecological problem when the lifestyles of the ultra-wealthy exceed our planet’s environmental limits. Furthermore, wealth often buys political power, undermining democracies. Therefore, rising wealth inequality is an obstacle to just sustainability transitions. Together with Wouter Leenders, PHD candidate at the University of California at Berkely, we’re going to examine the various dimensions of this issue and discuss what we can actively do to tackle it.
The episode will be concluded by Hans’ two news items of this week which are closely related to the subject of today; the record-breaking global warming of last year and the striking statistic of how long it took the richest people to burn through their carbon budget for 2025.

In this episode Sanne and Hans are joined by Adam Kybird, fund manager of Triodos Food Transition Europe Fund. Together, they discuss how organic agriculture might become the norm, what this would mean for food affordability, and how organic relates to regenerative agriculture.
You will hear how much of their income people used to spend on food, and whether true pricing could solve all our problems in one go. Towards the end of the episode, you can hear Adam strategize which organic products could replace their non-organic counterparts first. Hans explains why the whole world could actually eat organic, as long as diets are changed and food waste is minimized accordingly.

How can the EU adapt to scarce raw materials?

Each episode, we’ll be joined by Hans Stegeman, Triodos Bank’s Chief Economist. Together, we’ll dive into various topics and current affairs related to this overarching question, exploring ways in which these necessary changes might be realized.
This week’s episode will cover the current race for critical raw materials. While this term might not immediately ring a bell, the products that rely on these materials certainly will. Critical raw materials are essential for technologies like smartphones, solar panels, and electric cars. These materials, including metals like cobalt, lithium, and neodymium, are called critical because we expect future demand to be much greater than the reserves we are currently mining. This scarcity creates a competitive environment which has some serious implications for the dynamics of the production process and leads to what we would call a ‘rat race’ for these critical resources. Furthermore, more mining would lead to further ecological damages and often poor labour conditions. To address these shortages, we’ll discuss the importance of more efficient usage of critical raw materials and the potential alternatives that could help reduce our reliance on them.
At the end of the podcast, Hans will give us an update on bond markets and French politics and analyzes what these developments could mean for the Eurozone.

Why should we rethink business models and funding methods?

Each episode, we’ll be joined by Hans Stegeman, Triodos Bank’s Chief Economist. Together, we’ll dive into various topics and current affairs related to this overarching question, exploring ways in which these necessary changes might be realized.
Today’s episode will cover the subject on alternative- business models and funding methods. Triodos Bank was founded with the purpose of creating positive change in society by making sure money flows in the right direction. However, the mainstream business models and funding methods do not always align with the needs of society and the challenges we’re facing in the coming decades. What can we do to re-invent or re-shape our traditional business models and what different forms of alternative funding could support these business models? Together with Gijsbert Koren, one of the crowdfunding pioneers in the Netherlands and expert on steward-ownership, we're going to delve into these questions.
As usual, Hans will share a news item for us to reflect on, with this episode featuring his insights on this year’s ‘Black Friday’ mania

In this episode, we explore the profound challenges and opportunities posed by our aging population. As healthcare systems face unprecedented demand, we discuss how innovative care models and financing are stepping up to meet this shift. To help us unpack these complex dynamics, we’re joined by Mavric Webbstock, head of the Wellbeing Transition at Triodos Bank UK. An expert in financing healthcare facilities for elderly age groups, he shares insights on how financing can serve the goal of providing people with the highest quality of life for the longest period of time, which changes the mindset of how we perceive elderly care and life more generally.
Hans Stegeman also provides us with a news update and his perspective on the result of the Climate Conference (COP 29) that wrapped up this weekend.

Today we dive into the 29th conference on climate change which is currently underway in Baku. As the current conference is often referred to as the ‘Finance Cop’, it is self-evident that it has our special attention. To help us navigate the latest developments, we’re joined by Hilde Stroot, climate justice expert at Oxfam Novib, who is reporting live from the conference. She’ll share the latest insights from Baku and give us an update on what’s been happening. Furthermore, we’ll explore the concept of climate finance by discussing what it is and who we believe to be responsible for providing the billions of dollars needed to address the climate crisis. We’ll look at the different types of funding, where the money is actually going and the dynamics between developed nations and vulnerable countries that need to be supported.
Hans will elaborate on the subject by giving some hopeful news which functions as an example of how we can fund money for climate change in the future.
