NORTHAMPTON, Mass., April 30, 2025 /3BL/ - In the latest episode of the “What the…?” video series, 3BL welcomes Trenton Allen, Managing Director and CEO of Sustainable Capital Advisors, for a timely and urgent conversation about the future of climate finance.

As the impact of climate change intensifies and federal funding enters a period of uncertainty, Allen joins host Mary Mazzoni to explore the evolving financial landscape and the communities caught in the middle. Together, they unpack what’s at stake when crucial federal programs are paused and how nonprofits and local governments can stay the course in the face of disruption.

Allen offers a grounded yet optimistic perspective, drawing on decades of experience in finance to spotlight opportunities for innovation and resilience, reminding us that “Climate isn’t an environmental issue. It’s an economic issue, it’s a health issue, it’s a family issue.”

Key takeaways from the episode include:

The ripple effects of federal funding uncertainty on community projects
How climate finance can drive down energy burdens and create local economic opportunity
Why traditional financial tools, like municipal bonds and CDFI capital, still matter
Real-world success stories from New Orleans to Marin County showing climate finance in action

This episode is a must-watch for sustainability leaders, nonprofit professionals, and anyone interested in how climate solutions can deliver measurable, equitable benefits, especially where they’re needed most.
