Description

What is the real value of investment in today’s world? From green energy to public infrastructure, investment has the power to reshape economies and drive meaningful change.


But in a world facing climate crises, growing debt, and fragile growth, how can we make sure that capital is flowing where it’s truly needed?


In this Weekly Tradecast, we speak with Nan Li Collins, director of UN Trade and Development’s (UNCTAD) division on investment and enterprise. With decades of experience across the public and private sectors, she unpacks the global investment landscape – what’s working, what’s broken and what needs to change.


Join us to discuss how smarter, fairer investment can help build a sustainable future for all. To explore the topic further, see UNCTAD's World Investment Report 2025: International investment in the digital economy.
