Sustainability is no longer just about doing the right thing—it’s about who pays the price. While Japan tests citizen-level CO2 tracking, BP doubles down on fossil fuels. 

While sustainable bonds hit the trillion-dollar mark, big banks funnel millions into mining giants. The push for net zero is reshaping industries, but at what cost—and to whose benefit? 

Whether it’s Ukraine’s minerals, offshore wind farms, or recycled LEGO tires, one thing is clear: the green transition isn’t just about innovation. It’s about power, politics, and profit.
