Huge financial investments are needed to cope with the climate.

Alok Sharma therefore thinks that the world's rich countries must fulfill the promise of 100 billion in climate aid.

He hopes for increasing investment, but points out that globally, $ 100 billion is quite a bit.

"Developing countries need thousands of billions of dollars to switch to green energy, then financial capital is crucial," he told SVT.

Alok Sharma is today the world's most powerful climate negotiator.

This week he was visiting the UN climate summit in Stockholm.

He chaired the Glasgow summit, which was failing, partly because poor countries were disappointed with the lack of climate aid and because the rich world - which causes the most emissions - does not take greater responsibility.

Finally, the promise was changed to a plan where the money will be until 2023. Too late.

UN chief expresses concern

Following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, many countries, including Sweden, have withdrawn aid to finance the reception of refugees, something UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed strong concern about.

Alok Sharma does not criticize governments.

He points out that almost 40 percent of the earth's financial capital is actually tied up in net zero emissions by 2050. So there are 130,000 billion dollars that should be able to be used.

And what aid and what politics do is not unimportant, says Alok Sharma.

- Everyone needs to do their part.

Politics, business and you and me.

And something very encouraging is that nowadays politics, society and business are increasingly moving in the same direction.

"Is what customers want"

The most important thing for politics, he says, is really to create rules of the game and conditions so that the business community dares to invest heavily in change and green energy throughout the world.

And he seems to see a turning point.

- The business community now sees that climate change is not just something that makes sense.

That is also what customers want, and it can not least have a positive effect on the result on the last line, says Alok Sharma.
