Episode Synopsis
“The gender gap in finance is still 300 years away from closing, but we can start by advocating for inclusive financial systems that leave no one behind"
In this insightful episode of The Sustainability Journey, we sit down with Yasmina Vucina, a changemaker in finance, sustainability, and gender inclusion.

UNA Initiative: Yasmina's groundbreaking project focused on closing the gender gap in finance by providing inclusive, innovative banking solutions for women facing barriers in traditional systems.
Financial Inclusion: The role of digital banking and fintech in empowering underbanked communities and promoting financial access for all.
Regenerative Finance: Why sustainability is no longer enough, and how finance must evolve to create systems that do no harm and instead actively contribute to societal and environmental regeneration.
Strategic Partnerships: The power of collaboration across sectors—NGOs, academia, businesses, and governments—in driving systemic change in banking and beyond.
Leadership Challenges: Yasmina’s journey in overcoming resistance within traditional finance institutions and creating a culture of sustainability from within.
Join us for an inspiring conversation about reimagining finance, building inclusive banking systems, and Yasmina’s vision for a more equitable, regenerative financial future.
