Net Zero: How do we get there and what does this mean in practice?
In-Person Panel Discussion and Networking
|
|
Net Zero is a global movement with commitments from a large number of countries around the world (now including the US) to balance the amount of greenhouse gas produced with the amount removed from the atmosphere. Following numerous scientific studies and an increasing number of client-related catastrophes, asset owners and asset managers alike have set Net Zero targets as climate change is now well and truly recognised as a financial risk.
What does climate-related financial risk mean for fiduciaries, asset owners and fund members? Learn how investment managers approach climate risk in their investment decisions. Gain insights into net zero commitments and the implications for multi-asset class investment portfolios.
For those arriving for the in-person event, please arrive in time to be seated for the opening remarks at 5:45 PM, as the live streamed event will start at 6:00 PM sharp and everyone will have to be seated for the recorded event.
