About the Event
Background
Since the Paris Agreement, governments have prioritized environmental goals, including net zero strategies to combat climate change, protect ecosystems, and ensure sustainable economic growth and public health. Many jurisdictions have implemented laws requiring companies to commit to net zero emission targets and develop transition plans.
The financial industry plays a key role in reaching net zero by:
• Re-directing investments towards sustainable initiatives and green technologies,
• Shaping corporate practices by integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria in investment strategies,
• Creating and advocating for financial products that encourage low-carbon and climate-resilient growth,
• Handling climate-related risks and opportunities to maintain financial stability over the long term, and
• Encouraging innovation by funding and backing new, sustainable business models and technologies.
During this webinar, our expert speakers will delve into these critical topics, focusing on the role of regulation in guiding financial industries' investments in climate initiatives, and explore how the financial industry can drive the transition towards a sustainable, net-zero future.
