What began as the financial sector's most ambitious environmental initiatives ahead of COP21 in Glasgow has been systematically challenged by political and legal pressure, revealing the fragility of voluntary commitments. With firms withdrawing from major climate commitment groups, analysts have warned of a clear signal to the market: climate action has become less of a priority for some.
This pivotal moment, however, presents a new opportunity. This panel will provide candid discussion and analysis on what's next, exploring how individual investment firms can set a more ambitious pace and how other financial firms can forge their own paths, decarbonising or driving positive impact in ways that best suit their business models.
Experts will also discuss the significant implications for investment in developing countries and how government mandates might be the catalyst needed to truly ignite a new era of proactive, resilient climate finance.
