More than 180 financial institutions have validated science-based targets to align their portfolios with a net-zero future. This panel brings together leaders from across banking and investment management to discuss how financial institutions are translating climate ambition into action, engaging clients and investee companies and navigating the practical challenges of implementation. The discussion will explore lessons learned from early adopters, the role of target-setting in managing climate-related risks and opportunities and how the financial sector can accelerate real-economy decarbonisation through credible transition planning and engagement.
