What does net zero mean to financial services?
23 September 2021
This topic is more important than ever given the scale of the impact of climate events on the global population, and the significance of the opportunity in COP26 to influence our path forward.
During this discussion we share our experience and views on what Net Zero means for the financial services industry and investor community and the role that each can play in accelerating the global transition to Net Zero.
We highlight about some of the critical challenges that the industry faces, as well as the opportunities that transition will create.
