The new stage of global finance: Putting the spotlight on sustainability and climate risk

Sustainable investments in financial markets have far exceeded $12trn assets and as ESG funds perform well, the coronavirus has turned the spotlight on sustainable investing with a new lens. For the financial services industry more generally, climate risk is still one of the most significant challenges facing the sector today. However, it also brings positive change, considerable efficiency gains and innovation to the markets.

Looking beyond the crisis, sustainable investing will still be a driving force in capital markets and climate risk will continue to test the industry. Now is the time to explore the response, impact and evolution of risk management influenced by climate risk and sustainable investing. There’s no time to postpone.

As a result, Risk.net is proud to present the Sustainable Investing and Climate Risk virtual summit, delivering a week of digital content between July 7–10, including exclusive digital presentations; panels debates; live virtual interviews; and group ‘think tanks’.
