Climate change is a hot topic in the global capital markets for its potential to impact long-term value across sectors and geographies. Will climate change continue to be a focus area for investors in a post-pandemic world? This issue is likely to grow in importance given the systemic parallels between the societal and economic implications of COVID-19 and predicted impacts of climate change, which include increased prevalence of vector-borne diseases and impacts to global supply chains from extreme weather events.  

Join us for a discussion on the financial impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities and key considerations for alternative investment managers. This interactive session will explore trends in climate-related investment strategies and provide specific examples of climate-related financial impacts to companies across multiple industries.
