Climate Change Impact Roundtable 2020

The impact of climate change on investment portfolios are well documented. While the inherent risks remain difficult to measure and quantify, the transition to a low-carbon economy will also give rise to new investment opportunities.

Interestingly, the COVID-19 pandemic might have inadvertently accelerated this shift.

As part of [i3] Pivot, we’re pleased to organise an investor roundtable to discuss the impact of climate change on investor portfolios as well as evaluate the opportunities arising from energy transition to renewables.
