Boards of companies are under increasing pressure to align their business strategies with the goals of the Paris Agreement. However, are the capital markets sufficiently engaged to confront the risk posed to global systemic financial stability? Do they have the tools they need to finance, insure, support and incentivise the corporates in their client and investment portfolios to achieve the ambitious targets set by the Paris Agreement? According to the International Energy Agency, we will need $1 trillion each year to move the economy onto a net-zero carbon basis. Join a discussion between Board Chairs and CEOs to understand how financial institutions in the commercial and development banking sector are working to reduce their exposure to climate risk by engaging with their corporate stakeholders and driving the reallocation of capital that will be needed to effect the transition to a net-zero economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The session will provide non-executive directors of FS company boards with valuable insights on how, in their oversight role, they can:
\u2022 Ensure that their institutions manage climate risk effectively by understanding the role of finance and insurance provision in driving climate-aware behaviours in the real economy; and
\u2022 Encourage the development of innovative products that will generate new revenue streams associated with the transition to net zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-executive directors of corporates will likewise gain insights into the role of the board in ensuring their companies are properly prepared to respond to the growing demands of their funders, insurers and investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
