The high-level closing plenary will facilitate a high-level discussion on how private and public actors can signal to each other and work together to create a ´virtuous dynamic´ able to narrow the climate ambition and investment gaps.

Key topics of the discussion between CDP, Citi, Royal DSM, Länsförsäkringar and Comptroller DiNapoli will include global targets and the path to achieve them, the need for better communication between the public and the private sector going forward, making climate-related risks and opportunities a routine part of investment decision-making and capital allocation and the FSB’s Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
