About this webinar

WATCH ON DEMAND

Recorded on: Wednesday 10 June 2020

The pandemic will ingrain new social and economic norms as the world adjusts to a new reality and a new era of economic instability. The sustainable finance agenda must not lose momentum and green finance should still be at the forefront of a global economy facing years of climate and financial uncertainty. As investors adapt to a period of extreme volatility this webinar will discuss the response of both the asset management and corporate sectors.

Discussion points:

• Does the responsible investment market need to turn their focus to the S and G of ESG?
• What are the likely effects on shareholder engagement  through dividends and buy backs
• What are the pandemic implications for the corporate world?
• The impact of COVID-19 on the sustainable finance supply chain: challenge or opportunity?
• How has the pandemic affected the sustainable finance supply chain?
• The difficulties of mobilising finance to reach a 1.5 degree target in the midst of a pandemic
• Forecasting the short and long term impacts
