The role of sustainable finance in delivering the Future we Want post Covid-19
Aimed at leaders and practitioners in the fields of finance and business, this panel explores the role of the finance industry – and sustainable finance in particular – in building zero carbon, equitable and sustainable economies post Covid-19. |
This webinar considers some of the key themes that emerged from a global call for questions run by CISL, which invited leaders and practitioners to identify questions which need to be considered in order to shift towards a sustainable economy. Key themes discussed in the session include:
- The role of finance in protecting and restoring nature
- How the finance system can be ‘rewired’ to include sustainability in decision making
- The performance and potential of ‘sustainable assets’
The Future we Want initiative of the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), has promoted a global conversation amongst leaders in business, government, civil society and academia about our long-term collective future post Covid-19.
