Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL)

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.

 

Speakers

  • Simon Connell, Head of Sustainability Strategy at Standard Chartered and Chair of the Banking Environment Initiative
  • Paul Fisher, former Deputy Head of the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and Fellow at CISL
  • Greg Lowe, Global Head of Resilience and Sustainability at Aon and Chair of the ClimateWise Managing Committee
  • Madeleine Ronquest, Head of Environmental, Social and Climate Risk at FirstRand Group

Chaired by Nina Seega, Director of Research Strategy, Centre for Sustainable Finance, CISL
