The European Green Deal, announced by the European Commission nearly one year ago, aims to shift the EU economy onto a more sustainable path through enhanced climate change action. As investment professionals, we play a critical role in achieving this goal by allocating capital towards a more sustainable and climate-neutral economy. Yet, many of us have limited experience and few tools for including climate change metrics in our financial models.

The regulatory landscape around climate change integration in the investment process is also fast-moving.

This webinar is intended to help attendees better understand:

• the why, what and how of integrating climate change analysis into the investment process
• the current EU regulatory landscape around climate – and more importantly – where the regulation is heading.

Agenda

• Expert guest speakers join in a panel discussion about the climate change regulator landscape in the EU – including the EU strategy for sustainable finance and investments.
