Sustainability and geopolitics: navigating the new climate
EY, 1 More London Place, London, SE1 2AF
About this Event
Join EY and a panel of leading voices from business, financial services and sustainability to examine the latest insights on how geopolitics is shaping and disrupting the global sustainability agenda.
Public and private sector organisations are confronted with fulfilling ambitious sustainability commitments, while grappling with escalating economic and geopolitical uncertainties.
Despite the headlines, the effects are complex and not always clear-cut. But it does challenge how the role of the chief sustainability officer evolves and engages with the c-suite and beyond to drive the level of integration, innovation and progress needed.
– Could geopolitical forces shape a new era – one that positions sustainability as a driver of competitiveness, resilience, industrial transformation, and investment?
– What do credible, investable policy and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) look like to help financial institutions scale sustainable finance?
– Does the current environment offer other jurisdictions including Europe the opportunity to forge new leadership on sustainable and transition finance?
Following a short presentation, Amy Brachio, EY Global Vice Chair, Sustainability, will moderate a panel Q&A with guest speakers:
– Fiona Watson, Vice President, World Business Council for Sustainable Development
– Oliver Jones, EY Global Head of the Geostrategic Business Group
– Gill Lofts, EY Global Sustainable Finance Leader.
