Climate Week in New York

Climate Week wrapped up last week in New York City, and throughout the week, we heard about the systemic changes needed to combat climate change. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we're bringing you key takeaways, highlights and interviews from our time on the ground.

We hear from Global Head of Sustainable Investing at Natixis Investment Managers, Nathalie Wallace, about the role the investment community plays in combating climate change. Ivan Frishberg, Chief Sustainability Officer at New York-based Amalgamated Bank, talks to us about the growing sense of urgency around climate and the challenges of the current ESG landscape.

And we interview Amy Hepburn, CEO of the Investor Leadership Network, which represents institutional investors with more than $10 trillion dollars in assets under management. She talks about the '3 Cs' needed to find solutions to climate change: collaboration, cooperation and creativity.

"For a long time in this space, we have all operated in silos and echo chambers talking to like-minded actors: Investors talking to investors, [multilateral development banks] talking to MDBs, governments talking to governments," Amy says. "This issue is not going to be solved by any one of those sets of actors — it's only going to be solved in concert."
