Setting the stage for sustainability in 2023
All Things Sustainable
Climate Change and the Need for Collaboration
Central banks have played an increasing role in measuring the impacts of climate change on financial systems and economies. In 2017, a handful of central banks established NGFS to manage and measure the risks climate change poses to financial stability. Ravi Menon: "We need to address the risks that climate and broader environmental factors pose for financial stability" The message resonates with what we heard from Elizabeth Morema heading into COP15 - the UN's Convention on Biological Diversity.
In this episode of ESG Insider, we’re looking ahead to sustainability themes that will drive 2023 by revisiting our most popular episodes and some of our favorite interviews from the past year.
We’ll hear from one of the world’s largest banks; the Chair of the Network for Greening the Financial System, or NGFS; the Co-Chair of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, or TNFD; some of the scientists behind reports by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPPC; and more.
