As finance starts to move towards clean solutions, the cost of capital will decrease. Are financial institutions being consistent in what they say and what they do? And how can the boards of these institutions be encouraged – or forced – to ensure that climate competency is embedded at every level.

Katherine Stodulka (Partner, Sustainable Finance for SYSTEMIQ and Director, Blended Finance Taskforce)  and Anne Simpson (Managing Investment Director, Board Governance and Sustainability CalPERS) speak on boardroom leadership, walking the talk, and the flow of investment to emerging markets in this episode of ‘Ahead of the Curve’.

This episode is hosted by James Cameron, a Friend of COP26 and Senior Adviser to SYSTEMIQ. James is also a Senior Adviser to Pollination, Tulchan, and various other companies. He is also a Non-Executive Director to the Octopus Renewables Infrastructure Trust (ORIT) and Crown Agents and served as Chairman of the Overseas Development Institute (ODI). He is also an entrepreneur, barrister, and mentor.
