On our latest episode Omolola speaks with Gowling WLG partner Ben Stansfield and Foresight Group’s sustainability lead, Lily Crompton on their take on the COP26 conference.

Our conversation picks up on the last day of the two-week COP26 conference where Ben and Lily join us on the Joint Venture to dig into the outcomes of the event and whether expectations were met.

Topics covered include initial thoughts on the draft agreement, the UK’s Net Zero Strategy, the impact on certain industries, and how to incorporate biodiversity into greenfield opportunities with interesting examples of how investors can capitalise on this.

Finally, we discuss the strategies available to investors to incorporate more sustainable assets into their portfolios and what transition risks lie ahead in pursuit of net-zero plans.
