Episode notes

We know that nature-based solutions are going to be almost 40% of the solution to climate problem we've got. We can't desegregate these issues. If you're going to start looking at climate, you have to start look at nature because that's what's going to help to drive the changes. Esther: Big issues to be watching is how companies and investors address supply chain risks. Lindsey: How do we bring the equity question into all of this? A lot of these themes will continue to play out in 2023.

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.
