Sustainability Review: Ben Caldecott (Oxford) & Steve Waygood (Aviva Investors)

Sustainability Review, with Ben Caldecott (Oxford Sustainable Finance Programme) and Steve Waygood (Aviva Investors)

Why you should watch: Less than two weeks to COP26 - and activity in the climate space is heating up. Two of the UK's leading experts in sustainable finance discuss developments - from the ISO's (important, but under-reported) London Declaration, to the latest initiative by Sovereign Wealth Funds, to the pressure on BHP from proxy voters, to the launch of an LSE/Grantham transparency platform - to COP itself. What can we expect? Are expectations too high? Or has a great deal already been achieved?

Moderator: Andrew Hilton (Director, CSFI)
