NET ZERO: INVESTING FOR REAL-WORLD DECARBONISATION
06 December 2022
Newton net zero seminar | Tuesday 6 December 2022
If we are to collectively hit the globally pledged net-zero targets, there will need to be an extraordinary and global effort, and asset managers will have a crucial role to play in the transition. At our seminar, we discussed multiple facets of net zero. We addressed how to define the right approach to achieving net-zero targets, how to engage for real-world decarbonisation, what this means for your organisation’s investments, and the investment transition story.
