Climate change is no longer the only sustainability topic on the table. During this decade, biodiversity and natural capital-loss are pegged to join climate change as some of the most important risks for investors.
Hosted by Martin Currie and Franklin Templeton, the Pathway to 2030 Forum was held on 26 October 2022 in Melbourne.
The panel, moderated by Will Baylis, Portfolio Manager for Sustainable Equities at Martin Currie brought together investors, leading ASX-listed companies, and sustainability experts to explore the real investment implications from action, and inaction, on critical sustainability issues such as biodiversity and climate change.
Over the course of 90 minutes, the panel explored a hypothetical investment scenario involving the development of a new community. They provided firsthand insight as to how their respective companies are responding to biodiversity loss, and shared their vision about what can be done right now and through to 2030 to manage biodiversity risk and identify investment opportunities.
Climate change is no longer the only sustainability topic on the table. During this decade, biodiversity and natural capital-loss are pegged to join climate change as some of the most important risks for investors.
