The Great Pivot: Climate Action and the Finance Sector
DESCRIPTION:
The Great Pivot: Climate Action and the Finance Sector with Michelle Dunstan, Radley Horton and Satyajit Bose moderated by Alex Halliday
About this event
As the summer of severe extremes draws to close, awareness of climate change consequences—raging wildfires, blazing heatwaves, devastating floods, severe hurricanes—underscores the need for action. What does it take to cut greenhouse gas emissions enough to bend the global warming curve?
The first online Earth Series of the academic year — the first Columbia Climate School Earth Series — presents a discussion on the intersection between climate risks and the allocation of private capital, and the role of the financial services industry in achieving climate solutions. Climate School Founding Dean Alex Halliday will lead a conversation with Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory climate scientist Radley Horton, the Earth Institute’s sustainability management and economics expert Satyajit Bose, and leading asset management firm AllianceBernstein’s Michelle Dunstan to explore the power of partnerships and collaborative research to change decisions and bend the trajectory of climate change toward a more sustainable future.
