The world’s oceans are critical to all life on Earth. They have also buffered us against the worst impacts of climate change, absorbing about a third of all of our carbon emissions, and around 90% of the temperature increase from global warming. However, ocean ecosystems are undergoing huge

Hear from Alan Smith, First Church Estates Commissioner, about the culture and capabilities that asset owners look for in the companies they invest in. Asset owners have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of their ultimate beneficiaries, which often forces them to take a longer-term perspective than many other types of financial firms. So, it’s not surprising that many of them are concerned about the systemic nature of climate risks. Many are proactively engaging with firms in the real

Global financial markets play a major role in addressing the challenges of climate change. But is the financial system equipped with the right tools to progress the net-zero transition with the urgency that is required?
