Agenda

Introduction

Setting the scene—No one business can manage oneself out of today’s global environmental and social (E&S) risks such as climate change. What does this mean for a bank and what do you think are the solutions?

What does “repurposing of business” and “stakeholder capitalism” mean? How are they related to the Net Zero Carbon Neutrality pledges by EU, China, Japan, Korea and the US?

Banks are urged to move from “future takers” to “future makers.” This statement is about the changing business models of banks. What are the roles of banks in the Net Zero Transition?

Conclusion—Why UNEP is partnering with the global finance industry
