Hosted by Ceres
Significant worldwide momentum currently exists for investors and banks to set net-zero targets and publish comprehensive climate action plans. Recently the nonprofit organization Ceres, with its global investor group partners in Asia, Australia and Europe, launched the Paris Aligned Investment Initiative and the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative.
Ceres has also been working with the nation’s major banks to encourage them to establish ambitious net-zero commitments and to increase their climate disclosure. The six largest U.S. banks have recently agreed to set net-zero targets and are now implementing these commitments.
In this session, participants will:
- Examine the roles the private sector and the Biden administration are playing to tackle the climate crisis
- Evaluate how U.S. and international investors and banks are making net-zero commitments and implementing climate action plans
- Explore how U.S. action on climate change is ramping up quickly
