In this episode of The Responsible Investor Podcast, Professor Tom Gosling argues for a shift in thinking on climate action by asset owners and managers.
Have investors overstated their ability to drive climate action? Have top-down, targets-driven models of decarbonisation taken the industry down a blind alley? And if so, where should sustainability-minded asset owners and managers refocus their efforts?
A new report from the LSE argues for a reappraisal of the topic, based on an acceptance that investor action on climate will be dependent on government policy and technology development.
In this episode of The Responsible Investor Podcast, editor Lucy Fitzgeorge-Parker talks to report co-author Professor Tom Gosling about what this recalibration means in practice – and whether the responsible investment community is ready for it.
Topics include the future of corporate net-zero targets, the challenges of supporting the energy transition in emerging markets, and the practicability – or otherwise – of policy engagement on climate by institutional investors.
