Global events of recent years have alerted us that health, the environment, and business are interconnected. The year 2020 saw an unprecedented increase in 'net zero' commitments. Firms now have a greater appreciation of the economic consequences of a failure to invest in public health systems. But will this enthusiasm around environmental and social issues translate into new funding and financing? As the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference approaches, panelists will discuss the enhanced scrutiny ESG data, disclosures, and how to measure impact. The ESG market is nearing $2 trillion in AUM, and these leaders are spearheading the demand for improved metrics, standardized documentation, and consistent reporting.
