MSCI - Capital for Climate Action Conference 2023

Real ambition for the real economy

Owners and managers of assets, companies and financial institutions are committing to climate action amid a changing economic landscape. A banking crisis and war in Ukraine, together with tensions between the U.S. and China, are all flaring alongside the urgency to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and growing scrutiny of what it means to be net-zero aligned. Listed companies, meanwhile, are adding emissions to the atmosphere at nearly twice the threshold for preventing disastrous warming.

Together we’ll take stock of action by investors and other capital-markets participants to achieve sustainable growth, including such questions as: 

  • How institutional investors are navigating an environment that can clash with climate targets 

  • How portfolio decarbonization can reduce emissions in the real world 

  • How investors can identify and reward companies that are actually decarbonizing

  • How financial institutions and investors are scaling up sustainable finance and green solutions

  • How the risks of a changing climate are impacting investment strategies

  • Where regulation and reporting might go next

  • What’s needed to boost climate ambition both portfolio- and societywide 

  • How capital-markets participants can bring rigor and accountability to climate action 

Participants will leave with insights drawn from the latest data and practical guidance for addressing the challenges, opportunities and questions that mark this moment in the transition to a net-zero world.

Speakers to be announced.
