Key Topics
- how biodiversity loss is expected to impact markets
- what this means for investors
Over the next 30 years, the United Nations Environment Programme estimates that more than $8 trillion of investment will be needed to fund nature-based solutions to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss and land degradation – four times the amount that is invested today.
As capital is mobilised to fund new solutions to the nature crisis, this will create business opportunities for companies at the forefront of change. It will also present opportunities for investors who are able to correctly price in the risks and opportunities of investee companies.
In this webinar we will hear from Kenneth Robertson, Client Portfolio Manager, Sustainable Investing at Robeco and Edward Lees, Co-Head of Environmental Strategies Group and Co-Lead Portfolio Manager for Energy Transition Fund at BNP Paribas Asset Management.
Our speakers will provide their perspectives on the nature crisis, how biodiversity loss is expected to impact markets, and what this means for investors.
