Climate-Safe Pensions Network

A conversation about the risks that climate change poses to pension funds. How can long-term investors  mitigate risks and improve returns?

Public and private pension funds in the U.S. and Europe have adopted different strategies for addressing climate-related financial risk. Expert panelists from the European Union, the UK, and the U.S. will discuss climate-related financial risk to pensions, and the need for pension boards—as long-term investors—to embrace a clearer understanding of that risk and their fiduciary duty.Panelists:<ul><li>Lars Erik Mangset - Senior Advisor, Responsible Investment, KLP (Norway)</li><li>Dr. Ellen Quigley - Advisor to Cambridge University Chief Financial Officer, and Research Associate at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (UK)</li><li>Steven Feit - Staff Attorney, Climate &amp; Energy Program, Center for International Environmental Law (Washington, DC)</li><li>Moderated by Jina Penn-Tracy - Co-founder at Centered Wealth (Minneapolis, MN)</li></ul>This event is one of a series of <a href="https://sites.google.com/view/climateweek2020/home?authuser=1" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Global Conversations about Finance, Risk, and Investments in a Low-Carbon Future</a>, presented as part of Climate Week NYC 2020, Sept. 21-27.
