The science behind climate change and ESG considerations
Do you understand the science behind climate change, net zero transition and planetary health and its implications to organisations? This webinar recording from the Financial Services Faculty will provide an expert scientific view for a business audience.
Brought to you by ICAEW Financial Services Faculty, we are delighted to present a series of hour-long webinars and resources to help appreciate the challenges and opportunities of better understanding environmental, social and governance (ESG) risk through provision of better information.
This event is the first of six webinars in 2021 that took place throughout September and October.
Following the popularity of ICAEW’s event with The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) on COVID-19, this event will give a scientific perspective on climate change and explain why all business leaders need to understand the concept of planetary health if they are to play their part in meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and identify solutions for people and the planet.
The discussion looks at the scientific basis of trade-offs in planetary health, between human health, environment and economy.
