Event: Current Insights on the Clean Energy Transition & Investment Opportunities
Join us Wednesday June 17 at 12:00 noon and learn about:
• The pace and causes of the transformation of energy markets towards clean energy.
• The role of ESG investment in the clean energy transition.
• How investments incorporating ESG factors are holding up during the pandemic versus non-ESG peers, including in the climate and clean energy spaces.
• The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on energy markets, ESG investment, and climate action at local, state, and national levels.
The world is in the midst of a clean energy transition due to concern about of the impacts of climate change on the economy, public health, and the planet’s natural systems that generate life-sustaining ecosystem services. This clean energy transition is driven by the rapid decline in the cost of renewable energy, and a large surge in private and public investment in wind, solar, storage, and energy efficiency. Industry experts will address the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on sustainable investments, as well as current and near-terms prospects for clean energy, climate action, and environmental, social, and governance investing.
Featured speakers include Cutler J. Cleveland, Professor of Earth and Environment and Associate Director of the Institute for Sustainable Energy at Boston University, and Jennifer Leonard, CFA (CAS’94), Executive Director, Asset Manager Due Diligence and Portfolio Co-Manager at Cornerstone Capital Group.
