What can we do to build a more sustainable world? Each episode features a thought leader discussing an aspect of sustainability - its origin, evolution and relevance today - with Jason Mitchell, Co-Head of Responsible Investment at Man Group.
Climate adaptation has moved to the mainstream, but are financial systems evolving fast enough to treat resilience as key to stability? Professor Nicola Ranger, London School of Economics, explains why markets struggle to price climate risk, how investment horizons misalign with exposure, and how to close adaptation blind spots.
What if climate change isn’t an alpha problem but a beta problem? Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Simon Hallett, Cambridge Associates Head of Climate Strategy,; what investors, consultants, and asset owners can do to move beyond performative alignment toward capital allocation that actually accelerates the transition, and how investors should course correct without losing momentum or giving sceptics an opening to disengage entirely.
What are the key drivers reshaping the development finance landscape Listen to Jason Mitchell discuss with Andrew McDowell, EIB Global Director General, the forces that are reshaping European development finance at a moment of geopolitical and climate-driven upheaval and how EIB Global is redefining its tools to fill gaps that markets and multilateral development banks aren’t addressing.
How can investing balance risk, return, and sustainability? PGGM's Sander van Stijn and Colin Tissen discuss moving beyond index tracking to a more intentional approach, sharing how early ideas shaped a formal, scalable framework for sustainable investing.
How efficient are markets at pricing climate risk? Bob Litterman, Kepos Capital, explores advances in climate risk thinking, evolving market and policy signals, the true cost of climate uncertainty, and why reduced regulation and net zero pullbacks may drive a sharper focus on understanding rather than reporting climate risk.
What role do central banks play in addressing climate change? Dr Kevin Stiroh, former Federal Reserve and now at Resources for the Future, examines how to frame climate change as a systemic financial risk, what’s at stake, and why evolving macroprudential and microprudential frameworks is essential.
What's at stake in climate modelling? Professor Tapio Schneider, CalTech, discusses how computational science improves understanding of tail risks and extreme events; why small-scale processes are critical for accurate models; and how finance can better integrate climate data into investments.
What does the retreat from global climate initiatives mean and how are investors are still driving the energy transition outside of them? Heather Zichal, JPMorgan Chase Global Head of Sustainability, talks about the role of finance in addressing climate change; why an increasing emphasis on climate adaptation makes sense; and how JP Morgan Chase is capacity building in the sustainability space.
Are there climate risks we shouldn’t be insuring anymore? Dr. Carolyn Kousky, Associate Vice President for Economics and Policy, discusses how climate change is reshaping insurance, what’s at stake if insurance markets begin to break down, and who ultimately bears the financial burden when the private market pulls back.
How could recent legal opinions shift state and private sector climate change obligations? Maurits Dolmans, Cleary Gottlieb, discusses how to rethink the obligations of fiduciary duty relative to climate action; why it may be the key to solving the climate prisoner’s dilemma; and what a legal framework for impact could look like.
