The SustainAbility Institute by ERM and Ceres hosted a briefing on a new report, The Changing Climate for Private Equity. The report aims to accelerate action on the climate crisis by unlocking the potential for private equity to help attain the goals of the Paris Agreement.
In this webinar, we presented and discussed the report’s findings, examined how private equity firms view climate-related risks and opportunities and what they expect of companies in their portfolios in terms of net zero goals and climate risk management and disclosure.
