A tectonic shift towards sustainability is driving a long-term transformation across the finance industry. Climate and transition risks are going to impact every portfolio. A variety of factors from policies and regulations to technology and consumer appetite is leading to a change in investor behavior and setting in motion a gradual capital reallocation.
Join Ms Deborah Ho, Regional Head of the Southeast Asian business and Country Head of Singapore at BlackRock, as she shares her thoughts on the green transition – the progress thus far and challenges ahead as the world races to a net zero economy by 2050.
Mr Carl Hu, MBA candidate of NUS Business School, will moderate the Q&A session.
Hosted by Strategic Relations X The NUS MBA
