With the success of the 2020 series, The PRI and London Stock Exchange Group will be hosting three virtual events throughout 2021 leading up to COP26, which will take place 1-12 November in Glasgow, Scotland. The ‘COP26: Investor Action on Climate’ series aims to build further momentum toward taking action on climate change by the investment industry ahead of the COP26 Climate Summit.
The world faces numerous societal and economic challenges as it comes out of COVID-19 lockdowns, and these very issues will help investors to address potential crises of the future and understand ways to transition to green growth and recovery.
