climate solutions for pension scheme trustees


Climate change is becoming one of the most important long-term investment risk factors for pension schemes. Trustees have an increasing need to measure and manage climate risk and to build climate resilient investment portfolios.
Hear from policy and institutional investor experts on the upcoming Pension Schemes Bill, and how pension schemes need to take climate change into account as both a risk and an opportunity. 

This was an interactive discussion of the practical solutions available to meet these needs, and hear about the practical considerations for schemes implementing climate solutions.

What you’ll learn

  • Background of the current regulatory landscape in the UK and how it is expected to change
  • Practical information on how climate indexes can be used to address investors’ climate objectives
  • Practical considerations for the implementation of climate solutions in the context of a scheme
