Future-Proofing Climate & Gender-Smart Investment Strategies (Option 1)

This working session will explore the trends and drivers influencing gender, climate and the global investment context over the next 20 years. This session builds off the ongoing foresight work from the climate and gender investment working group.

Based on a series of potential future scenarios, delegates will explore what implications and investable opportunities might emerge within these futures, how their current investment strategies would fair in these different realities, and what we can individually and collectively do today prepare for these possible outcomes.
