The adoption of a dual gender and climate lens in our investments will be crucial if we are to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement by 2050.

And what can we learn from our experiences so far, to help investors hit the ground running? This session explored what’s working and what’s not, with a deep dive into the ‘how’ of gender and climate investment.
