Investing with a gender and climate lens is simply smart investing. The approach promises to amplify impacts and returns by uncovering new investment opportunities, mitigating risk, and improving decision making. It's also an important lever for achieving the objectives of the Paris Agreement and UN SDGs by 2050. While women today are disproportionately impacted by many elements of climate change, gender equality, and women’s leadership, employment and consumption are also vital for delivering environmental and consumption are also vital for delivering environmental sustainability and resilience. Across sectors, in both developed and emerging markets, this session will explore what we can learn from the experiences of pioneers in this space to help investors hit the ground running, as well as to understand what’s needed to bring this approach into the financial mainstream.
