COP26 delivered only modest progress towards addressing the climate crisis, underscoring the complexity and difficulty of finding a way through it.

I’m pleased to invite you to our first in-person event for some time – to reflect and consider the ever-mounting challenges, governance burden and increasing expectations of pension scheme investors on climate change and risk.

In this session, we’ll ask some difficult but necessary questions:
• What is the best route forward for pension funds?
• Should trustees be investing differently, or engaging to change the actions of others?
• What role does the TCFD framework play in helping to deliver progress – and, how achievable are net zero commitments really?
• Why do trustees face an increasing burden of governance on climate risk? And, is it fair and reasonable?
• Will all this make a difference anyway?

Drawing on each other’s insights and experience, in a discussion to be held under the Chatham House Rule, we’ll seek practical and helpful ways forward.

I hope you can join us!
