27 September – 1 October | Online

This is an exciting and important time for sustainable finance in Canada with new opportunities for investor leadership across North America and around the world. Political winds are shifting, and with the covid recovery in site and COP26 on the horizon, Canadian banks, pension funds, and financial regulators are all working to better define ESG metrics that will support climate action and build a more resilient world.

The RI Canada 2021 conference will bring local and international leaders together to examine the potential for Canadian investors to respond to systemic risks such as climate change, pandemics, the rise of populist authoritarianism, economic inequality and an accelerating energy transition away from fossil fuels. Participants will debate a wide range of ESG investing themes that have the potential to either reinforce or damage the bottom line for long-term value investors.

Carbon Tracker’s Kingsmill Bond will be speaking in Plenary 5: Decarbonising the Canadian economy to net zero: what will that mean for investor portfolios in the short, medium and long term? The session will discuss: What actions are needed to shift the fossil fuel-reliant economy to Net Zero? How can Canadian investors remain competitive in a low carbon economy? And an update on the Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance.
