OM DENNE EPISODE
The second part of the U.N.'s Convention on Biological Diversity, known as COP15, kicks off in Montreal on Dec. 7. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we tell you what to expect.
We speak to Elizabeth Mrema, COP15 Executive Secretary and Co-Chair of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures, or TNFD. She talks to us about themes that will be covered during COP15 and what will make the conference a success.
"We need to see the world and the parties to the convention really understand that business as usual is no longer an option," Elizabeth says. "Action requires resources. And so therefore, appropriate mobilization of resources — both technical and financial — must be agreed on."
To learn about how financial institutions are increasingly engaging with the topics of nature and biodiversity, we speak with Lazaro Tiant, investment director on the sustainable investment team at U.K.-based asset manager Schroders. Lazaro talks to us about the role the private sector will play at COP15.
And to connect the dots between nature and climate, we return to our interview with Virginia Dundas, Head of Strategic Environment Programmes at Ørsted, Denmark's largest energy company. She talks about some of the creative solutions and new technologies being deployed to address nature loss and the biodiversity crisis.
