Shownotes Transcript

Earlier this month, representatives of 196 countries gathered in Columbia for the United Nations’ COP16 – the world’s largest biodiversity summit. It was two years ago at COP15 - when governments struck a historic deal to halt the destruction of ecosystems. So, COP16 had big boots to fill! But what actually happened at the summit and what could it mean for the planet and investors?

In this episode, we interview two climate and nature experts in our Investment Stewardship team – Alex Burr, ESG policy lead, and Toby MacKean, ESG analyst. Alex and Toby flew out to Columbia for the summit and will be sharing their ‘on the ground’ perspectives to help us navigate the event and its potential impact.
