The Net Zero Carbon Conference brings together climate scientists, investment practitioners and financial advisers to investigate the impact of investing for net zero. When a client invests for a sustainable future, how does that investment drive change towards a carbon-neutral world? The event will explain the scientific imperative of a carbon neutral world and how investment can engage, usher, and force, the transition in companies and economies.

Hear on the imperative need for a carbon-neutral economy. Investment practitioners will discuss their engagement and the realities of putting companies on a path to being net zero.

The Net Zero Carbon target, devised by P1, is a collaboration between climate scientists and investment practitioners, currently implemented by 13 individual funds across 10 fund houses. Net Zero Carbon targets 2030 for achieving carbon-neutrality as it drives leadership in the transition to sustainability. The target now has over £10.4bn assets under management focused on creating a net zero carbon world.
