Beyond ESG: The Emergence of Climate-Aligned Finance and the Utility Transition
Webinar

The future of utility finance

By the end of 2019, financial institutions representing $17.2 trillion had committed to align their portfolios with Paris Agreement temperature goals—and climate alignment commitments in the financial sector continue to gain momentum.

Join S&P Global Platts as we engage an executive-level panel to discuss climate-alignment, and how this sea-change in the financial sector will change the way investors finance and evaluate utility portfolios.

We'll cover each of these talking points, with live audience Q&A to follow. Join us live and ask our speakers the questions that have been on your mind.

Key Topics

• What does “climate-aligned finance” mean?
• How quickly is the financial sector reacting?
• How are utilities addressing climate risks in response?
• How might climate-aligned finance inform investors’ approach to energy transition risk in the utility sector?
• What tools can investors employ to speed the retirement of misaligned power sector assets? What tools can help with energy transition trajectories?
• How can capital providers steer corporate decision-making to accelerate climate alignment and the utility sector’s transition to a low-carbon future?
