Description :

Despite growing focus on longer term sustainability and resilience of business models, nearer term returns expectations often dominate investor decisions. This raises a fundamental question: Are markets adequately pricing transition risk and opportunity?

This panel will examine how investors navigate the tension between short-term performance and long-term sustainable returns, and how transition strategies are assessed, as well as in public and private markets. It will explore how investors distinguish credible transition plans from unproven commitments, and how factors such as policy signals, sector pathways, and time horizons shape investment decisions.

It will also explore the role of financial institutions as active market participants, driving the transition while delivering risk-adjusted returns.
