In this episode, we explore the practical answers to this question and more. We also feature research leveraging Sustainalytics’ Low Carbon Transition Ratings and Physical Climate Risk Metrics assessing companies' misalignment with the transition to net zero. We also discussed COP 16, which is focused on biodiversity and the key role of the private sector in addressing biodiversity loss.
