Today we’re joined by Matt Egerton, Fidelity analyst and portfolio manager for a look at investment opportunities with an ESG lens. The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference is underway in Egypt with global policymakers coming together to discuss several key climate change issues, including how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reach net zero by 2050, and the ongoing energy crisis. But the conference hasn’t come without criticism of America’s Inflation Reduction Act. What are the implications between the two, and is there a commitment from the U.S. financial community to fund the energy transition? Matt unpacks this and more with host Bryan Borzykowski today. A few additional key topics include the role of oil and gas in the future if rich countries should be compensating poor countries for the effects of climate change, how ESG ratings are created, and what is Fidelity’s approach to ESG metrics and ratings?

Recorded on November 18, 2022.
