Join Joel and James ad they chat with climate change activitist, Ben McNeil. Ben learnt that the most important thing to help climate change is to empower financial markets to accelerate to net zero emissions. But it's difficult to quantify the risks and harness the investment opportunities during the global carbon transition. That's why he co-founded Emmi to solve this problem, allowing a quantitative view of carbon risk and opportunities across equity portfolios in the net-zero world. This then allows asset managers to effectively deploy capital to create long term economic value and have positive real world impact on climate.
