When it comes to climate investing: where are we? Where do we need to be? How will we get there? 

We ask former Climate Change Minister and co-leader of the Green Party, James Shaw, before he leaves Parliament on May 1.

Shaw explains that while much of his job was telling the truth about a bleak subject, he’s buoyed by the ‘astonishing’ amount of money that’s going into so-called green finance globally. And he  believes the transition from fossil fuels is the greatest investment opportunity of a lifetime.

You’ll learn why climate reporting by listed companies is a gamechanger, the likely fate of forestry, why the carbon markets are failing, and what’s misunderstood about methane.
