October 05, 2020, 11:45 AM - 12:45 PM EDT(-04:00) Julian Marwitz, Sid Efromovich, Cynthia Dalagelis Next Gen investors are very sensitive about the social and environmental effects of their investments and highly value sustainable strategies with a positive impact on the world. In fact, younger generations are looking for financial solutions addressing issues ranging from reducing global warming to alleviating extreme poverty and hunger, while avoiding deploying capital in carbon-heavy and unfair ventures. In this session experts will discuss the increasing importance and market share of Next Gen investors and how value investing addresses their goals and preferences for social and environmental sustainability.

Panel Integrating Climate Risks into Portfolio Strategy October 06, 2020, 04:00 AM - 05:00 AM EDT(-04:00) Rashila Kerai, Mike Azlen, Paloma Baena Climate risk is an ever increasing issue not only for society and the environment, but also for the financial industry: countless industries will be affected over time, while some have already started to feel the effects now. Asset allocators should therefore account for the negative impact of climate change on their portfolio structure by integrating the entailing risk into their investment model, ultimately hedging against environmental factors like desertification and rising sea levels. In this session, financial and environmental experts will discuss the importance of climate risk and how to improve mainstream portfolio strategies by integrating it in investment decision making.

In fact, the world population is booming at an unprecedented rate and the nutrition standards across the world have substantially increased, meaning much more food needs to be produced to satisfy the ever increasing demand. However, water and land resources are finite and climate change only hinders the growth in food production. In order to appropriately feed an increasing urban and demanding population, agricultural producers have to employ the latest technology and methods in order to maximise their output; however, they also have to use techniques which reduce water and land use, while abating their operations’ overall carbon footprint. In this panel, experts will identify these challenges and contextualise them in the current scientific and business case.
