Rathbones has partnered with 5 x 15, one of London’s leading cultural events organisations, to bring you a series of online Zoom talks on climate change and to ask the questions that need to be answered.
The talks will feature a panel of renowned journalists, professors, activists, economists and policy advisers and will be chaired by Baroness Rosie Boycott.
Based on feedback from our 2020 investment conference, the issue at the forefront of many of our clients’ minds is climate change and what practical steps might be taken to tackle the effects of the climate emergency. Entering the debate, Rathbones’ stewardship director, Matt Crossman will speak alongside Jonathan Porritt and Mike Berners-Lee on creating a green transition in energy and finance and in our last talk on consumers, we will be joined by luminaries from our Rathbones Look forward series, climate journalist Lucy Siegle and economist, Professor Dieter Helm.
