Can decarbonizing investment portfolios actually save the planet?
In short: Investment expert Nili Gilbert examines why simply cleaning up financial portfolios is insufficient to fight climate change and explores how real capital can drive global transition.
The video explores the gap between superficial portfolio decarbonization and meaningful climate action. While the financial sector focuses on cleaning investment portfolios, Gilbert argues this can occur without addressing the underlying environmental crisis.
True decarbonization requires a massive scale of investment, with costs estimated at between three to five trillion dollars annually from now until 2050. Gilbert discusses how bringing science into finance can help manage this costly endeavor to ensure the transition is interconnected, global, and just.
