Financing the Green Energy Transition - Net Zero Conversation Series

LSEG’s Group Head of Sustainability Jane Goodland speaks to Bryony Widdup, Partner at DLA Piper, to discuss the roadmap towards net zero and the critical role that the financial services industry has to play in climate action. The conversation focuses on how sustainable finance and investments are mobilising capital, and engagement between the public and private sectors, as well as the NGO community, are bringing together implementation on these commitments. Bryony also identifies some of the hurdles that the industry needs to address to achieve its climate goals, looking at the need for more public policy intervention, and a refocusing on transition finance, in order to ensure a framework for credible investments in green energy. The Net Zero Conversations series was filmed at the Net Zero Delivery Summit, hosted by the City of London Corporation in association with the COP 26 UK Presidency 2022 and the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ).
