Climate change: bigger than the financial crisis?

This month we talk climate change with fund manager Simon Webber and Global Head of Stewardship Jessica Ground.

Jessica explains why climate change could have a bigger effect on company earnings than the financial crisis and what the asset management industry is doing to combat it.

Simon tells us why Amazon could be an example of a force for good for climate change, and what to look for in the potential winners and losers from climate change.

New podcasts are available on the third Thursday of every month from wherever you get your podcasts.
