This SG Pensions Enterprise masterclass explored how the multiple challenges and disciplines involved in formulating an effective climate policy can become a recipe for inaction.

The session explored the great need for integrated thinking, bringing together all the elements of the Masterclass series in pursuit of a practically effective climate policy for pensions schemes.

In common with all SGPE masterclasses, this event was highly interactive, with free and frank exchanges of views, and a focus on original and thought-provoking content – participants wereencouraged to engage and contribute proactively throughout the session.
