Climate Action series - Focus on Carbon: Why the choice of carbon metric matters

For Wholesale clients and Institutional/Professional Investors only - not to be further circulated For professional investors (in Switzerland for qualified investors) only - not for retail investors This climate action webinar will focus on carbon analysis in investment portfolios: what the different carbon metrics are telling you and the implications for investment decisions and real world decarbonisation. There will be a particular focus on different use cases and questions related to assessing carbon emissions across different asset classes and regions, including: - What metric do you choose and what difference does it make to your decarbonisation journey & investment choices? - Where are data gaps most prevalent and how do you deal with them? - How do we take a forward looking view on carbon beyond taking targets at face value? Ultimately, does a focus on carbon help understand portfolio alignment and have a positive impact on real world progress towards net zero in the regions where it is most needed? Eva Cairns, Head of Sustainability Insights and Climate Strategy, will host a session on this topic with our carbon expert Nick Gaskell and abrdn fund managers across Fixed Income, Equities and Real Estate to bring the challenges to life in day to day investing. There will be a short presentation from each asset class representative, followed by a panel and audience Q&A.
