Climate transition in China - a joint webinar by Norsif and ChinaSIF for members of the Nordic SIFs
Introduction
China raised the 2060 carbon neutrality goal in 2020, which creates significant impacts on a number of sectors in China ranging from renewable to finance. On the one hand, it is important to understand the transition pathway and access the carbon data to manage the risks of your portfolio. On the other hand, climate-related technology, renewable energy and associated industries might also create opportunities.
Jointly organized by Norsif and China SIF, this webinar will invite China ESG experts to discuss climate transition in China.
