Climate change is unarguably one of the biggest threats to our futures and building a better, more sustainable future for the planet and generations to come is paramount.

We all have a role to play in considering the risks of climate change and ensuring that the decisions taken have an impact in the real world. Considering climate change in building investment strategies; engaging with members; funding pension schemes; and holding investment managers accountable are all core considerations for the financial services industry.

Join us for an event on climate change, as part of our 100th birthday activities, where we'll be focussing on why we must all take action, highlighting what can be done and the differences our actions can make to help shape our futures.
