In 2020, the former BoE governor Mark Carney said the bank's objective was that "every professional financial decision will need to take climate change into account". 
Since then we have seen regulatory action on removing greenwashing from the investment process, a consumer duty obligation to have more open conversations with clients about their investment choices and a global push politically and economically to tackle climate change. 
But what about more immediate, tangible effects that can be seen in investing directly to tackle environmental degradation? How can the natural economy align to individual financial plans as well as to the wider economy?
Here to discuss these things with FT Adviser editor Simoney Kyriakou is Will McDonald, an independent consultant and a sustainability and public policy expert.
