Our second event in the Earth Convention series looks at creating a green transition in energy and finance that can help us move towards a sustainable recovery from the pandemic. How is business organising itself for climate action? We will look at technology, the role of the state and lessons from the 2008 financial crisis. Speakers: Jonathon Porritt is Co-Founder of Forum for the Future, a writer, broadcaster and campaigner on sustainable development. His latest book is Hope in Hell: A decade to confront the climate emergency. Mike Berners-Lee is a professor of sustainability at Lancaster University and the founder of Small World Consulting. He is also the author of How Bad Are Bananas, The Burning Question and There Is No Planet B. Farhana Yamin is an internationally recognised environmental lawyer, climate change and development policy expert, CEO of Track 0 and Coordinator of Camden Think & Do. Matt Crossman is the stewardship director for Rathbones. He also leads thematic engagement with companies on ESG issues, especially that undertaken via the UN backed Principles for Responsible Investment.
