The Tipping Point - Washington, D.C. (19-20 October 2011) - Programme
Sustained Stability in the next Economy: Lenses and Clocks
Public and private actors involved in the investment and financial intermediation chains can benefit from the use of better quality and wider “lenses” that give greater depth, breadth and granularity to our vision and understanding of a wider range of risks. They would also benefit greatly by employing “clocks” that heighten our appreciation of the temporal nature of risk by neither over emphasizing those short-term and seemingly more easily quantifiable risks or under emphasizing long-term less easily quantifiable risks.
Panel Speakers: Yvo de Boer, former Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and Global Advisor on Climate Change & Sustainability, KPMG, Gavin Power, Deputy Director, UN Global Compact, Jigar Shah, CEO, Carbon War Room. Moderator: Leo Jonhson, Co-Founder, Sustainable Finance Ltd
