  18. Session Transition

  19. Why a radical rethink of fiduciary duty is needed for trustees to take action on climate change.

    Most UK pensions assets are held by closed DB schemes on a de-risking journey. Given trustees’ responsibility to make their own members’ benefits secure, and the fact that their holding in growth assets is small and temporary, many trustees feel the direct impact they can have on changing the outlook for climate change is limited. Aaron Punwani expresses the view that compliance and reporting requirements will make little difference to investment decisions – and therefore to the planet and society – unless they are accompanied by better incentives for real-world action. He makes a case for how the industry can evolve its approach to join the dots.

    Speaker
