KraneShares Dubai COP28 Climate/Carbon Investment Forum: Elevate Your Planet & Portfolio
Wednesday, December 6th, 2023
8:30 am - 2:00 pm GMT+4
Join us at the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) for KraneShares Dubai COP28 Climate / Carbon Investment Forum where we will explore actionable strategies that we believe can elevate your portfolio while benefiting the planet. The event will be in partnership with DFM, CFA Society Emirates, Climate Finance Partners (CLIFI), BloombergNEF, S&P Dow Jones Indices, and Citywire Middle East. We will delve into the critical 'what, why, and how' of investing in ESG, carbon, and the clean energy transition.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) the world must invest $240 trillion between now and 2050 in order stave off the detrimental effects of climate change. This shift is creating one of the most significant investment opportunities of our lifetime. At the same time the challenges of divesting from carbon-intensive industries is an under acknowledged risk to investors’ portfolios. During our event we will discuss practical investment opportunities that can potentially mitigate these risks, while also providing attractive uncorrelated return potential. We will also provide a COP28 Mid-session update and hear from prominent institutions, exchanges, and industry experts on how investors in the Middle East, Asia, and the rest of the world are navigating the transition and producing climate-focused portfolios.
