Crash or Crush? A $35 Trillion Market Reshapes Beyond ESG: BI Replay

Sustainable and climate investing remain resilient despite a growing rhetoric and could reach $35 trillion by 2030, factoring 85% slower pace. ESG ETF assets grew 20% in 2024, even as sentiment diverge, while sustainable debt is set to top $20 trillion by 2030, even as some firms leave global alliances. Yet, ESG faces challenges from excessive regulation and greenwashing stigma as the backlash deepens, while climate faces trade and litigation risks as the US administration exits the Paris Accord. Please join the BI Sustain team to discuss how 2025 will be pivotal amidst a fractured global backdrop as ESG rebrands and shifts toward an era of pragmatism, while the transition intersects with geopolitics and shapes an era of climate diplomacy. We will also examine how policymakers aim to streamline rules and restore credibility, investors focus on ESG quantamental strategies and allocate to emerging themes, corporate weigh commitments and favour greenhushing as a new form of quiet leadership.
