Addressing Commercial Trends In Renewables And Decarbonization
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.While the commercial renewables industry was born inside the public policy and utility frameworks, the evolution of the industry in the past 3 years has widened considerably. We explore some of the major shifts driving demand for large-scale renewable development, the key enabling commercial points that enable wider scale adoption, and the importance of market design for participants. Key focus areas for conversation include Decarbonising supply chains, needed to promote a growing adoption of net-zero carbon corporate goals by leading multinationalsTransitioning to EV’s: a new 30-year cycle of electricity demand growth, driven by low-carbon resources Green Hydrogen and e-fuels: renewables are the key enabling component of building zero net-carbon liquid fuels for heavy industry and transportation utilities in transition: faster adoption of renewables as a driver of customer satisfaction and shareholder returns.

Transformative Investment in Climate Smart Agriculture
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.Join the U.S. Farmers and Ranchers in Action and World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) for a panel on transformative investment in climate-smart agriculture. U.S. agriculture has the opportunity to significantly drawdown atmospheric carbon and the potential to be the first ‘carbon positive’ sector in the U.S. economy. However, farmers and ranchers can’t and shouldn’t do it alone. They and rural communities should gain economically from the improvements made to create healthier soil, conserve water, and protect nature. US food and agriculture companies have an opportunity to move toward decarbonizing their businesses while unlocking benefits to their top and bottom lines, all while helping improve human equity and environmental sustainability across their value chains. And, investors have much to gain from owning companies that manage risk and innovate to drive sustainable practices across their portfolios.

Investing in Water and Climate Risk
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.From private equity to public equities, the nature of investments as we transition past the COVID season of 2020 has never been more critical. We must restore our planet through ESG-lens capital deployment, allocation, and rebalancing. This discussion between Jeff Gitterman and Matt Diserio covers much more than extreme heat, weather events, and how to analyze investing in water for humanity's future. The Nest Summit covers all the essentials, such as how water is the primary resource for the 4th Industrial Revolution, similar to oil in the previous era of booming economic realization globally.
Deeper Data on Institutional ESG Strategies
In partnership with the Climate Group and FINTECH.TV, The Nest Summit is an official event of Climate Week NYC, dedicated to advancing sustainability in the US by convening the organizations, visionary researchers, and influential policymakers driving climate action and leading the way to a cleaner and safer environment.Pensions, endowments, foundations, family offices, wealth managers, and other institutional investors have long been interested in managers that factor ESG into their process, but it’s historically been hard to evaluate those managers on a peer basis. These investors have struggled to collect ESG data, then aggregate and standardize it for apples-to-apples comparisons. At the same time, managers with ESG strategies have been challenged to keep up with these data requests. eVestment’s next-generation ESG questionnaire solves both sides of the equation by making it easy for ESG managers to highlight what makes their approach unique and providing a single point of access to data from thousands of managers in one platform for investors and consultants. In this interview, eVestment’s Erika Spence will describe how the questionnaire gets behind greenwashing by delving into how each ESG strategy actually implements its philosophy, the inputs used by the portfolio team, and the extent to which the firm itself incorporates ESG into its corporate management.
