With dialogues focusing on the enormous opportunity the transition offers financial services to generate new, green revenue streams and the importance of global, cross-sector collaboration in building a stable and profitable financial sector in a resilient Net Zero economy.

In this video, created by the University of Reading for the launch of the Green Horizon Perspectives 2021 series event hosted by City of London Corporation and Green Finance Institute (and supported by the World Economic Forum), Ed explains how the stripes have gained worldwide recognition, being shared by millions, from US senators to rock bands, appearing at international climate change events, and even popping up on a Tesla. The stripes speak to everyone, regardless of language and background, making them an ideal emblem for climate action as world leaders meet to discuss commitments to attempt to meet the Paris Agreement targets.
