On 8 October 2024, Finextra Research and ResponsibleRisk held the annual Sustainable Finance Live hybrid conference and hackathon, in partnership with NayaOne.
The conference took place at Events@ No6 in London, and started off with a welcome from founder of ResponsibleRisk and contributing editor for Finextra, Richard Peers. Peers opened with an introduction outlining the themes and objectives of this year’s event: to understand natural capital risk, pricing, and trade.
The focus areas of the conference were natural capital, agriculture, supply chains, as well as regulation and reporting. The sessions also highlighted highlighting new technologies that are being used to collect nature-related data such as Earth observation and satellite reporting.
Richard Peers, contributing editor at Finextra and founder of ResponsibleRisk, moderated the conference: “What we wanted to do is to put on an event aimed at explaining the landscape of a natural capital transaction, with the associated data providers identified along the way. Ending the process in an asset management trading platform, taking into consideration all the steps that a regulated entity has to undertake, to prove to the financial industry that this can be an asset class, that is as tradable as any other.”
