  • Hope for the future!

    Thank you for an excellent podcast interviewing industry leaders and bringing to us such in-depth and varied knowledge on a sustainable future.

    When we look around us it is very easy to be pessimistic about the future and what world future generations will inhabit. These episodes always leave me with a sense of hope and challenge me to play a meaningful part.

    Excellent work!

Heather Zichal, JP Morgan Chase Global Head of Sustainability, on No Sacred Cows in Sustainable Investing
Q: How do you see the current political climate reshaping how financial institutions prioritize clean energy investments?
Investment decisions will be shaped primarily by commercial factors like price, reliability, and emissions profile, not purely by politics.
Heather Zichal, JP Morgan Chase Global Head of Sustainability, on No Sacred Cows in Sustainable Investing
Q: How do you reconcile the rollback of climate commitments from corporate America?
I view it as a recalibration rather than a rollback; it's healthy to adjust targets based on changing circumstances and to strive for realistic goals.
Heather Zichal, JP Morgan Chase Global Head of Sustainability, on No Sacred Cows in Sustainable Investing
Q: Given your experience on both the policy and finance fronts, what do you think financial actors can actually do?
Financial actors should focus on navigating investment risks and opportunities while aligning with client values, acknowledging that they can't alone drive climate outcomes against government policy.

Q: How is the insurance industry being reshaped by climate-related risks?
We are seeing growing market stress, increasing volatility, and the need for public sector involvement.
