With nearly $6 trillion in market capitalization, the global financial sector will play a vital role in supporting timely, cost-effective solutions to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. Ceres, a leading coalition of investors, environmental organizations and other public interest groups working to address sustainability challenges such as global climate change, and the Investor Network on Climate Risk will soon publish a groundbreaking report, authored by RiskMetrics Group's Climate Change Research Group, that reveals how forty of the world's largest banks are preparing to face the challenge of minimizing climate risks.

Please join Mindy Lubber, President of Ceres, and Doug Cogan, Head of Climate Change Research at RiskMetrics Group, as they share the findings from the report, Corporate Governance and Climate Change: The Banking Sector. The forum will also provide insight into how corporate executives and board directors are addressing the governance controls that will be needed to minimize climate risks while maximizing climate-friendly opportunities.
