This webinar took place on 12 February 2025

Co-hosted by ESG Investor and FLINTpro, this webinar features insights from leading experts on how financial institutions can monitor and reduce GHG emissions in their portfolios arising from exposure to FLAG (forest, land and agriculture) sectors. With the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessing the FLAG sector as representing 22% of all anthropogenic emissions – and deforestation commitments expiring in 2025 – accelerated action by investors is critical.

Key Themes
• Policy and regulatory initiatives aimed at eliminating deforestation and other practices in FLAG sectors damaging to climate and nature
• Advances in technology and data available to financial institutions to track emissions across supply chains and locations
• Best practice in setting and achieving emissions reduction targets in line with best available science
• Turning decision-useful information into cross-functional actions to ensure meaningful on-the-ground results across FLAG sub-sectors

Kelly Nugent, Associate Director, Climate Resiliency & Decarbonization, Anthesis Group
Chiara Vitali, Senior Stewardship Specialist, Nature, Principles for Responsible Investment
Graham Stock, Senior Sovereign Strategist, Emerging Markets, RBC BlueBay Asset Management
