S5 Ep.7 Has climate change moved from a specialist concern to a structural business issue?

About this episode

The episode discusses the evolution of climate change from a niche concern to a central issue in business strategy and investment.

In our final episode of the season, Nigel Timperley is joined by LCP’s Claire Jones and LCP Delta’s Jon Slowe to reflect on the key insights, the unexpected moments, and what these conversations tell us about the true state of the transition today. We cover: • How climate considerations have moved from novel to mainstream in investment and business strategy • Whether economics is now outpacing politics in driving the energy transition • Why the cost of transition needs a more honest and nuanced conversation • The growing importance of adaptation and resilience alongside decarbonisation
