Knot - Propelling a graceful transition: the role of the financial system

1 Jun 2022

This conference is about the role of finance in the transition to net-zero. [...] Similar to the effort required for the swans to propel themselves, if the financial system is to play its part in a smooth and graceful transition, swift action is required. [...] As I mentioned at the start, the financial sector must play its part, both to help meet net zero targets and to manage the financial risks from climate change. [...] The swans I see on the Amstel river, the ones that have a calming, mesmerizing effect on me are, of course, not the green swans this conference refers to. [...] Members of the public may only see the outcome of such propulsion, just as I only see the swan above the surface.
