Listen in on our Sustainable Finance Policy and Practice team's recent discussion on climate transition planning, blended finance and nature-related financial disclosures. These innovative approaches have been gaining attention in Canada but need more rigorous research and clearer policy framing to move from concept to practice.
This webinar highlights SPI’s foundational research on these topics, showing how international approaches can work in Canada’s policy, market and institutional context. Watch the recording for key insights, findings and practical takeaways from:
- Climate-related Transition Planning and Plans in Canada: Exploring Concepts, Contexts and Challenges
