Launch: Emerging Economies Climate Report

Join us for an exclusive in-person event launching of British International Investment’s Emerging Economies Climate Report 2023 at ODI’s London office.

The report, now in its third year, explores how the climate emergency is affecting companies in emerging economies, how they are responding, and how investors can better support companies as we move together to a greener future. The report includes the findings from a survey of senior executives working across our portfolio of companies and funds, providing an annual source of insights and data.

During the event the expert panel will delve into the latest findings and insights, and explore how to address climate risks and maximise climate opportunities in emerging economies.
