Join us for a conversation with Valeria Piani, Chair of Climate Action 100+ Steering Committee and Head of Stewardship at Phoenix Group, on the evolving role of investors in driving climate action.

Valeria has been shaping investor engagement since long before ESG was mainstream. In her new leadership role at Climate Action 100+, she is helping redefine what effective stewardship looks like—balancing ambition with realism, and engagement with impact. She will share her perspective on where progress has been made, where it has stalled, and how the next phase of climate stewardship can deliver real-world results.

We will also explore what this shift means for entrepreneurs and investors seeking to accelerate the climate transition—how capital allocation, corporate engagement, and innovation can reinforce each other in practice.
