Peak Everything: Enough to Go Around?
Subject:
Long Finance - London Accord Spring Conference 2011
Established in 2007, Long Finance aims to improve society's understanding and use of finance over the long term by hosting and promoting a series of lectures, discussion events and research publications. The initiative began with a question, “when would we know our financial system is working?”, and seeks to challenge a financial system that revolves around short-term thinking and practices.
As of 2011, the London Accord is the sustainability arm of this initiative, a unique collaboration among over thirty financial services organisations providing free access to investment research on environmental, social & governance (ESG) issues. Recognising that today’s extra financial issues are tomorrow’s key investment drivers, the London Accord acts as a nexus between the financial services industry and society to engage on long-term thinking about ESG issues, finance and policies.
The Long Finance-London Accord Spring Conference 2011, "Peak Everything: Enough To Go Around?", explores the relationship between prosperity, resource scarcity and finance. The conference takes the form of a keynote speech, delivered by Professor Paul Ekins of the UCL Energy Institute, followed by two panel discussions - "Prosperity and Resource Scarcity - What Role Should Finance Play?" and "Finance, Biodiversity and Managed Ecosystems - Where's the Data?".
