Re-Evaluating the Case for Sustainable Investing with David Atkin | PRI

Sustainable investing has faced mounting challenges in recent years—global flows into ESG products have slowed, regulatory uncertainty looms, and in some regions, political resistance is growing. But does this signal a retreat from responsible investing, or is the market simply evolving?

In this thought-provoking conversation, David Atkin, CEO of the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), unpacks the biggest questions facing sustainable finance today:

  • Are investors still committed to integrating sustainability into capital markets?

  • How are regulatory shifts shaping the future of ESG investing?

  • Is political pushback a temporary setback, or a sign of deeper market shifts?

As we enter a new era of global finance, where geopolitical uncertainty, technological advancements, and economic shifts are rewriting the rules, the role of sustainable investing has never been more critical. Will markets double down on ESG, or is a new investment paradigm emerging?

Watch now to explore the forces shaping the future of responsible investment.
