SC executive chairman Syed Zaid Albar: We can expect increased demand for green and sustainability funding across all types of businesses, including micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.

LAST Wednesday, Sir David Attenborough said: “If we are to live in harmony with nature, we need a world in which every financial decision takes climate change into account.” His words should have resonated with all the 1, 500 participants of the Joint Committee on Climate Change (JC3) flagship conference.

This sentiment certainly dovetails with the work that financial regulators worldwide are taking to ensure industry readiness and resilience against climate-related risks.
