The path to a low-carbon economy was the focus of yesterday's discussion, as board members, executives, and financial professionals explored how climate action can create positive outcomes for businesses, communities, and society alike on Just Transition Finance, hosted by the Climate Governance Initiative Mauritius (CGI Mauritius), in collaboration with MCB Group and with the support of United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI).
As climate action accelerates across the globe, the conversation is evolving. Beyond emissions targets and transition plans lies a critical question: How can organisations ensure that the shift to a low-carbon economy remains fair, inclusive, and economically sustainable for workers, communities, and businesses?
Through valuable insights shared by Aaron Cantrell, Just Transition Specialist, and Joana Pedro, Social and Human Rights Lead at United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), participants explored how leading banks and insurers are embedding social considerations into climate strategies and what this means for governance, risk management, and leadership in Mauritius.
The session reinforced a key message for boards and senior leaders: climate governance is not only about managing environmental risks, it is also about ensuring that the transition creates long-term value for people and society.
Thank you to all those who contributed to a rich and forward-looking discussion.
