Introduction
Aurum Funds Limited hosted their second Alternative ESG Symposium in May 2024, aimed at driving forward positive, sustainable change across the alternative investment industry. The symposium gathered subject matter experts and industry representatives to collaborate and share insights across a wide range of disciplines. In order to share these discussions with a wider audience, the content from the panel sessions has been collated into a series of short articles, covering the key ideas and potential benefits to the alternative investment industry.
In the second part of the series summarising the discussions at Aurum Funds Limited’s recent ESG Symposium we look at – “Transitions and tipping points”. This session covered tipping points – critical thresholds that when crossed lead to large, accelerating and often irreversible changes – which may speed up global warming. The panellists also discussed the need for accelerated action to transition the economy to address environmental and social issues.
