M-RCBG Senior Fellow-Led Study Group: Ludovic Subran
Tuesday, February 4, 4:30-6:00 L-382 Kahn
As Europe embarks on a bold journey to be the first continent to be climate neutral, criticisms and open questions abound. Can the car industry survive? What are critical pathways to a net-zero economy? How does finance play a role?
Join Ludovic Subran to exchange ideas on the science-based pathways he outlined in his most recent book which he co-authored with Markus Zimmer, as well as his practitioner experience at the helm of Allianz’ investments.
Ludovic will distribute his book, Investing in a Changing Climate: Navigating Challenges and Opportunities, to study group participants.
This study group / discussion is open to all HUID holders. Registration is not necessary.
M-RCBG welcomes individuals with disabilities to participate in its programs. To request accommodations or ask questions about access provided, please email: mrcbg@hks.harvard.edu
