In conversation: Mark Carney and Delia Cristea on Net-zero Leadership

On April 19 in Ottawa, Canada 2020 hosted our first Net-zero Leadership Summit, a gathering of leading experts and innovators from across Canada and beyond to explore the challenges and opportunities of achieving a net-zero economy. As we undergo shared global health and environmental challenges, along with major geopolitical and economic shifts, we must look to how markets, governments, and people can forge a new and better path forward. In the first of our series of highlighted conversations from this summit, we hear a keynote from Mark Carney (UN Special Envoy for Climate and Finance and Chair of the Canada 2020 Advisory Board), and conversation with Delia Cristea (Partner, General Counsel, and Sustainability Lead for Power Sustainable) on the net-zero transition internationally, what's happening in the financial sector, and lessons for Canada.<br />This conversation has been edited for length and clarity ahead of publication.
