ICE, Gitterman Asset Management and Accenture Host ICE Climate & Capital Conference to Discuss Emerging Climate-related Challenges and Opportunities

Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. (NYSE:ICE), a leading global provider of data, technology, and market infrastructure, and operator of the world’s most liquid environmental markets, announced that it will co-host the Climate & Capital Conference with Gitterman Asset Management and Accenture on Wednesday, September 20, 2023, at the NYSE, coinciding with New York City’s Climate Week. The event will be livestreamed by Fintech.TV.

This year’s event is centered around three interconnected themes: adaptation, innovation, and regulation (“AIR”). Over the next decade, industry professionals will face increasing exposure to both known and emerging risks, including physical climate risk, biodiversity loss, large-scale human migration, and changing regulatory frameworks. Advances in environmental technologies and new ideas for improving the effectiveness of government policies are likely to shift the landscape still further.

The ICE Climate & Capital Conference will bring together industry leaders across the investment, business, and climate communities to discuss pertinent topics including strategies to align capital with climate commitments, approaches to engaging with corporate issuers on decarbonization strategies, and solutions to measure and manage climate risk and uncover opportunities.

“Capital markets will continue to play a critical role in financing decarbonization and the energy transition,” said Elizabeth King, President of Sustainable Finance & Chief Regulatory Officer, ICE. “We are excited to bring together industry leaders today at the second annual ICE Climate and Capital Conference to share the latest approaches to climate-related adaptation, innovation and regulation.”

Confirmed speakers include:

  • Elizabeth King, President, Sustainable Finance & Chief Regulatory Officer, ICE
  • David Craig, Co-Chair, Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures
  • Jeffrey Ubben, Founder & Managing Partner, Inclusive Capital Partners
  • Kamran Khan, Managing Director, Head of ESG for Asia Pacific, Deutsche Bank
  • Vrushali Gaud, Managing Director, Sustainability Services, Accenture
  • Eric Olson, Managing Director, North America Sustainability Services, Accenture
  • Marina Severinovsky, Head of Sustainability, North America, Schroders
  • Caroline Flammer, Professor of International and Public Affairs of Climate, Columbia University
  • Leslie Biddle, Senior Advisor, U.S. Department of Energy
  • Tanner Foust, NEOM McLaren Extreme E Driver

“As reducing emissions becomes more of a focus for companies and policymakers, the adaptation to new or growing hazards is a critical part of the net zero discussion,” said Jeff Gitterman, Partner, Gitterman Asset Management. “We are proud to return as a partner at the second annual ICE Climate and Capital Conference to highlight how companies can address emerging climate risks with the advancement of innovative environmental technologies.”

“This year’s ICE Climate and Capital Conference will add to the discussion around the growing need for data, transparency and disclosure standards,” said Eric Olson, Managing Director, North America Sustainability Services, Accenture. “Advances in technology present a great opportunity for lenders to help their clients transition to net zero while increasing business value.”
