SILC Presents: A Discussion on Stranded Assets and Corporate Disclosure

The SILC Club is excited to announce an upcoming discussion on the topic of stranded assets in collaboration with Thomson Reuters and the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL).

Please join us as we discuss stranded assets and corporate disclosure of the possible hidden financial risks arising from climate change.

Speakers will include:

David Parham, Deputy Director of Research and Sector Analyst covering Non-Renewable Resources at the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board. David previously worked for Chevron, where he held roles in research and project design, and production operations.

Laura Devenney, Senior Associate on the Carbon Asset Risk Team at Ceres. Laura works with Ceres stakeholders to support dialogues and advance actions that prevent fossil fuel companies from wasting investor capital on developing high-cost, high-carbon reserves that may never be burned.

Cynthia Simon, Senior Manager—Investor Initiatives at CDP North America. Cynthia works with US and Canadian asset owners and investment managers on the use of CDP data and research in investment decisions and portfolio decarbonization.

"Severe weather events, such as hurricanes and fires continue to show the economic costs of climate change. At the same time, transformation of the economy to low or carbon-free energy also has its costs, even to the average investor saving for retirement. This is creating demands for relevant and reliable information for decision-making and new standards of disclosure.” - Shari Littan, Editor/Author for Thomson Reuters, and CISL US Ambassador
