Building a Resilient Economy of the Future: Where Return, Impact & Risk Meet
What if the strongest returns of the next decades come from the companies that make our future liveable?
Investors for Climate (I4C) invites you to a Lisbon rooftop for an evening with two voices reshaping how we think about capital, risk and resilience.
🎙️ Talk by Julien Devaureix: "Facing Reality"
Author, strategy consultant and founder of Sismique, the leading French-language podcast on the transition. After 15+ years driving transformation for Club Med, Chanel, LVMH, Publicis and Burberry across Brazil, France and Hong Kong, Julien left it all in 2015 to investigate the systemic risks behind our exponential growth model. Author of Le monde change et on n'y comprend rien (the world changes and we don't get it), and Face au Réel (In Search of Reality), he will offer a systemic lens to help us ask better questions and make clearer investment choices.
