Tim Harford, the FT columnist better known as the Undercover Economist, will consider how economics could solve the climate crisis.
Claer Barrett, the FT’s consumer editor, and Mary McDougall of the Investors’ Chronicle will question what ESG really means, and if it’s possible to invest in saving the planet.
