IPE Transition Conference & Awards 2025: The Transition to a Low Carbon Economy

The IPE Transition Conference & Awards 2025 - The Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy

Reaching global net-zero targets will require a far-reaching transformation of the energy system and substantial capital investment. Delivering this transition depends on close collaboration between financial markets, corporates, policymakers, and society at large to ensure it is both effective and equitable. According to the European Commission, meeting the green and digital transition objectives in Europe will require an estimated additional €735 billion per year by 2030.

As long-term investors responsible for the financial security of millions, pension funds are central to funding and supporting this shift.

The IPE Transition Conference & Awards 2025 takes a practical approach to exploring the transition to a low-carbon economy. It addresses the challenges and implications for institutional investors, regulation, and policy across asset classes. The day-long programme features expert insights and ends with an informal awards ceremony recognising excellence and innovation in the field.

11:30 AM – Turning Climate Science into Forward-Looking, Financially Material Insights
Rémy Estran, Founder & CEO, Scientific Climate Ratings

In this session, Rémy Estran will explore how investors can integrate forward-looking climate science into financial decision-making. Building on research from the EDHEC Climate Institute, the presentation introduces a methodology that combines asset-level damage functions, assessments of decarbonisation and resilience strategies powered by ClimaTech, and multi-scenario Net Asset Value projections. This approach delivers science-based, decision-useful ratings that enhance the financial relevance of climate risk analysis and support more informed capital allocation.

The conference concludes with an informal awards ceremony celebrating innovation and leadership in advancing the low-carbon transition.
