In this episode, Toby Belsom, Director of Guidance and Reporting at the PRI, is joined by James Alexander, CEO of UKSIF and Chair of the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance, and Mette Charles, ESG Research Lead at Aon Investment Consultants.Drawing on insights from the latest PRI reporting cycle, the largest ever, with over 4,200 signatories participating, the conversation explores what the data reveals about investor commitments, implementation challenges and emerging priorities across the responsible investment landscape.Together, they unpack how investors are navigating geopolitical shifts, regulatory divergence and systemic risks while translating sustainability commitments into meaningful action.OverviewThe latest PRI reporting data highlights five key themes:Reporting still matters, even amid political turbulenceClimate remains the dominant focus across signatoriesGlobal agreements such as the Paris Agreement continue to shape frameworksTranslating commitments into action remains challenging“Value creation” is increasingly used to justify sustainability activityThe discussion reflects on how these trends are playing out across regions and what they mean for asset owners and managers.Detailed coverageClimate remains kingClimate continues to dominate investor priorities, driven by financial materiality and systemic risk. Progress is uneven, and asset owners face constraints linked to policy uncertainty and limited investable opportunities.Global agreements and policy divergenceWhile some governments are stepping back from global commitments, many investors remain anchored to frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and standards like the ISSB. The episode explores tensions created by fragmented regulation.From commitments to meaningful actionMoving from commitments to real-world impact remains difficult. Barriers include data gaps, short-term incentives, regulatory inconsistency and limited scalable opportunities.Emerging themes: nature, AI and physical riskNature-related risk is rising up the agenda, though methodologies remain complex. The discussion also touches on AI-related ESG risks and growing physical climate risk.Human rights and social riskModern slavery, working conditions and gig economy risks remain key issues, with supply chain transparency a continuing challenge.Regional contrastsEurope is reassessing regulation, the US is navigating political shifts, while Japan and Australia are advancing disclosure and fiduciary guidance.Asset owner powerAsset owners, as long-term capital providers exposed to systemic risks, are positioned to shape markets and align sustainability with value creation.To find out more about PRI reporting data, visit our blog.Chapters00:00 – Introduction: insights from PRI reporting data01:25 – Five key themes from the latest reporting cycle06:26 – Global agreements, geopolitics and investor confidence10:07 – Climate leadership, ambition and data challenges13:13 – Nature, AI and emerging ESG priorities15:52 – Barriers to turning commitments into action20:28 – Regional divergence and regulatory shifts25:09 – Asset owners vs managers: alignment and tension26:51 – Human rights, modern slavery and social risk29:44 – Reflections and hopes for 2026DisclaimerThis podcast and material referenced herein is provided for information only.

Hear from Julie Calkins, Director of Sustainability Strategy at Generation Investment Management, as we explore how interconnected risks spanning climate, nature, inequality and AI challenge traditional approaches to risk and return. In investing, we spend a lot of time debating alpha — what gives one portfolio an edge over another. But increasingly, the bigger question is about beta, and the underlying conditions that make any returns possible in the first place. And here we can think about a stable climate, nature as infrastructure and even social cohesion and functioning institutions. Because when those foundations erode, risk stops looking like a set of isolated exposures, and starts to look like something deeper – perhaps systemic instability, cascading impacts, and rising uncertainty that no single firm can diversify away. That's why in this episode we explore: · Why some investors are starting to think more seriously about "protecting the beta", and what that means for portfolio risk and long-term resilience; · How nature risk, climate risk, and inequality interact — with inequality not only as an outcome of shocks, but as a potential driver of fragility and political instability; · And the tools that can help risk professionals make complex, interconnected risks more legible from scenario modelling to frameworks that build a shared language inside organisations. ---------------- To find out more about the Sustainability and Climate Risk (SCR®) Certificate, follow this link: https://www.garp.org/scr For more information on climate risk, visit GARP's Global Sustainability and Climate Risk Resource Centre: https://www.garp.org/sustainability-climate If you have any questions, thoughts, or feedback regarding this podcast series, we would love to hear from you at: climateriskpodcast@garp.com ------------------ Speaker's Bio Julie Calkins, Director of Sustainability Strategy at Generation Investment Management Julie Calkins serves as the Director of Sustainability Strategy at Generation Investment Management since April 2022.

"This was not a short squeeze rally... This was real, honest-to-goodness, new money buyers coming in," says veteran trader Bert Dohmen. As silver surges nearly 90% for its best year since 1980, the legendary analyst who called the 1987 crash, the dot-com bust, and the 2008 meltdown is sounding his loudest alarm in 49 years. In today's interview, Dohmen warns this is the "currency flight" trade made manifest—a global rush away from depreciating paper into the only real money you can hold. As central banks engage in what he calls "blatant lies" about tightening while money supply hits record highs, Dohmen argues the systemic risk now surpasses 1929.Learn more from Bert Dohmen at:https://www.Dohmencapital.com/ITM✅ FREE RESOURCESDownload The Private Wealth Playbook — a data-backed guide to strategically acquiring gold and silver for maximum protection, privacy, and performance.

Mining Stock Daily welcomes Michael Green to delve into the broken equity structure and its profound implications for the metals and miners audience. Green outlines his serious concerns regarding the explosive growth of passive investing, estimating that north of 50% of the total market capitalization is now contained within passive vehicles. This structural change creates a passive mandate bias toward large-cap concentration, which specifically distorts the valuations and liquidity of smaller cap resource and precious metals stocks. He illustrates how incremental passive flows disproportionately magnify the price impact on the largest stocks while shrinking buy orders for smaller index components, creating a momentum reinforcement vehicle that exacerbates market bifurcation. The discussion also covers the dangers of highly leveraged instruments like 2x-3x ETFs and the motivations behind their creation, which often caters to speculative demand rather than thoughtful investment policy. Finally, Green links current financial behavior and political inaction to historical cycles, drawing an analogy between the contemporary failure of American systems and the collapse of the Roman Republic, suggesting the current gold rally may signal a flight from systemic risk rather than just inflation.Inquire more about the MSD discount for to Mike's Substack HEREThis episode of Mining Stock Daily is brought to you by...

Hear from Dr. Ajay Gambhir, Director of Systemic Risk Assessment at ASRA, as we reconsider systemic risk in an increasingly interconnected world. When we think about climate risk, it's easy to focus on individual threats - rising sea levels, extreme weather events, or biodiversity loss. But in reality, these risks are part of a larger, interconnected web of crises. Climate change interacts with geopolitical tensions, pandemics, food insecurity, and energy shocks, often creating feedback loops that can strain or even break the systems we depend on. That's why in this episode, we explore the concept of the “polycrisis,” including: · Why understanding the connections between risks is key to managing them; · How a new systemic risk framework can reveal vulnerabilities across critical systems like food, energy, and health; · And why addressing inequality is essential if we want to strengthen resilience and meet climate and sustainability goals.

Private credit, or loans by non-bank lenders, has grown rapidly in recent years. This lending is even approaching the volume of some traditional sources of business credit, like bank loans. As the rise of private credit funds changes the way companies borrow money, it's also creating potential implications for financial stability. John Levin is a senior markets specialist in the Supervision, Regulation & Credit Department at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. He is the co-author of two studies examining the rise of private credit: “Could the Growth of Private Credit Pose a Risk to Financial System Stability?" and "Bank Lending to Private Equity and Private Credit Funds: Insights from Regulatory Data."

In this podcast interview, Mike McLean, a senior commodity strategist for Bloomberg Intelligence, offers a nuanced perspective on current economic trends, focusing on potential deflationary forces and market corrections. McLean argues that commodities are experiencing a significant downturn, with crude oil down 9% and grains down 16% for the year, primarily due to their previous inflationary peaks in 2022. McLean anticipates a potential market correction, particularly in the U.S. stock market, which he believes is overvalued and approaching a critical point of reversion. He highlights historical parallels with market peaks in 1929 and 1989, suggesting that the current market conditions share similar characteristics of excessive valuation and speculative sentiment. Gold and U.S. Treasury bonds are McLean's preferred assets for the remainder of the year. He notes that gold ETF holdings are up 10% this year, after four consecutive years of decline, and predicts gold could reach $4,000 per ounce. Central bank buying and a potential stock market pullback could further drive gold's performance. The interview also explores the potential impact of tariffs, particularly on industrial metals like copper, and the changing dynamics of global trade. McLean argues that the U.S. is reshaping international trade relationships, which could pressure corporate profits and contribute to market volatility. Regarding cryptocurrencies, McLean is cautious, viewing them as highly correlated with the stock market and potentially vulnerable to a correction. He suggests that the proliferation of stablecoins represents a more practical application of blockchain technology for financial transactions. McLean's overall thesis centers on the cyclical nature of markets, emphasizing that periods of inflation are typically followed by deflationary corrections. He warns investors to be wary of consensus thinking and to pay attention to historical patterns and market signals that suggest a potential downturn. The interview concludes with a reminder that market psychology and sentiment are crucial indicators of potential market movements, and that extreme optimism often precedes significant corrections.

Tech Policy Press Associate Editor Ramsha Jahangir hosts a roundtable discussion on the first systemic risk assessments and independent audit reports from Very Large Online Platforms and Search Engines produced in compliance with the European Union's Digital Services Act. Ramsha is joined by:Hillary Ross, program lead at the Global Network Initiative (GNI);Magdalena Jozwiak, associate researcher at the DSA Observatory; andSvea Windwehr, the assistant director of EU policy at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
One of the most significant concepts in Europe's Digital Services Act is that of “systemic risk,” which relates to the spread of illegal content, or content that might have foreseeable negative effects on the exercise of fundamental rights or on on civic discourse, electoral processes, public security and so forth. The DSA requires companies to carry out risk assessments to detail whether they are adequately addressing such risks on their platforms. What exactly amounts to systemic risk and how exactly to go about assessing it is still up in the air in these early days of the DSA's implementation. In today's episode, Tech Policy Press Staff Writer Gabby Miller speaks with three experts involved in conversations to try and get to best practices:Jason Pielemeier, Executive Director of the Global Network Initiative;David Sullivan, Executive Director of the Digital Trust & Safety Partnership; andChantal Joris, Senior Legal Officer at Article 19

Chapter 1:Summary of Too Big To Fail Book"Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System—And Themselves" is a non-fiction book by Andrew Ross Sorkin, first published in 2009. It provides an in-depth, behind-the-scenes account of the 2008 financial crisis, particularly focusing on the events that led to the collapse of major financial institutions and the subsequent government interventions.The book's title, "Too Big to Fail," refers to a business theory that certain corporations, particularly financial institutions, are so large and interconnected that their failure would be disastrous to the greater economic system. Therefore, they must be supported by the government when they face potential failure.Andrew Ross Sorkin, a financial journalist, uses his extensive access to key players in politics, finance, and academia to weave together a detailed and dramatic narrative. He takes the reader into the meeting rooms, boardrooms, and offices where decisions were made, capturing the tense atmosphere and the complex interplay of personalities and interests.Key figures in the book include U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, and various high-level executives from Wall Street's top firms, such as Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and Goldman Sachs. The book details the struggle to save Lehman Brothers, the controversial bailout of AIG, and the consolidation and rearrangement of major financial institutions during the crisis."Too Big to Fail" also touches upon the roles of key regulatory frameworks, the flawed decisions by executives that led to risky financial practices, and the chain reaction set off by falling real estate prices and the implosion of the subprime mortgage market.Overall, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms of the crisis, offering insights into the challenges and decisions faced by leaders, and illustrating the grave impacts on the global economy when major financial systems falter. "Too Big to Fail" is considered a definitive work on the 2008 financial crisis, appreciated for bringing clarity to a complex series of events that affected millions globally.Chapter 2:the theme of Too Big To Fail Book"Too Big to Fail: The Inside Story of How Wall Street and Washington Fought to Save the Financial System—and Themselves" by Andrew Ross Sorkin is a non-fiction book that documents the events that led up to the financial crisis in 2008.

Tom welcomes back New York Times bestselling author, CNBC contributor, and Political Risk Expert Larry McDonald. Larry discussed the impact of political decisions on the U.S. economy and markets. He highlights the concerning trend of deficit spending relative to GDP, revealing that it cost the U.S. $834 billion to grow the GDP by $334 billion in the last quarter of 2023. He predicts a continued focus on short-term economic growth by politicians to retain power, leading to an inflationary economic environment. McDonald also discussed the potential implications for banks with commercial real estate holdings, emphasizing the need for Federal Reserve intervention as the market faces a significant downturn. He warned of a potential economic crisis if the Fed raises interest rates, putting stress on both banks and consumers. McDonald shares his insights on an impending energy crisis around 2025-2026. He attributes this coming crisis to factors such as population growth, improved living standards in developing nations, and inadequate capital investments in energy resources. He underscores the impact of geopolitical tensions and climate change on supply chains and inflation, shaping a shift towards a multipolar world order. McDonald suggests that these changes will influence the performance of precious metals, with potential disruptions creating opportunities for investors. He also emphasizes the importance of addressing sustainability concerns, noting that progress in this area may be slower than anticipated. McDonald's forthcoming book, set to be released in March, delves deeper into these pressing issues.

The fallout 2008 financial crisis has been portrayed on film in a number of ways; from documentary's like Iniside Job (2010) and Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) to ficiton films "inspired" by the events like The Big Short (2015) and Margin Call (2011). Andrew Dominik's Killing Them Softly (2012) takes a different approach. It starts with George V. Higgins' 1974 crime novel, itself the third in a series, that centers on a lower level crime syndicate in Boston. Then Dominik places that story in a 2008 New Orleans during the final weeks of the Obama/McCain presidential election. We get into the obvious metaphors that occur when organized crime is compared to financial institutions. But, we also end up discussing the various ways that Nationalism can manifest itself in America; from George W. Bush, to Obama, to Trump and Biden. We'll be dipping our toes back into this Systemic Risk topic, the intersection of the 2008 crisis and it's portrayal on film.

Is there any way out of this vicious cycle?Join us for a conversation with Jeb Hensarling, former chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and Jelena McWilliams, former chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, as they discuss the bank failures, the federal government's response, and a path forward for banking regulation.

Their assignment: debate the world of business and economics. Paul Samuelson was a towering figure in Keynesian economics, which supported the management of the economy along lines prescribed by John Maynard Keynes's General Theory. Milton Friedman, little known at that time outside of conservative academic circles, championed “monetarism” and insisted the Federal Reserve maintain tight control over the amount of money circulating in the economy.

On March 8th 2022, Nickel prices spiked 100% to $100,000 a tonne in a matter of hours, triggering billions of dollars in margin calls and threatening the very existence of the exchange. The LME took the unprecedented, and controversial, step of cancelling all trades made that day. A decision which enraged some but saved the exchange and the shorts, creating a cascade of legal battles continuing to this day (we recorded this episode prior to the UK's FCA announcing an official investigation into misconduct). What started the crisis? Who was Mr Big Shot? What were the events that surrounded the run up in prices and how did it unravel the structure of the LME? Did the LME pose a systemic risk? What has been the fall out? Our guest is Jack Farchy, Senior Correspondent for Commodities at Bloomberg, who takes us through the crisis.
