The Impact Revolution – it is going to happen sooner than you think

Lucrezia Reichlin, London Business School Professor of Economics and trustee of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation, is hosting this upcoming set of webinars focused on how we the business community – as regulators, consumers, corporates and investors – can play a role in making “Net Zero” a reality.
