Executive Education Webinars

For years, the 1.5 °C goal of the Paris Agreement has been the anchor of climate ambition, shaping global policy, corporate strategy, and investor expectations. Yet with emissions still rising and the carbon budget shrinking fast, many scientists now warn that staying within 1.5 °C may soon be out of reach.

What does this mean for finance and business leaders? Should strategies built for a 1.5 °C world be abandoned, adapted, or completely reimagined?

Join Lucie Tepla, Senior Affiliate Professor of Finance at INSEAD, for a thought-leadership webinar that explores how the 1.5 °C goal became central to climate action and what its shifting reality means for investors, companies, and regulators.

This session will cover:

• How disclosure frameworks and climate scenarios evolved around the 1.5 °C benchmark
• What new transition pathways could look like in a hotter, riskier future
• How leaders can respond with credible, forward-looking sustainability strategies

This webinar also offers a preview of the INSEAD Business Sustainability Programme, which will be held in Singapore for the first time from 30 March to 3 April 2026.

Experience how INSEAD equips leaders to drive systemic change and turn sustainability into long-term advantage.
