Buyers and sellers of energy and infrastructure assets around the world are striving to balance financial returns with climate risk. 

Rajith Sebastian, Head of ESG for the New York State Insurance Fund and Sam Scroggins, Managing Director in Lazard’s Global Power, Energy & Infrastructure Group, approach many of the same issues on behalf of different stakeholders. Sebastian oversees how the $20 billion state fund can best invest for policyholders and the planet, while Scroggins advises clients on big-ticket deals with complex environmental implications. 

In conversation with Reuters ESG Correspondent Isla Binnie, Sebastian and Scroggins will explore how the risks of physical climate shocks and changing energy policy are influencing where and how capital gets allocated, and what this means for the transition to a low-carbon economy.
