Climate Alliances Under Pressure: Climate Fellow at Harvard Explains the Pullback

In this thought-provoking conversation, Matteo Gasparini, climate fellow at Harvard Business School’s Institute for Business in Global Society, explores the role of climate business alliances in global finance. Amid rising political resistance, antitrust allegations, and changing regulatory landscapes, do these alliances still serve a purpose?

Key takeaways
– Political and legal pressures are causing institutions to retreat from collective climate action.
– Despite setbacks, alliances improve sustainability practices and disclosure norms.
– The most effective alliances are CEO-led, narrowly focused, and well-resourced.
– Legal claims of antitrust violations remain largely unsubstantiated in the data.
