When it comes to decarbonising the world - the scale of the challenge can feel overwhelming.

It’s going to need astronomical levels of capital, a reconfiguration of markets, and radical regulation. And it needs to happen fast. If you’re an investor trying to align portfolios with climate pathways as well as capture all of the opportunities that are out there related to the energy transition - it's a lot to think about.

In this edition of Fidelity Answers, Katie Constance, Head of Sustainability for European distribution, is joined by Gabriel Wilson-Otto, Head of Sustainable Investing Strategy, and Portfolio Managers Kris Atkinson and James Richards to discuss the practical steps investors can take, where the risks lie, and importantly where to look for those opportunities.

With additional contributions from Adrian Benedict and Nina Flitman.
