Nov 20 - Panel Discussion: Decarbonization in Private Markets

On Thursday, November 20, the Economic Development Group at NYU Stern proudly hosted its final professional event of the academic year: a panel discussion on decarbonization in private markets. The event drew record student attendance, reflecting an extraordinary level of interest from Stern students eager to deepen their understanding of private equity, consulting, and the role of private capital in addressing global challenges.

The panel featured distinguished practitioners working at the intersection of finance, sustainability, and advisory services, including Jake Lipton of Anthesis Group and Emily Perry of KKR, who offered candid insights into how private markets are shaping the low-carbon transition. Their discussion explored both the strategic and practical realities of deploying capital for long-term impact while maintaining commercial discipline.

EDG extends its sincere gratitude to the NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business for its collaboration on this event. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to rigorous inquiry at the intersection of finance, sustainability, and global impact, and continues a longstanding relationship that has enriched the Stern community. EDG looks forward to building on this collaboration in the years ahead, advancing thoughtful dialogue and meaningful engagement across private markets, consulting, and sustainable development.
