OVERALL FUNCTION
Investors represent a powerful force in accelerating the shift to a more sustainable and resilient economy. As political cycles present unexpected changes globally, investors remain influential in the flow of trillions of dollars. To stay competitive, investors seek to minimize physical risks associated with climate change, find investment opportunities in a low-carbon economy, and are still willing to use their influence to drive change at carbon-intensive companies – all in service of a more resilient future.
Our vision is that by 2030, leading investors will be competing for climate leadership and using their influence and capital to drive change across carbon-intensive industries and scale investment in low carbon solutions.
