En investor-survey fra investeringsselskabet Robeco konkluderer blandt andet, at 48 % af investorerne har eller planlægger at offentliggøre et netto-nul mål. Surveyen tager udgangspunkt i 300 institutionelle investorer fra hele verden, som tilsammen forvalter $27,4 billioner.
Derudover konkluderer undersøgelsen også at:
- 63 % af europæiske investorer er bekymrede for fremtidige politiske pres eller retssager, hvis de ikke inddrager klima og andre ESG-forhold i deres investeringsstrategi. Til sammenligning har 57 % af Asiatiske investorer samme frygt, og for Nordamerikanske investorer er det 47 %.
- 71 % af investorerne mener, at klima er centralt eller en betydelig faktor i deres investeringspolitik.
- 38 % af investorerne mener, at Paris-aftalens mål om at begrænse temperaturstigning til under 2°C stadig er muligt.
Lucian Peppelenbos, Climate & Biodiversity Strategist hos Robeco, udtaler: “But the road to net zero is not linear. The challenging energy markets of 2022 have triggered higher short-term exposure to oil and gas, as the benchmark weight of energy sectors increases. Still, we clearly see that investors are determined to follow through on their decarbonization goals. The survey indicates that in the coming years, investors will enhance the adoption of climate benchmarks and divestment from high-carbon assets. At the same time, investors are demonstrating increased awareness that things should not be treated in isolation.”
Og videre: “Climate action must take the wider impacts on nature and society into account. So, it’s no surprise that the survey shows how investors are attaching increased importance to biodiversity and the Just Transition. In the next few years, we will see strong investor action to integrate these topics into investment strategy, though many are clearly struggling with a lack of data and expertise in these areas. All in all, I believe we are close to reaching a tipping point for the mainstreaming of climate change, biodiversity and the Just Transition into investment strategy.”
