MSCI gennemgår i en ny artikel, hvordan investorer kan handle på den nyligt udkomne klimarapport fra IPCC.
Sylvain Vanston, MSCI’s executive director for climate change research, udtaler: “The latest IPCC report tells us that society has both the opportunity and the money we need to stave off the worst climate risks, but that doing so will take action at pace and breadth we’ve yet to see.”
Ifølge Vanston skal investorer øge deres klimainvesteringer betydeligt de kommende år. Samtidig skal regeringer levere lovgivning, som bidrager til at forbedre mulighederne for afkast på klimainvesteringer.
Vanston oplyser desuden: ”Only if we reduce global carbon emissions by nearly 50% this decade from 2019 levels, which of course is an extremely tall order. Otherwise, projected emissions from existing fossil-fuel infrastructure alone would burn through the remaining global carbon budget for keeping warming within 1.5°C by the early 2030s. Limiting warming means much more investment in renewable energy, carbon capture and storage that reduce emissions on the supply side, together with electrifying everything that can be electrified, greening of buildings, and sustainable agriculture, aviation, shipping, land use and production that can drive down emissions on the demand side. That’s not the case right now. The IPCC notes that more public and private money still flows to fossil fuels than to climate adaptation and mitigation. The current energy crisis increased fossil subsidies.”
