The climate landscape has changed significantly over the past few decades. Greater awareness and technological progress have been accompanied by political headwinds, changing corporate narratives and a growing need to respond to the physical impacts of a changing climate.
EdenTree’s Head of Sustainable Investment Carlota Esguevillas is joined by CIO Charlie Thomas and Paul Simpson OBE, member of our Sustainable Investment Advisory Panel and co-founder and former CEO of Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), to explore how the climate agenda has evolved, where progress is being made and what this changing landscape means from an investment perspective.
In the discussion, they explore:
- Climate ambitions to implementation: how the climate conversation is evolving as attention shifts from long-term commitments towards the practical steps needed to deliver change.
- Climate resilience and adaptation: why the physical impacts of a changing climate are becoming increasingly important for companies, investors and supply chains, alongside the continued focus on reducing emissions.
- Innovation, investment and policy: the development of technologies including renewables, batteries and energy efficiency, the investment opportunities emerging around them, and the role regulation and policy support can play in helping newer solutions scale.
- The investment outlook: how investors can navigate a changing political and economic backdrop, from assessing climate-related opportunities to engaging with companies, and why electrification could remain an important long-term theme.
