Financial institutions are paying greater attention to climate impact investing in response to the broader societal move towards a low-carbon society as well as the growing awareness of the financial risks associated with climate change, writes South Pole Group in a news release. Financial institutions will require metrics and models to make climate impact investing more attractive to investors.
Together with the Swedish business magazine Veckans Affärer, South Pole Group organised a summit to offer insights into how investors can measure and evaluate climate risk in investment portfolios and create fossil-free portfolios. The summit also explored the prospect of government regulations and transparency in the investment community.
