Despite the increasing urgency to act in the face of climate change, the rate of investing in solutions remains severely insufficient. The IPCC estimates that investments in renewable energy alone must double from the current level of $250B per year in order to meet annual global growth in electricity consumption and to decarbonize existing energy systems. Moreover, studies estimate that if no immediate action is taken, and temperatures increase by 2°C, the global GDP will fall 15% by 2100, if not sooner. This highlights the significant material risk that climate change poses to investors, and ultimately, the global economy.
The Climate Solutions Collaborative conducted a survey among a cohort of our advisor members to learn how climate risk is defined and reflected in client portfolios. It also looked at how (or if) advisors proactively communicate this risk to their clients.
During this convening, we will share the illuminating survey findings and engage in a dialogue among investors and their managers about how to effectively advance an understanding of climate risk to clients. Our premise is that with increased communication about the material risks of climate change, more investors will pursue opportunities for capital deployment in climate solutions.
