#Investcorp’s Climate Solutions team has published a new report titled “The Other Sea Change,” which makes the case for climate change being the most important and profound investment shift of the next several decades, posing enormous opportunity for well positioned companies and the potential for enormous risk to holdings on the wrong side of warming and weather trends.
