📹 Our CEO, Stephanie Pfeifer OBE sat down with CFA UK as part of its ‘investing for Tomorrow’s Environment” series. The series raises awareness of investment professionals in climate action, highlighting the crucial role of private finance in unlocking solutions to climate challenges. 🌍 Stephanie reflects on the landmark moments of COP28 but explains that vital financial details are yet to be confirmed. The hope is that this year’s conference offers vital clarity, as world leaders seek to agree a New Collective Qualified Goal on Climate Finance for developing countries. This certainty can empower developing countries to set their own ambitious climate transition plans, leveraging public sector funds and attracting private investment. 💡 Our resource on Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) explains the investor perspective: https://lnkd.in/eYn-_rt5 Watch the video: https://lnkd.in/edcpRN2n #Adaptation #Resilience #NCQG #ClimateFinance #COP29

Driving finance to the green infrastructure we need - to future-proof our economies, creating growth and energy security - doesn't come down to commitments. Capital will flow where it generates attractive risk-adjusted returns - fossil fuels continue to present such an opportunity over the short-term to the world’s financial institutions. Banks want to lend to commercially viable projects, irrespective of the seismic political shifts happening all around them. As the #WorldEconomicForum convenes this week in #Davos, I'm looking forward to sharing the work we've done at the Green Finance Institute to develop financial models to accelerate the green transition and how public private partnerships can be scaled to create investable opportunities globally.

"Green finance cannot be viewed as a cyclical trend," writes Dr Rhian-Mari Thomas OBE chief executive of the Green Finance Institute and chair of the National Wealth Fund Taskforce in an op ed for Sustainable Views. "Leading financial institutions have quit the world’s largest climate coalition and boardrooms are increasingly turning their attention to the opportunities presented by artificial intelligence, as though the need to redirect capital to achieve climate goals is last year’s fad," she says. "We are entering a new era of global politics and technological advancement with all its resulting unpredictability, but there are still prevailing certainties. The climate challenge remains existential, and the need for capital is significant." Read more below. #greenfinance #climatefinance #climatechange https://lnkd.in/eXjHVgkk

Paris-aligned investing: Active or passive? When it comes to the long-term challenge of addressing climate change, the algorithmic nature of passive funds’ investment processes can create the risk of over-simplification and short-termism. We think that an active approach is not only more effective, but essential for investors aiming to make real contributions towards achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. Here’s why: https://ow.ly/srsC50SRSmg Capital at risk.
