And yet at the same time, investment opportunities abound in pursuing the solutions to this crisis – climate change mitigation and the accelerated transition to a low-carbon economy. Investors who invest in clean energy technology such as renewable energy, energy storage, and electric vehicles are being rewarded for their foresight, while companies that prioritize sustainability are performing better over the long term. It is clear that climate change and our response to it present both perilous risks and boundless opportunities, and investors have a fiduciary duty to evaluate them both. With immense power and influence in our global economy, investors have a tremendous opportunity – and dare I say, a tremendous responsibility – to take action. These groups have mobilized investors to make significant strides on tackling climate change.
