Briefing
Laying the Track: The Race to Zero – The role of asset managers in tackling the climate crisis
The first in our new series of COP 26 briefings for policymakers, this briefing sets out key issues on how the asset management industry is responding to the climate crisis.
It aims to shine an independent spotlight on the state of play in the industry and sets out how policymakers should regulate to move investors in the right direction. The picture that emerges, while indicating a rising awareness of climate change as a financial risk, falls well short of what is needed to achieve net zero by 2050.
