Climate Change and the Just Transition: a Guide for Investor Action

Year Published
2018
2018
This is a guidance document that sets out how investors can pursue the goal of a “just transition” as part of their core operating practices, to align with the 2015 Paris Agreement. Aimed primarily at institutional investors, the guide draws on an international review of existing investor approaches and dialogues with investors. It offers five strategic key motivations and areas for investor action such as advocating for supportive policies and learning from best practices to provide a framework that can be applied both by individual institutions and through collaborative initiatives. The guide demonstrates that integrating these approaches mitigates investment risks and captures potential opportunities arising from an equitable and sustainable economic transition.
