We have a problem

The 10 warmest years on record have all occurred since 2010

Global surface temperature have been rising steadily in recent decades. Looking at data spanning 1880-2022, we can see how much warmer or cooler each year was relative to the average temperature between 1951-1980, with blue indicating cooler temperatures and red showing warmer years.

Aligning an investment fund to Paris Agreement

We believe the most effective way to align an equity fund with the goals of the Paris Agreement is by taking a company-specific approach, where we consider the real-world climate impacts of investee companies, and the actions they are taking, rather than solely focusing on portfolio-level metrics. In particular, we look for companies taking positive climate action, either to reduce their own emissions or by providing solutions for others to do so.

Are we on track?

We assess that further climate adaptation is essential, according to our internal SDG scorecard.

SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy

Metric: Share of renewables in electricity production.

Our internal SDG scorecard asses that we score now 5/10 for SDG 7, Affordable and Clean Energy. With 91% of the global population now having access to electricity, we have seen solid progress since 2015. However, the overall share of renewable energy in total energy consumption has only increased from 16.1% in 2010 to 17.7% in 2021.
 

SDG 13: Climate Action

Metric: Annual contribution towards mobilizing at least US$100 billion per year by 2020.

For the second year in a row we score 3/10 for SDG 13, Climate Action. The world is experiencing increasingly frequent extreme weather events, from heatwaves and wildfires to floods and storms. Signs of progress, however, are emerging: 118 countries have reported the adoption of national disaster risk reduction strategies aligned with the SDGs, up from 44 in 2015.
