Shaping the future of investment strategy

Executive summary

While the positioning of decision-makers on climate-related issues and the transition towards a more responsible society took a significant step forward in 2015, it was 2018 that saw the start of a new wave of action driven by citizens. The visible effects of climate change are supported by a number of reports demonstrating both the initial consequences for humankind and biodiversity, and highlighting the urgent need to take action. In this respect, the younger generation initiated a movement throughout Europe a few months ago, demanding a stronger position from political leaders and calling for concrete plans.

Avoiding the irreversible impacts and succeeding in our society’s transition to a low carbon society will require each and every one of us to become aware of the issues at hand, both individually and as part of the economy.
