Global warming and the resulting climate change will affect investors’ behavior. Analysts came to this conclusion after interviewing financial and investment experts after the release of the UN report on the influence of human activities on the environment.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report sent a strong signal to investors that they should invest more quickly and more in green stocks. “The report shows that investors need to get started quickly to support companies related to the protection of the environment” the manager of advocacy in the field of investment, Chris Meyer, said. Companies must reconsider their commitments to tackle climate change and take action, says Fiona Reynolds, CEO of the Association for Responsible Investing.
