Since
2015, ahead of COP21 and the signature of the Paris agreement, governments and
regulators in many countries, soon followed by many banks and investors, became
cognizant of their place at the heart of global issues to achieve international
climate goals.
Through
many initiatives across the world, non-financial goals and disclosures
requirements are being strengthen by both regulators and investors to ensure
convergence of all actors and deeper understanding of the importance of global
warming and the required pace of change that need to occur to tackle global
ambitions.
Stan
Dupré, the Founder and Executive Director of 2° Investing Initiative, a
non-for-profit think tank working to align the financial sector with 2°C
climate goals, comments on those new helpful regulations and requirements and
discusses the crucial role and impact of retail investors in pushing forward
and accelerating these efforts, and the opportunities and obstacles faced
today.
