Every year in January the World Economic Forum (WEF) publish their Global Risks Report, highlighting major risks measured on likelihood and disruptive impact.
The risks posed by climate change and nature-related challenges have not abated, with the urgency to act amplified by the more recent WEF 2022 Global Risks Report where climate action failure, extreme weather and biodiversity loss were ranked as the greatest threats to the global economy. Aligning capital allocation decisions to a decarbonised, resource efficient and inclusive world remains at the forefront of our investment thinking. The imperative for sustainable investing, in our view, has never been greater.
