Report Summary

THEMATIC CHAPTER: Climate change has moved to the top of the agenda as one of the most important long-term risks (and opportunities) facing investors. But greenhouse gases are far from the sole sustainable development challenges with massive economic impacts. Closely related issues such as growing water scarcity and diminishing natural resources and commodities are similarly salient realities with huge socio-economic impacts. As a society, we are increasingly grappling with the issue of whether and how we can continue to grow economically in light of these challenges. A massive change in behavior is inevitable and new technologies will play a key role. Companies developing clean technologies (“clean tech”), such as renewable energy technology, energy efficiency, water technology, and carbon reduction technology players will have a clear and fast growing role to play as part of this solution and investors need to be looking towards them as part of their long-term growth strategies.
