COP29 report
This year’s climate summit in Baku will play a crucial role in charting the future of climate finance. While mitigating the extent of climate change remains the overriding priority at COP29, the reality is that many impacts are now irreversible – meaning that adaptation is an increasingly important focus. In this special report, we explore how investors can contribute to adaptation efforts as the world comes to terms with new climate realities.
ESG in APAC report
No region will play a more important role in determining the Earth’s future than APAC. It is home to around 60 percent of the world’s population and accounts for more than half of all greenhouse gas emissions. In this special report, we ask if Asia can become a leader in ESG and whether transition bonds can conquer regional markets. We also take a deep dive into India and explore why ESG strategies are failing to gain traction in the world’s most populated country.
Biodiversity report
As the chilling extent of threats to nature becomes impossible to ignore, investors increasingly believe they can and must be part of the solution. In this report, we assess whether the TNFD is on track to gather sufficient signatories; take a closer look at APAC’s most eager proponent of biodiversity safeguards, Japan; and analyse an innovative financial lever that can be adopted to foster conservation, debt-for-nature swaps; plus lots more besides.
ESG Data & Disclosure report
Responsible Investor’s Data & Disclosure report explores some of the major dilemmas facing investors as they seek to plot their course to achieving net zero, contribute to other ESG goals, and comply with a growing body of regulation. With the much-discussed goal of standardising ESG data now at a critical crossroads, we look into the role of the ISSB in creating a global baseline. We also delve into some of the key climate metrics being used by investors, and ask how social data can be improved.
COP28 Investors & Climate Report
Responsible Investor’s COP28 report delves into some of the key issues for investors as the world approaches a climate tipping point. With the goal of limiting temperature rises to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels in peril, we look at how investor approaches to climate engagement are evolving. We also look into how COP’s focus is broadening to include issues such as nature and water risks linked to climate change.
