Institutional investors with over $1.5 trillion are loud and clear: "Ignore climate change, and we will come back with a vengeance." Climate is oblivious to your political views and your personal convictions. And those in charge of anticipating and mitigating risk are noticing. They just sent out an ultimatum to asset managers : 🔵Take the blue pill : stay in the realm of opinions and believe whatever you want to believe. Get dropped. 🔴Take the red pill : understand climate change is a long term risks and step up on climate action. Get financed. The split between institutional investors and asset managers is not anecdotal. The Financial Times reports that global group of 26 financial institutions and pension funds - like Scottish Widows or Brunel Pension Partnership Limited is starting to up the ante on climate action. Including by threatening to withdraw funds. 👇Link in comments "Ultimately, the material arguments for climate change rise above short term political challenges. A robust climate stewardship delivers value." says Leanne Clements from People's Partnership, the UK's largest workplace pensions providers. Pension funds will need to pay out retirements for decades: their perspective is way beyond political cycles. If you want to understand long term trends, they might be the ones whose signal you follow. Between the political and legal pressure, the financial threat, and the climate evidence, a massive tug of war is playing out behind the curtains. To shift the power balance back towards long term & science backed action, private investors must massively "vote with their wallet" and participate in capital markets. Like pension funds, they collectively control world-changing wealth. And their individual interest is the most aligned with real climate action. If you ever wondered what you would have done in Neo's stead, this is your moment. 🔵 Blue pill or 🔴 red pill ?
