The urgency for action on the climate crisis continues to grow: July marked the 13th consecutive month that global average temperatures set new monthly records, and the 12th consecutive month of temperatures being 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The potential for even more record-breaking months ahead should underscore that climate change is a material risk to long-term value and must be factored into every investment decision. Investors must also encourage their portfolio companies to actively engage in the transition to a low carbon economy, ensuring that investments support a more sustainable and resilient future.
