The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report concluded, once again, that unless there are immediate, rapid and large-scale reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, limiting warming to close to 1.5°C or even 2°C in the next few decades will be beyond reach. Climate scientists continue to warn that structural changes in our economy are needed to mitigate the greatest harms of climate change. Meaningful policy changes are the most important strategy to address this, but the role of sustainable investing is also key.
Zevin Asset Management Joins 2022 Global Investor Statement to Governments on the Climate Crisis Ahead of COP27
Zevin Asset Management joins over 600 investors, representing almost USD $42 trillion in assets under management, in signing the 2022 Global Investor Statement to Governments on the Climate Crisis. We urge governments to radically raise their climate ambitions ahead of COP27 this November, which will provide a crucial opportunity for governments to step up their climate commitments and focus their attention on adopting and implementing policies to enable large scale zero-emissions and climate-resilient investments.
Pressure and support from the investor community are necessary to achieving the goals outlined in the Paris Agreement — and we are stepping up to the challenge. Zevin Asset Management is committed to influencing corporate behavior and creating more sustainable outcomes through shareholder advocacy, public policy action, and proxy voting.
