The sharp rise in global aridity in recent decades tends to get ignored in the US but climate-driven migration will bring that problem to our doorstep.

There’s palpable sense of frustration and fatalism running through US politics at present. Why? How does the Well-Being of Young Adults Compare to Their Parents’? Not great.

The DOE’s LNG export report has good news and bad news. Good news is the US has enough gas supply to meet both domestic & exports under all scenarios. The bad news is greater exports mean higher domestic gas prices and less energy security as the US is effectively keeping LNG prices down for China even as the Chinese work to strand those US LNG export assets. The remaining concerns feel moot in the current political environment but rising exports will also mean significant increases in GHG emissions as well as negative environmental and community impacts.

However, there is still some good news on low-carbon alternatives developing to limit the need for natural gas – nuclear and geothermal. On nuclear, at present, the question is who is going to win? SMRs or traditional nuclear? The answer is probably both but one will hit scale faster and I expect it will be traditional nuclear. A great flag from Andy Lubershane.

As for geothermal, a relatively short note from the IEA on geothermal as a reminder that, despite the relatively nascent state of development, the US is a market leader of sorts and if you want to review the space then this is a helpful spin by Canary Media through the key players while the DOE's Geothermal Power Commercial Liftoff paper from earlier this year if you want to dive deeper.

Take a few minutes to scroll through the graphics on sea level rise on the US Atlantic Coast: The Drowning South. Melting ice, sinking land, and warming oceans are all contributing to overall sea-level rise but it’s the uneven impacts driven by nonintuitive factors that are surprising and leading to many more (50-170) high-tide flood days from Galveston to Boston in the 2050s.

For those of you drifting off into the holidays, some light reading about doomsday… The Hideaway.

As we approach a critical juncture in American politics and economics, it’s imperative to confront the stark realities of what another Trump term could mean for our communities and businesses. This event will dive deep into a comprehensive forecast of the potential impact of his policies and governance, drawing from his previous term's track record and emerging trends:

A Threat to Democracy: constitutional and institutional integrity.

Humanitarian Crisis: reflecting the disastrous scale of mismanagement witnessed during COVID-19, where 1 million Americans died.

Economic Devastation for Black-Owned Businesses: During his previous term, Black businesses fell by 41%. We detail another potential decline.

Unchecked Greed and Corruption: track record of unethical behavior and self-enrichment.

Dangerous Global Agenda: may ignite a major international conflict.

This is an updated version of the webinar we presented on December 26, 2016:

"An increase of nearly 50% in global LNG export capacity is on the horizon, led by the US & Qatar, but the prices that many suppliers need to recover their investments may not entice developing economies to switch to natural gas at scale: something has to give." IEA WEO 2024 

"We are calling on companies to disclose their environmental data"

"Our Non-Disclosure+ Campaign seeks to make significant strides in tackling non-disclosure of environmental indicators in some of the world’s largest corporations. With the combined weight of our collective assets behind it and the size of the target companies, we believe this campaign can create positive impact for sustainability at a market-level."

The Environment is not just a carbon issue.

"Reducing carbon emissions remains at the forefront of corporate environmental agendas. But carbon emissions should not be the sole indicator of environmental efficiency. Our research demonstrates that a comprehensive approach to addressing the corporate environmental balance sheet – which considers carbon, water and waste – will leave investors less exposed to a broader range of both current and future externality risks."

Introducing MSCI’s Sustainability and Climate Trends to Watch 2025

In a world that feels ever more uncertain, investors everywhere are looking for information that can give them an edge. Study after study shows that sustainability data can help identify more competitive, more profitable, less risky companies with higher long-term returns and a lower cost of capital.

The latter half of this decade will bring profound shifts, driven by geopolitics, disruptive technology breakthroughs and environmental challenges. Investors will need to contend with the sweeping effects of the energy transition on users and suppliers of energy, the escalating impact of climate-related events and new risks associated with the widespread adoption of AI across every sector of the economy.

Such unprecedented change brings unprecedented opportunity. The energy system transformation presents one of the most significant investment prospects of our time, with strong returns anticipated by many investors in low-carbon energy, green transportation and energy-storage solutions, especially in private markets

ISF: Are investors liking corporate Canada’s ESG tweets?

New research published by the Institute for Sustainable Finance finds that there is a mismatch between Canadian companies’ positive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) messaging on social media, their actual environmental performance, and their cost of capital.

The study is summarized in an ISF white paper by Dhruv Baswal, a PhD candidate at Smith School of Business, Queen’s University, and his supervisor Dr. Sean Cleary, a professor of finance at Smith, titled “Are investors liking corporate Canada’s ESG tweets? An analysis of Environmental, Social and Governance messaging on social media and cost of capital.”

"We put out the world’s first public price forecast for CORSIA!* In it we analyzed the potential demand, supply and prices for credits under CORSIA, and how much the scheme could cost the airline industry in terms of higher ticket prices or lower profits. In this episode we explore the reports findings from one of its main authors. Enjoy!

*Based on review of publicly available carbon credit research and ratings providers, as of Nov. 1, 2024."

"Voluntary purchases of carbon credits can play an essential role in helping companies and investors reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with climate commitments and serve as a key mechanism for funding the transition to a cleaner, more resilient economy globally.

Our guide examines the essentials of carbon markets – how they work, their governance and the latest developments – to help capital-markets participants navigate this critical aspect of climate-finance.

The guide offers insight to help you:

- Navigate the global landscape for emissions trading
- Understand the ecosystem for carbon credits and the voluntary market
- Assess the fundamentals of carbon-credit quality
 -Identify carbon credits that can advance your strategy"

Three years after climate tech investing’s peak, investors and start-ups are finding it ever tougher to make deals. In the 12 months through September 2024, capital flows and transaction volume continued to trend downwards, dropping below levels recorded in 2019, before the market had taken off.

Yet the past year also brought opportunities for savvy investors. Climate tech investment held up strongly in the United States, buoyed by the Inflation Reduction Act and other policy measures. Start-ups operating in the energy sector increased their share of climate tech funding.

And AI-centred climate ventures raised US$1 billion more in the first three quarters of 2024 than they did in all of 2023, as investors recognised AI’s power to drive productivity and efficiency improvements of all kinds. Technology for climate adaptation and resilience stood out as a theme, featuring in more than one-quarter (28%) of climate tech deals.

New analysis also highlights the role that big companies are playing as climate tech investors. Their venture capital funds and other investment units have participated in about a quarter of climate tech deals for several years running.

What’s more, bigger firms tend to get involved in mid-stage and late-stage deals, a key to helping climate ventures reach scale. In sectors in which climate tech start-ups attract relatively little funding—industrials, food and agriculture, and the built environment—large, established companies could help drive the innovation that’s needed to reach global emissions targets. 

"In this report we follow this transformation to show you how capital is flowing into climate solutions – who’s raising funds, where capital is concentrated, and what it means for players across the climate tech ecosystem.

We’ll do this by tracing:
• The state of climate funds – the capital raised to invest in climate tech.  We’ll look at fundraising trends to better understand sentiment and momentum around climate tech. We’ll break it down further to get a sense of where investor interest lies – is it in moonshots, or in plain-old solar?
• Dry Powder – the undeployed capital looking for the right opportunity. We’ll explore how much capital is ready-to-go, and whether that capital is for early or late-stage climate solutions.
• The Climate Capital Stack – those who have raised the funds and want to put it to work. We’ll outline the types of capital available, at what stage, and from whom – the layers of the Stack. We’ll profile the players, the products they offer, and what gets them jazzed about a deal."

"In this edition of NordSIP’s Article 9 Fund Review, we dive into the key trends shaping sustainable investments during the third quarter of 2024."

This report assesses the European climate-related and ESG fund market in the context of the incoming European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) fund naming guidelines and existing Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR).

It finds that 60% of funds identified as using climate-related terms in their naming do not disclose under SFDR Article 9, the category designated for funds with a primary sustainability objective.

The research also finds that 33% of assessed climate-related and ESG equity funds have higher levels of fossil fuel investment than green investment, and that 89% of these funds have portfolios misaligned with the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario.

This paper explores the pivotal and connected roles that electric power and hydrogen can play in achieving the environmental, security and economic objectives of the energy transition, concentrating on green hydrogen (H2) produced from renewable wind and solar power.

It also draws on experience from the electricity sector for possible guidance on technological innovation, business models and governmental policy to support the development of green H2 and of the green products that derive from it, such as green steel.

The focus is on the European Union (EU), although we also refer to global targets and relevant experience in the UK, US and elsewhere.

▪ Geothermal energy provides clean electricity 24/7 and could play an important role in achieving a 100 percent clean grid that is cost-effective and reliable.
▪ Next-generation geothermal technologies, which are in various stages of development, hold potential for widespread deployment across the United States and globally if cost reduction trends continue.
▪ Whereas conventional geothermal facilities drill to reach natural underground hot water reservoirs to generate energy, next-generation geothermal technologies drill into hot rocks without sufficient naturally occurring fluid or permeability.
▪ Some of these next-generation geothermal technologies use advanced drilling techniques borrowed from the oil and gas industry, but with key differences that lower the environmental risk profile.
▪ To commercialize next-generation geothermal, it will be necessary to further develop new technologies and techniques, proactively address potential environmental risks, and overcome key barriers such as high up-front financing needs and a lengthy permitting process.

Transition Plans as a Gateway to Transition Finance Transition finance is essential for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. It has emerged as a key area for regulators, investors and entities aiming to channel funds to decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors on a large scale. 

Transition finance hinges on the disclosure and evaluation of companies’ climate-related targets and transition plans. Regulatory developments, such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) principles, are likely to mandate transition plan disclosures soon in various jurisdictions.

Guidance on transition plans is expanding, with frameworks like the Transition Planning Taskforce being integrated into ISSB standards. Investors and financial institutions are also demanding robust transition plans, linking investment and lending decisions to these plans and their progress.

This report covers six themes that will be top of mind for sustainability-aware investors for 2025, identifying touchpoints that investors will need to learn to navigate in the new year. The themes identified include: ESG regulations, transition investing, sustainable bonds, ESG funds, biodiversity and artificial intelligence. 

Readers of this report will learn about how: 

• 2025 will be a testing year for ESG regulations in Europe, while the US faces a reversal of ESG policies.
• Investors are set to take a more hands-on approach to the low-carbon transition by focusing on tangible actions.
• Lower interest rates will bolster issuance in the sustainable bond market.
• The ESG fund landscape will undergo significant transformation.
• Biodiversity solutions can be scaled using innovative financial mechanisms.
• Rapid AI adoption increases environmental and social risks.

WEF: Net-Zero Industry Tracker 2024 

The third edition of the Net-Zero Industry Tracker provides a detailed analysis of the progress hard-to-abate industrial and transport sectors are making worldwide in their efforts to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

The eight sectors covered in the report account for approximately 40% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and are considered sectors in which reducing emissions can be challenging. Moreover, they play a fundamental role in driving global economic activity and connectivity. 

As a result, finding solutions to reducing these industries' emissions is critical to achieving global net-zero goals, while ensuring economic prosperity. The tracker provides both quantitative and qualitative scorecards for the sectors to continuously track their progress towards, and readiness for, net-zero targets.

Furthermore, it identifies priority areas and key barriers for the industries to encourage targeted actions to facilitate progress towards emission reduction.

Key findings from assessment of 70 countries

Emissions Pathways
• Forty of the 70 countries assessed have reduced their emissions over the past five years and almost all have established medium-term targets.
• Not a single country has a historical emissions trend or 2030 target that aligns with its national 1.5oC benchmark. Only a few are aligned with their ‘1.5oC fair share’ (an allocation based on equity principles) in their emissions trends or 2030 targets.

Climate Policies
• Forty out of the 70 countries have established a legal framework for national climate policy through a climate framework law.
• Countries perform poorly on commitments to phase out fossil fuel subsidies and production, making finance flows inconsistent with a 1.5ºC future.

Climate Finance
• Most of the developed countries (81%) assessed fail to contribute or commit to their proportional share of the US$100 billion international climate finance goal.
• Only one-third of the developing countries assessed have been transparent about the costs of their mitigation and adaptation measures. This may constrain public and private finance flows towards these objectives.

Integrating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into government bond portfolios is a relatively new frontier for investors. Robeco uses its proprietary Country SDG Framework to assess countries on their policies to achieve the SDGs, their need for capital to finance sustainable development, and their adherence to key sustainability principles.

In an update to a research paper first published in February 2023, our quant, fixed income and SDG experts show how such a framework can be practically applied in developed and emerging government bond portfolios. The new and updated parts are:

Summary

• A new section on the relationship between CDS spreads and SDG scores
• A focus on the four most important government bond benchmark indices
• Analysis of historical returns, showing that performances are not significantly affected

The sustainable finance market is maturing and broadening, a trend Sustainable Fitch identified for 2024, and this continues to underpin most of the key themes for 2025.  There are more signs that investors and issuers want tom see an increase in labels, use of proceeds (UoPs) categories and sectors.

Approaching milestones towards net zero, notably the need for emissions to peak in 2025, can create fresh impetus for a widening of activities to be included under sustainable finance frameworks. 

Key Themes for Sustainable Finance in 2025

• Labelled Debt Use of Proceeds Continue to Slowly Diversify
• Climate Adaptation Comes into Sharper Focus
• Reconsideration of Enabling and Transition Technologies as NetZero Targets Loom
• Transition Plans Guidance Expands, Can Help Boost Transition Finance
• New Regulations Slow, Boost in Implementation

The themes we identify for the year ahead are not an exhaustive list, but rather, a selection of what we expect to be most pertinent for stakeholders –from investors and corporates to policymakers – within sustainable finance. 

WHEB: It is always darkest before dawn

Impact investment has been a difficult place to invest in the past few years and what an extraordinary period this has been. 

Performance against a magnificent-seven dominated benchmark has been challenging and sentiment (and valuations) in the impact space have rarely been as depressed as now. However we believe the opportunities in the impact space have never been greater.

The value of units in FP WHEB Sustainability Impact Fund, WHEB Sustainable Impact Fund or WHEB Environmental Impact Fund may increase or decrease and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance does not predict future returns. Your capital is at risk.

Choosing between an active or passive strategy has long been a core strategic investment choice, but for sustainable investors there are additional considerations beyond the usual factors, such as fees, complexity, and the consistency of returns. A particular concern is whether a passive approach can deliver comparable values or impact alignment to an active approach.

Summary

• Passive offers a cheaper approach but can miss ESG considerations
• Active strategies may be able to adapt quicker to changing standards
• Enhanced indexing strategies can combine the best of both worlds

"This year we celebrate a decade of measuring and reporting the impact of our investments beyond financial returns.  

Investing in the opportunities arising from the transition to a more sustainable economy is attractive to asset owners with narrowly defined fiduciary duties, but it also appeals to those asset owners who are seeking to achieve positive, measurable non-financial impact outcomes through their investments."

FSI MUFG Sustainable Investment Institute: How are children’s rights evolving for investors?

To date, the common understanding of children’s rights focused mostly on child labour through investment screening. However, societal, economic and technological developments necessitate acknowledgement of the broad scope of impacts businesses have on children.

In this video, First Sentier MUFG Sustainable Investment Institute introduces the evolving concept of children’s rights and their relevance to business and investors.

"In his analysis, Saidrasul Ashrafkhanov, an associate analyst in our Oil, Gas & Mining team, investigates the assumptions supporting the oil & gas industry's sales pitch to investors regarding their pivot to Petrochems to offset the imminent decline in transport fuel demand. 
Despite opaque data, by digging through industry reports & market forecasts, he has teased out four key assumptions that support the pivot & assesses the variety of strategies deployed by the industry to execute the move.

This note is intended for equity and fixed income analysts on both the buy and sell sides, as well as engagement teams and credit analysts at lenders and insurers. It provides a list of critical questions to ask corporates regarding the assumptions behind their petrochemical strategy, which will aid in the investment modelling stage."

Denmark tops Robeco’s latest country ranking thanks to consistent environmental performance. Hungary’s declining ESG scores creates a cautionary tale for rising populist movements. Analysis finds educational investments are not enough to stave off country ‘brain drain.’ Indonesia wants to join the OECD, but is it ready?

Summary

• Consistency is key in Denmark’s rise in the ranks
• The US improves but gains most likely short-lived
• Hungary shows populism can be toxic for investments and growth

Our current economic system is linear. We take materials from the Earth, use them to make products, and eventually throw them away as waste. In contrast, a circular economy seeks to keep resources in use for as long as possible and extract the maximum value from them. It is a regenerative approach which minimises waste, pollution, and the depletion of natural resources.

The following principles underpin the circular economy:

- Eliminate waste and pollution
- Design for durability, reuse, remanufacture and recycle
- Regenerate natural systems

For many products, the solution starts with design. By redesigning products, we can reduce the resources used during the manufacturing process, extend their lifespan, and enable them to be recycled at their end of life.

"The ESG party is over. The ESG bubble has burst. ESG is dead." Headlines proclaiming the demise of ESG investing are as varied as the metaphors used to describe its alleged collapse. But do these sweeping statements reflect the whole truth? Or is the rationale for incorporating ESG factors into investment decisions compelling enough to withstand current and future headwinds?

Green bonds have been of the scene for a while now, but their wilder, more natural cousins are approaching from stage left. These instruments, which may be dubbed as nature bonds, biodiversity, bonds, or environmental bonds, among other titles, are being designed to bridge the gap between the natural world and the world of finance.

As evidenced by it being one of the main focus points at this year’s COP 16 (a.k.a. the biodiversity COP), the global interest in leveraging private finance to fund the protection of restoration of nature is growing. Unlike global treasures like the Amazon rainforest, which continue to do the exact opposite, thanks to us.

This report identifies the key industries that can drive the adoption of green steel to help China meet its carbon neutrality goals. China’s steel industry, the world’s largest, emits 17% of the country’s greenhouse gases. Despite producing 1.02 billion tonnes of crude steel in 2023, green steel supply remains close to zero.

This report highlights the automotive, property construction, and renewable energy sectors as pivotal early adopters, capable of generating demand for up to 10 million tonnes of green steel annually by 2030. It outlines actionable strategies for these industries to reduce emissions, stimulate investment in clean production technologies, and overcome adoption barriers.

Improving real estate’s sustainability profile is pivotal to addressing climate change, as the sector contributes some 40% of global greenhouse gas emissions. But improving this sustainability profile isn’t just a ‘save the world’ exercise. For building owners and associated stakeholders it is also vital to establish the necessary long-term action plans towards net zero to protect income streams and value and manage costs.

The current trend is towards publishing net zero pathways

Investors are demanding more precise disclosures to compare different investment products, not only in terms of returns or risks, but also progress towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Net zero pathways represent a product’s timeline of the ‘path to net zero’ based on the underlying real estate asset’s operating emissions. Therefore, such pathways are helpful tools for comparing investment products’ climate ambitions and progress over time. Additionally, net zero pathways help make the long-term decarbonization trajectory tangible, enabling real estate managers to review the impact of their planned decarbonization measures regularly.

While real estate managers in most countries have yet to publish net zero pathways for real estate investment products, large institutional real estate managers in Switzerland are already disclosing their pathways. Moreover, we expect this to prevail across other markets in the near term. As is so often the case, disclosure and transparency are the first necessary steps before we can assess actual progress and performance.
