Guinness GI: The long-term opportunity for wind energy
(https://www.guinnessgi.com/insights/long-term-opportunity-wind-energy)
"The wind industry quietly recorded another year of record installations in 2025. While other generation technologies such as solar and nuclear have dominated headlines in recent years, the wind industry has quietly been gathering momentum. With strengthening demand drivers, long-term political support in Europe and China, and attractive long-term economics, we believe that wind adoption will continue to grow."

HSBC: Gamechangers: The next stage of AI’s impact on the economy
(https://www.business.hsbc.com/en-gb/insights/gamechangers-the-next-stage)
Almost every economics presentation or meeting over the past few years has had to include a mention or a question about AI – and rightly so. The impact of the technology on the economy has both been meaningful already and is set to increase in the coming years.
We’ve seen impacts on growth in the US via software investment and data centres, a boom in Taiwanese exports, and financial markets dominated by the winners and losers of AI.
But beyond the initial buildout, the second-round macro impacts in most of the world have been pretty small so far.
- We haven’t seen mass layoffs.
- We haven’t seen productivity spike.
- We haven’t seen our day-to-day lives transformed by AI quite yet.
(623) HSBC: Future transport: Ignore consumer preference at your peril
HSBC: Future transport: Ignore consumer preference at your peril
The transport sector is making some progress on decarbonisation, but it is slow and the outlook is tough. According to the UN, the sector accounts for roughly one-quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Making transport clean(er) remains the central tenet of the industry.
... includes ...
- Road is key
- The headwinds to EV adoption, however, are clear and well-rehearsed
- Regulators have started to adjust to reflect this reality
- The road ahead
- For sea and air transport, the challenge remains the availability of alternative fuels
- Meanwhile, autonomous driving is gaining speed
(552) Canbury: Six Flags Over Texas and Redomicile Proposals
Canbury: Six Flags Over Texas and Redomicile Proposals
(https://proxypro.substack.com/p/six-flags-over-texas)
Companies are leaving the shareholder-aligned—or at least well-defined—confines of Delaware for the corporate-friendly open plains of Texas. Recent reforms to the Texas Business Organizations Code (TBOC), along with the 2024 launch of the specialized Texas Business Court, have attracted a wave of companies to propose redomiciling in the Lone Star State. The concern among institutional investors is what rights are they losing to hold boards accountable in the Texas shuffle.
ArcBest saw two-thirds shareholder approval for its redomicile proposal in April, while Texas Capital Bancshares narrowly experienced defeat. ExxonMobil has its proposal going to a shareholder vote later this month, along with a number of other companies this season, including Dell Technologies.
Taking a page from Six Flags amusement park - named after the six sovereign flags that have flown over Texas - Canbury Insights’ ProxyPro platform uses a six-flag assessment for scoring companies on their redomicile proposals. The ride can be thrilling or terrifying, depending on where you are sitting.

(545) Generation IM: How Physical World AI Could Reshape our Economy
Generation IM: How Physical World AI Could Reshape our Economy
At a glance:
- Over $34 billion of private capital flowed into robotics-related companies in 2025 – more than twice that of 2024.1 Yet some of the best-funded companies are still in the early stages of commercialisation, with scaled deployments years away.
- Physical world foundation models, which include both vision language action and world models, are emerging as the next frontier of artificial intelligence, but data remains a critical bottleneck.
- We see investment opportunities in robotic hardware and the software ‘picks and shovels’ of physical AI, including companies providing data, testing infrastructure and simulation tools.

JPM: Energy outlook 2026: Mitigating volatility with a diverse energy mix
(https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/global-research/outlook/energy-outlook)
Key takeaways
- Volatile oil prices and surging electricity demand highlight the urgent need for a diversified energy mix to safeguard economic and energy security.
- The need for diversified energy sources is rapidly reshaping global power generation. Renewables and advanced technologies are projected to supply the majority of global electricity by 2100.
- Overall, increased global investment in renewables, including nuclear, solar and wind, is paving the way for a more stable and resilient future.

How do climate-related risks and opportunities intersect with corporate strategy?
"We believe the risks and opportunities associated with climate change (both the energy transition and the worsening events exacerbated by climate change) should be evaluated through the lens of financial materiality. The resulting prominence within corporate strategy will naturally differ by industry and business model ..."

Sustainable Fitch: Sector Insight: Aviation, Rail and Shipping
(https://www.sustainablefitch.com/corporate-finance/sector-insight-aviation-rail-shipping-13-07-2026)
Rail entities outperformed shipping and aviation across key sustainability metrics, Sustainable Fitch says in a new report on the transport sector. Entities in the rail sector achieved an average Entity Score of 71 and an Entity Rating of ER2, higher than both shipping (60, ER3) and aviation (53, ER3). The expanded analysis covers 31 rated entities, up from 27 in the previous edition.
Environmental factors are the main differentiator across transport modes. Rail’s average Business Activity Environmental Rating of ‘2’ was stronger than that of shipping (3) and aviation (4), reflecting its lower-carbon operating model. Business Activity Social ratings are more closely aligned, with rail and shipping averaging ‘2’ and aviation ‘3’, underpinned by shared themes of safety, labour practices and accessibility.
Labelled debt issuance by aviation, rail and shipping represented 3.2% of global issuance in 2025, with annual green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked volumes remaining above USD30 billion over 2023-2025. Asian entities led issuance, reflecting the financing/refinancing of public transportation systems in developed and emerging Asia.
Green instruments dominate, representing over 60% of the total value of labelled bonds issued since 2015.Regulatory pressure is intensifying across transport modes in 2026. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) expanded maritime coverage to 100% of emissions from January, now incorporating methane and nitrous oxide, while the UK ETS extended to shipping from July. The European Commission is evaluating CORSIA’s effectiveness, a decision with potential implications for EU ETS coverage of international aviation.
(461) BNP Paribas AM: AI: A sustainability risk and opportunity for long-term investors
BNP Paribas AM: AI: A sustainability risk and opportunity for long-term investors
Frames AI as both a sustainability risk and opportunity for long-term investors
- Risk channels include a rapidly growing carbon and water footprint, plus labour-market and social-cohesion disruption
- Opportunities include its potential to compound efficiency gains, accelerate clean-technology discovery and scale proven solutions at near-zero marginal cost.
The authors conclude that AI should be treated as a 'sustainability transition variable', integrated into portfolio construction, engagement priorities and risk-assessment frameworks.

Citi: The Boardroom's New Mandate: Governing Agentic AI Responsibly
(https://www.citigroup.com/global/insights/the-boardroom-s-new-mandate)
Citi Institute's piece argues that autonomous "agentic" AI is now a board-level fiduciary risk rather than a technology project to be delegated to the CTO.
It sets out five pillars of responsible AI oversight — people, process, technology, data and governance — stressing that directors need enough AI literacy to challenge assumptions and that robust oversight is itself an enabler of faster, safer AI adoption.
The piece highlights growing regulatory exposure, noting the EU AI Act can impose penalties of up to €35 million or 7% of annual turnover for non-compliance. It concludes that successful agentic-AI adoption depends on combining innovation with disciplined risk management embedded across the organisation.
