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."

Reframe Venture: AI climate scenario
(https://www.reframeventure.com/ai-climate-scenario)
The development and usage of AI is rapidly accelerating, placing increasing demand on our world’s natural resources. This is particularly salient in areas where data centres are located, with energy and water resources already showing visible strain.
At the same time, AI systems have the potential to rapidly speed up the transition to net-zero by optimising energy systems and enabling innovation and discovery.

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.

CEPR VoxEU: Ray of hope? The rise of solar energy in China Body
(https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/ray-hope-rise-solar-energy-china)
China's solar industry is a poster child for the country's economic rise over the last four decades.
Focal points
- Chinese local subsidies for solar production, installation and R&D were a major driver of the sector’s explosive growth and global cost declines.
- Industrial policies explained roughly 40% to 50% of changes in innovation, revenues and prices from 2004 to 2020, with large welfare gains before environmental benefits are counted.
- Solar offers evidence that targeted green industrial policy can accelerate innovation, though design matters and lessons may not transfer cleanly to all sectors.

- How policy led to innovation in solar energy
- What was the local impact of China’s industrial policy?
- What was the national impact of China’s industrial policy?
- What lessons can we learn?

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

Transition Tapes: Harald Walkate - Rethinking sustainable finance narratives
"‘Reference narratives’ are beliefs that spread contagiously “go viral”, self-reinforce. But what if the narratives shaping sustainable finance don’t fully reflect reality?
The latest thoughtful, jazzy episode of The Transition Tapes is called: The power of ‘Reference Narratives’: How the stories we tell about sustainable finance and the way we test the truth/reality of those narratives is fundamental to progress.
In this episode, I chat with Harald Walkate, Advisor on Financing Sustainability & Blended Finance: Route17 and Senior Advisor Blended Finance Lab at the LSE.
We cover:
- Why certain narratives dominate sustainable finance
- The gap between market-led thinking and policy reality
- Whether current approaches are set up to deliver real impact
- What needs to change for the transition to actually work"

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.

Clarity Turns Conviction into Competitive Edge
"The landscape of responsible investment has entered a new and more demanding phase. One that rewards clarity above all else. The debate has moved on from questioning the meaning of sustainability, to questioning
whether it is practised intentionally and from within. If so, what is the intent? Regulatory pressure, performance disappointments, and political backlash have exposed the difference between asset managers for whom responsible investment is a genuine part of who they are, and those for whom it was always a posture.That difference is now more visible to clients, to regulators, and to the market. Naming it, measuring it, and acting on it is precisely what RIBI 2026 is for."

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.

Canbury: ESG Pay Metrics are Out, But What's In?
(https://proxypro.substack.com/p/esg-pay-metrics-are-out-but-whats)
Airbnb’s proxy out last week saw it strip out all of its “stakeholder” metrics for 2026 to focus on just revenue growth and margins in its short-term executive pay. It is reflective of the trend to simplify pay plans, scrub what seems ESG-related, and focus on financials — especially for companies where share performance has lagged behind. While including sustainability metrics may have signaled a company’s “purpose,” Airbnb execs earning perfect 100% scores on every category in 2025 and near-perfect in 2024 also shows how easy it is to game the goals.
Placing this in context, so far 80 of the S&P 100 have issued a 2026 proxy. From this, certain trends are emerging — and they point in a consistent direction.
