Megatrend – Growing Business Ambition for 1.5°C
There has been a surge in interest from companies and major investors in adopting sustainable business plans that are compatible with a 1.5°C future, as decision-makers recognize the vast growth opportunities ahead in the global transition to a decarbonized economy by 2050.
​
Major pension funds and investment firms, who acknowledge that their portfolios are now more aligned with a 3.5°C future, are now starting to move at scale by working with asset managers and companies in their portfolios to decarbonize and align with net-zero targets. Much wider progress is still needed, and the journey of companies and investors - in aggregate - is only in its early stages.
