Invest in Climate Solutions

Invest in a portfolio to drive climate action, mitigate climate change and adapt to a low-carbon future.

We are the first generation to feel the effect of climate change and the last generation who can do something about it.

- Barack Obama

Challenges

Global warming is undeniable. Over the last 70 years, there have been unprecedented changes in our climate; oceans and atmosphere have warmed, ice and snow have melted, and the sea level has risen. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate (IPCC) has issued multiple dire warnings recently that our current emission plans are still not enough to divert the effects of climate change, but we have some limited time left to act.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Infographic illustrates global greenhouse gas emissions by sector in circles proportionate to their emission level. From the largest circle to the lowest, the emissions are as follow. Electricity and heat production with 25%, Agriculture, forestry and other land use with 24%, Industry with 21%, Transportation with 14%, Buildings with 6% and Other energy with 10%.

Climate Justice

Infographic depicts two images of the Earth, a smaller one and a larger one below. The illustration states that the United States represents 4% of the global population yet accounts for 15% of global emissions, making it the 2nd largest producer of greenhouse gases.

Rising Temperatures

An infographic of the Earth sliced into three equal parts vertically. The first one highlights that +1.5 celsius increase in global temperatures would result in 2 months of global drought per year, a good scenario. The second highlights that +2.0 celsius increase in global temperatures would result in 4 months of global drought per year, a moderate scenario. The third one highlights that +3.0 celsius increase in global temperatures would result in 10 months of global drought per year, a catastrophic scenario.

Deathly Consequences

Infographic showing viral molecules with a caption stating that global temperature increase will kill 14 times the number of people as COVID-19 by 2100—83 million people. This does not account for the rise of natural disasters or diseases, so the actual death toll due to climate change will likely be much higher.
