UN Climate Change News, 26 June – Investors from around the globe are urging world government leaders to step up ambition on climate change and enact strong policies by 2020 to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, including phasing out thermal coal power and pricing carbon. 477 investors with $34 trillion (USD) in assets, a record number of signatories, are behind the urgent call-to-action to limit average global temperature rise to no more than 1.5-degrees Celsius. In a Global Investor Statement to Governments on Climate Change, the investors wrote: “As institutional investors with millions of beneficiaries around the world, we reiterate our full support for the Paris Agreement and strongly urge all governments to implement the actions that are needed to achieve the goals of the Agreement, with the utmost urgency" The statement comes as world government leaders gather at the Group of Twenty (G20) Summit in Osaka, Japan and as the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres calls on “countries to build no new coal power plants after 2020.” In particular, investors are asking world government leaders to: Achieve the Paris Agreement’s goals Accelerate private sector investment into the low carbon transition Commit to improve climate-related financial reporting See the relevant Investor Agenda press release, with quotes, here. |
