“The financial industry is a key catalyst for the real economy to combat climate change.” This was our conviction in 2010 when we started one of the first companies enabling investors to measure the climate risk and outcomes of their investments. Aside from a few converted financial market participants, not many shared this view.

10 years later, this idea seems to have become reality. The world has embraced President Obama’s famous statement that “We are the first generation to feel the effect of climate change and the last generation who can do something about it”. There is hardly any regulator and investor left on this globe who is not thinking about climate change, its implications, and the role of financial markets in this effort.
