Climate change impacts the economy by causing damage and increasing costs. Investing in green technologies and sustainable practices can boost economic growth and create jobs. Adapting to climate change is crucial for long-term economic stability and resilience. Click on the link :point_down:to read more about this important topic from the article written by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). https://lnkd.in/dzcUFiRz #ClimateChange #GreenEconomy #Sustainability #ClimateAction #FutureReady

Investing in climate strategies isn't just environmentally responsible,it's economically smart. Studies show that every dollar invested in climate adaptation can yield between $4 and $10 in economic benefits. This return on investment comes from avoided costs related to disaster recovery, improved productivity, and new economic opportunities. Moreover, the cost of inaction far outweighs the cost of action. The World Bank estimates that climate change could force 100 million people into poverty by 2030 if we don't take significant action. In contrast, proactive investment in climate resilience can save trillions in the long run.

I disagree with the thesis in this article by Andrew Stuttaford. However, if we remove the opinion part of the article, he describes the Climate Finance opportunity in amazing detail. "U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Saturday said that $3 trillion in new capital is required each year to combat climate change...“ the single greatest opportunity of the 21st century,” investors will be fighting to get a slice of the green pie and will need no encouragement from governments before putting this money to work across the globe." But then he says "Well, maybe not." Andrew knows better than the invrestors pouring billions into climate change every month? "More broadly, much of this $3 trillion a year will presumably be invested (if investors can be found)" They are being found every day. [He makes a whole bunch of dumb comments on Climate Industry technology in which he demonstrates his lack of understanding of how the market place encourages technology development and improvement.] The next really dumb comment: "But the heaviest opportunity cost will be direct rather than indirect. Some, at least, of the $3 trillion invested in combating climate change will consume money that could have generated a higher return elsewhere." No two investors are the same, investors choose the risk/reward ratio that works for their personal situation. Some investors choose high risk projects if there is high reward, Some investors choose low risk with low rewards. And the rest choose somewhere in between. Clearly, Andrew has an axe to grind. The article implies that Yellen is expecting the 3 Trillion to be spent by the US Government, but in reality, it is investor money creating new projects and new technologies. He is correct, old technologies will not get investment money, and probably Andrew's friends will be starved for cash. 20% of all GHG emissions are created by moving food from where it's grown to where it's eaten. Growing food in cities in Indoor Vertical Farms is part of the solution. Indoor Vertical Farms uses 1% of the space, reduces GHGs and provides food security with vegetables free of pesticides. Local Grown Salads is launching 200 Indoor Vertical Farms financed by Green Bonds certified to be aligned with the UN SDGs. Investors in the company are expected to obtain a 10x return.

With the rising social, economic, and humanitarian consequences of extreme weather events such as floods and heatwaves, countries need to double down on the pace of the green transition. However, justice and equity considerations of climate action are surfacing, and the current policy and business toolkit is inadequate to forge an equitable transition, eroding public acceptance and policy stability. https://lnkd.in/ec6s8-eE

Climate change isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s a financial one. Sustainable finance is crucial in allocating capital to solutions that protect both the planet and the economy. 🌱💰 #ClimateFinance #GreenInvesting

https://lnkd.in/gtxus84X As part of my work for Centre for New Economics Studies (CNES) during the month of September, My Co-lead Tanishi and I facilitated a round table on Effective Carbon Pricing Mechanisms. Carbon pricing is an economic strategy used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by assigning a cost to carbon emissions. It provides an incentive for businesses and individuals to lower their carbon output, as emitting carbon becomes financially burdensome. Carbon pricing is crucial because it directly addresses the root cause of climate change—greenhouse gas emissions. By putting a financial cost on carbon pollution, it encourages companies and individuals to reduce their emissions, fostering cleaner energy solutions and innovations. It aligns economic incentives with environmental goals, making sustainable practices more competitive while helping countries meet their climate targets. Join us for an insightful roundtable discussion on carbon pricing, where the Enviornmental & Social Issues cluster explore the role of economic tools in mitigating climate change. The session will delve into various mechanisms, such as carbon taxes and cap-and-trade systems, to understand their impact on emissions reductions, economic growth, and sustainability. Together, we will assess global best practices, challenges in implementation, and the future of carbon pricing as a driver for climate action and green innovation.

CItes are now realizing the opportunity the Climate Industry and Climate Finance has for them. The Climate Industry is going to be bigger and better than the Industrial Revolution. Its going to create more jobs and more wealth than the world has ever seen. Why Cities? 👍 70% Of the global population will live in cities by 2050 👍 70% Of global CO2 emissions come from cities 👍 13,200 Cities are ready to act and promote climate leadership by participating in the Global Covenant of Mayors  👍 USD 5.4 to 11.4 trillion Are estimated needs to mitigate and adapt to climate change in cities per year until 2030  👍 Cities Climate Finance Leadership Alliance (CCFLA) members have headquarters in 22 countries across 5 continents 👍 CCFLA’s financial organization members have over USD 9.5 tn in assets under management 20% of all GHG emissions are created by moving food from where it's grown to where it's eaten. 15% of the World's Natural Gas is burnt to make fertilizer. 66% of fertilizer never reaches the plants wasting 10% of the world's Natural Gas. GHGs are reduced by growing food in cities in Indoor Vertical Farms. Indoor Vertical Farms improve food security by providing locally grown fresh healthy vegetables free of pesticides. Local Grown Salads is launching 200 Indoor Vertical Farms financed by Green Bonds certified to be aligned with the UN SDGs. Investors in the company are expected to obtain a 10x return.

"Investment volumes in climate and nature resilience are not increasing at anywhere near the rate needed," writes Dr Guido Schmidt-Traub partner at Systemiq Ltd. in Sustainable Views today. During the past two decades, poorer emerging and developing economies, already vulnerable to climate change, have suffered a staggering $525bn in losses from extreme weather. Finance ministers and their macroeconomic advisers, including the IMF, need to take charge and prioritise climate adaptation investments, Scmidt-Traub argues. Read more below.

【Climate Transition】 Climate change remains a top priority focus for institutional investors. At the macro level, it affects economic growth and financial stability. Investors face significant risks from asset repricing and policy changes, making it crucial to understand emissions and policy risks. What specific transition strategies are effective for investors in high-emission industries? What role do impact bonds play in climate transition? How can government and private sector participation in climate transition financing be strengthened?
