Handbook on Climate-Related Investing across Asset Classes

Each chapter of this 60-page guide addresses the possibilities for climate-related investment within a specific asset class. As a whole, the handbook is meant to (1) help investors devise a portfolio-wide climate strategy; (2) identify standards and procedures to integrate that strategy into investment management; and (3) find ways to engage stakeholders to raise standards for all investors.

The guide takes as its premise that a climate lens reveals risks and opportunities across all elements of an investor’s portfolio. Every asset class offers investors an opportunity to pursue climate-friendly investments, to mitigate exposure to climate risk, and to engage stakeholders to improve climate-related performance across the range of investment opportunities.
