Responsible Investment Between Climate Change and SDGs

Responsible investment as a capital allocation strategy has evolved from its ethical and political origins to embrace science-based considerations and outcome-based approaches in response to climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The US, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Africa present different levels of maturity and strengths in the space of responsible investment, calling for ad-hoc responses from investee companies. However, across all jurisdictions, investors and policymakers are still grappling with the challenge of effectively measuring the impact of responsible investment.
