Financial markets are very short-sighted. #ClimateChange demands long-term approaches, was a point Joseph E. Stiglitz underlined in his keynote speech in January at the launch of #CCSF. His speech is as relevant as ever. Lecture starts at 03:28:00 👉youtube.com/watch?v=5qfNKc…

The 6th #IPCC WG3 Report is out! Our chapter reviews SoA on finance and investment in relation to climate mitigation. Tnx to coordinating authors! Some highlights below:

1/5 Why is key to understanding the role of the financial sector in fighting climate change? Because mitigating climate change will not happen without alignment of financial capital to 2°C objectives. 6th #IPCC Assessment Report Chapter 15 #ClimateChange Stefano Battiston University of Zurich

2/5 What’s the current status? Much more awareness of climate change in finance since Paris 2015. Yet, large investment gap (e.g. too much into carbon-intensive assets). 6th #IPCC Assessment Report Chapter 15 #ClimateChange Stefano Battiston University of Zurich

3/5 Possible reasons for gaps? If the risk perception of high/low carbon assets is similar, there is no incentive for reallocating capital. How can that be if a low-carbon transition is on the way? 6th #IPCC Assessment Report Chapter 15 #ClimateChange Stefano Battiston University of Zurich

4/5 Gaps could close if: ** Financial actors use forward looking scenarios for climate risk assessment. ** Climate policies and national decarbonization plans have sufficient credibility. 6th #IPCC Assessment Report Chapter 15 #ClimateChange Stefano Battiston University of Zurich

5/5 Stated targets (2°C) can lead to very different paths in terms of financial risk, depending on adaptation implementation progress and mitigation policy credibility. 6th #IPCC Assessment Report Chapter 15 #ClimateChange Stefano Battiston University of Zurich ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg3/

Congrats Stefano Battiston, lead author of #IPCC Report Chapter 15 “Investment and finance”! He will be presenting his findings on the relationship between climate and finance at the #SGCD22 April 12th, 2022 in Bern. Check it out 👇 scnat.ch/en/id/vJP3N #SCNAT ProClim

Klare Signale der Politik sind entscheidend, damit Finanzakteure und Unternehmen nachhaltig investieren. Die Machbarkeit der Transition muss ebenfalls gegeben sein, sagt Stefano Battiston The Center of Competence for Sustainable Finance @uzh_bf Universität Zürich am #SGCD22
