I’m excited to announce the launch of the 2024 Global Investor Statement to Governments on the Climate Crisis. Investors recognize that policy mechanisms are essential to achieve a net zero emissions economy by 2050 or sooner, with interim targets in line with credible 1.5°C pathways. That’s why ahead of #COP29 over 500 investors – and counting - are calling on governments to enact 5 essential policy actions to accelerate the private capital flows needed for a just transition to a climate-resilient, nature-positive economy.?If you haven’t yet signed, the statement is remains open until Nov. 1. Find out more about the #climatepolicy asks in the #GlobalInvestorStatement?here:?? https://lnkd.in/gMbHPinX??
