Investors, business owners and philanthropists not only play a key role in supporting global efforts to achieve net zero, but also in driving growth of the green economy.
Everyone must play their part
We are facing a climate emergency and our progress toward a decarbonized economy over the next 10 years will be crucial. As the realities of climate change become increasingly visible, the world needs all investors, business owners and philanthropists to play their part in providing a capital flow that leads to net zero.
Becoming part of the solution is not just the right thing to do: it’s a smart economic move. In the last few years, the green economy’s growth has accelerated, with new industries now poised to transform global markets. These are the areas that investors, business owners and philanthropists should be focusing on as we address one of the greatest existential threats of our time.
How can climate risk provide opportunities to create value?
Climate change presents opportunities and risks and is expected to have a profound impact on life as we know it. This joint publication between EY and Bank of Singapore aims to raise awareness on this topic and provides insights for three key stakeholder groups — investors, business owners and philanthropists — to inspire and guide them on their climate action journey.
Summary
Investors, business owners and philanthropists should ask themselves how the climate crisis will affect their strategies and play a more significant role to help the world achieve net zero.
They also need to leverage their capabilities to address key risks and support growth of the green economy, which has accelerated over the past few years.
