As the need intensifies for the world to transition to a low-carbon economy, we look at the ways in which aligning to the 2 degree global warming scenario can provide investors with opportunities. In particular, we will explore the benefits of adopting a low cost, rules-based approach to integrating climate risk, with a focus on:
• Incorporating a forward looking approach aligned to forward-looking carbon reduction targets
• The use of qualitative and quantitative factors to tilt exposures towards those companies more likely to follow the 2 degree reduction scenario and away from those likely to track the 6 degree scenario
• The role of an active engagement and proxy voting policy to drive positive climate change action
