Good morning community!
I look forward to seeing you online today at 1 pm for our networking meetup!
I came across this "Global Climate change Survey" which measures support for climate action across the globe. The survey was organised by IZA Institute of Labor Economics (initiated by Deutsche Post Foundation). 130,000 individual interviews were conducted in 125 countries, representing 92% of the global population, 96% of greenhouse gas emissions, and 96% of the world's GDP.
The survey focused on the willingness to incur personal costs, the emergence of social normsl, the demand for political action, and the belief that others will act as well.
Key results:
- About 2/3 of the global population state that they are willing to contribute 1% of their income towards the fight against climate change.
- The approval of pro-climate social norms is almost universal. 86% of the global pupulation state that people in their country should try to fight global warming.
- The vast majority of people around the globe (89%) more demand more political action from their national governments.
While on Climate change theme, also sharing this interesting episode from John Teehan's CFA Climate Change Podcast. John is joined by Lucille Bonnet, Managing Partner at Klima Energy Transition and Managing Director at Alantra Energy Transition, and member of Supervisory Board at Sunroof. John and Lucille discuss her own career path, and the need for independent investors in European venture capitalism. Looking at the impact from US inflation and the future goal to decentralise green energy, they look deeper at Klima's composition as an SFDR article 9 fund.

Hello Community!
Hope you are having a great Tuesday. Today I wanted to highlight this episode of the CFA UK Climate Change Podcast focused on fiduciary duty and the rise of active shareholders. I found this episode very interesting on how academic research and the practical outcomes can help investors and other stakeholders assess and understand materiality (both internal and outward), efficacy and comparative advantage. The example with shareholders' proposal with Sainsbury's was particularly interesting. Enjoy. Transcripts are attached
Episode 11 Part 1: Fiduciary duty and the role of lobbying in climate change
In this CFA UK Climate Change Podcast, host John Teahan, Redwheel, interviews Tom Gosling, an Executive Fellow at the London Business School, discussing fiduciary duty and the role of lobbying in climate change. They explore a framework developed by the Investor Forum to guide investors in addressing ESG issues. Tom emphasizes the importance of materiality, efficacy, and comparative advantage when deciding which issues to prioritize. They apply the framework to a shareholder proposal at Sainsbury's, concluding that it did not meet the tests. Tom also highlights the evolving perspectives around ESG issues and the need for evidence-based analysis and balanced viewpoints. The conversation sets the stage for the next part, which will focus on climate change specifically
