Asset managers feeling the heat on climate from pension funds - @zerocarbona.bsky.social Major funds have recently pulled over USD 100 billion from managers like BlackRock Failing to address climate risks could lead to a 33% loss in pension returns by 2050 zerocarbon-analytics.org/finance/asse...

ZCA analysis shows that pension funds pulled over USD 100 billion from asset managers whose climate strategies did not align with the funds’ long-term interests. Read more: zerocarbon-analytics.org/finance/asse... #SustainableFinance #NetZero #PensionFunds

Higher temperatures and unpredictable and #ExtremeWeather are leading to less and worse-tasting sparkling #wine 🍾 Adaptation can help protect iconic production regions, but success depends on limiting future temperature rise. Read our new briefing 👉 zerocarbon-analytics.org/insights/bri...

Our research concurs, showing the momentum for #renewables that has been growing since the #ParisAgreement was signed in 2015. Installed renewable power capacity has increased 2.4x in the decade since, from 1,851 GW in 2015 to 4,448 GW in 2024. (@ember-energy.org data)

Our latest analysis on the energy transition shows that, in many markets, high renewable energy uptake is associated with below-average power prices. Read more: zerocarbon-analytics.org/energy/the-m... #Energytransition #Renewables
