Investing for Climate Justice: An Intersectional Approach

From Cambridge Associates. In this paper, Cambridge Associates demonstrates that climate change is also a social justice issue, given its disproportionate impact on women, people of color, lower income communities, and developing countries. They outline ways in which investors, including those pursuing a path to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, can implement an intersectional approach to climate justice in portfolios, both holistically across themes and within each asset class. Lastly, they outline three steps investors should consider to help ensure our transition to a low-carbon economy is inclusive and just. Ultimately, they believe all investors would benefit from understanding the risks and opportunities associated with climate justice.
