In an era where the importance and value of sustainability is being questioned, we will discuss the unstoppable nature of the clean energy transition and the opportunities it presents for investors. Specifically, we will provide an update on the role of climate benchmarks, which have become a cornerstone for many investors. The landscape of available benchmarks has widened considerably over the last few years, leaving investors with a vast array of choices. A systematic approach will be presented on how to link investor objectives, including stewardship, with the selection of appropriate climate benchmarks to help investors make informed choices. We will also present an update on the 2024 scorecard on Europe’s transformation and provide a perspective on the investment appeal of European private market asset classes.
