A climate disaster can be avoided, but only with rapid and sustainable investments in companies and projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Investors are abandoning fossil fuel companies and other polluting industries and funding businesses that offer climate solutions. Increasing risks, evolving social norms, government policies, and technological innovation are accelerating this movement of capital.
Bruce Usher offers a necessary guide to the risks and opportunities for investors as the world faces climate change. He explores the role investment plays in reducing emissions to net zero by 2050, detailing how to finance the winners and avoid the losers in a transformed global economy. Usher argues that careful consideration of climate solutions will provide investors with a new and necessary perspective for the future, to their benefit and for the common good.
Companies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions will create significant wealth and, more importantly, provide a lifeline for humanity. Based on academic and industrial research, Usher's forecasts bring clarity to a complex and controversial subject while shedding light on the people behind the numbers. This book presents a practical and actionable plan for investors that will change the course of climate change.
