With global temperatures rising faster than anticipated and the world on course to miss the 1.5-degree target set by the Paris
Agreement, stakes for investing in the energy transition are high. While 2022 has been a record year for inflows into renewable energy, estimates are that by the end of this decade the planet will need around $5 trillion per annum to be invested in the energy transition.
The UK government wants institutional investors to play a key role in this process. But what do asset owners make of it? Our latest roundtable, sponsored by Temporis Capital and DWS Group, looks at the investment risks and opportunities that arise from the energy transition.
The event was held at the London Stock Exchange as part of Room151’s LGPS Private Markets Forum 2023.
