"The greatest cost to people and planet comes from avoiding taking action in the sectors or markets where there is huge potential for abatement and, resultingly, value creation between now and 2050."

Climate Strategy and Operations lead Phyl Georgiou makes a strong case in this impressive report from AVCA - The African Private Capital Association in conjunction with Tony Blair Institute for Global Change.

Phyl goes on: "Climate policies also need to account for geographic variation, particularly for climate-conscious investors with a wide geographic remit. What a #JustTransition looks like in South Africa differs to what it looks like in Nigeria or Vietnam. There needs to be care to be balanced and context specific with the articulation of a climate investing policy.“

Proud to have a fast-growing climate team. Amid a crowded market of climate investors, they are distinctively advancing our focus on the needs of emerging consumers.

There are incredible opportunities available for investors if they just look in the right places. More from Phyl beloe or download here:
