Arne Staal , CEO of FTSE Russell and Group Head of Benchmarks & Indices at LSEG hosted the market opening, highlighting that indices are already playing an important role in mobilising capital towards 2030 and ensuring the financial markets infrastructure is geared towards the goal of net- zero by 2050 or earlier.
Peter Damgaard Jensen , Co-Chair of the Climate Investment Coalition, announced the launch of CIC's efforts to mobilise climate investments for emerging markets and developing economies by 2030, to be announced at COP27 . In addition, CIC's Co-Chair announced its programme to collaborate with key partners on creating business and financial models for investing more in new energy and climate technology towards 2030.
Amongst unprecedented and volatile political, economic and social global circumstances, an estimated US$5 trillion in climate finance (WRI, 2021) must still be invested every year globally by 2030 from public and private sector sources to achieve critical climate goals for an energy and climate secure world.
In support of this, the Climate Investment Coalition, an international public-private sector initiative, mobilised an unparalleled total collective commitment from Nordic and UK pension funds of US$130 billion to be invested in clean energy and climate investments by 2030 and reported on annually, announced at COP26 by Nordic Heads of State and Government and pension fund CEOs.
