Sponsored Content: Allocators of capital must enable the COP26 goals to be achieved

This was the message from Old Mutual Investment Group following the conference held in Glasgow, Scotland this November, which has singled out capital, or the impactful application of capital, as a vital cog in the world’s climate response machinery.

“The GCF’s recent decisions reinforce the shared, but differentiated, responsibility between developed and emerging economies; namely that countries that were historical polluters should provide access to capital and intellectual property while emerging market economies seeking growth, should do so the on basis of green economic principles,” says Jon Duncan, Head of Responsible Investment at Old Mutual Investment Group.

Meanwhile, listed markets have already seen a decline in the relative market capitalisation of primary producers of fossil fuel, which today account for a small percentage of the MSCI World index. “Stewardship will emerge as our biggest impact in delivering Sustainable Development outcomes in the listed space; our North Star is to achieve impact-aligned sustainable development goals through our listed equity stewardship proactive targeted engagement plan,” says Lewenson.
