    Rail entities outperformed shipping and aviation across key sustainability metrics, Sustainable Fitch says in a new report on the transport sector. Entities in the rail sector achieved an average Entity Score of 71 and an Entity Rating of ER2, higher than both shipping (60, ER3) and aviation (53, ER3). The expanded analysis covers 31 rated entities, up from 27 in the previous edition.

    Environmental factors are the main differentiator across transport modes. Rail’s average Business Activity Environmental Rating of ‘2’ was stronger than that of shipping (3) and aviation (4), reflecting its lower-carbon operating model. Business Activity Social ratings are more closely aligned, with rail and shipping averaging ‘2’ and aviation ‘3’, underpinned by shared themes of safety, labour practices and accessibility.

    Labelled debt issuance by aviation, rail and shipping represented 3.2% of global issuance in 2025, with annual green, social, sustainability and sustainability-linked volumes remaining above USD30 billion over 2023-2025. Asian entities led issuance, reflecting the financing/refinancing of public transportation systems in developed and emerging Asia.
    Green instruments dominate, representing over 60% of the total value of labelled bonds issued since 2015.

    Regulatory pressure is intensifying across transport modes in 2026. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) expanded maritime coverage to 100% of emissions from January, now incorporating methane and nitrous oxide, while the UK ETS extended to shipping from July. The European Commission is evaluating CORSIA’s effectiveness, a decision with potential implications for EU ETS coverage of international aviation.

    Frames AI as both a sustainability risk and opportunity for long-term investors

    • Risk channels include a rapidly growing carbon and water footprint, plus labour-market and social-cohesion disruption
    • Opportunities include its potential to compound efficiency gains, accelerate clean-technology discovery and scale proven solutions at near-zero marginal cost.

    The authors conclude that AI should be treated as a 'sustainability transition variable', integrated into portfolio construction, engagement priorities and risk-assessment frameworks.

    Citi Institute's piece argues that autonomous "agentic" AI is now a board-level fiduciary risk rather than a technology project to be delegated to the CTO.

    It sets out five pillars of responsible AI oversight — people, process, technology, data and governance — stressing that directors need enough AI literacy to challenge assumptions and that robust oversight is itself an enabler of faster, safer AI adoption.

    The piece highlights growing regulatory exposure, noting the EU AI Act can impose penalties of up to €35 million or 7% of annual turnover for non-compliance. It concludes that successful agentic-AI adoption depends on combining innovation with disciplined risk management embedded across the organisation.

    Quantifies how physical climate risk is flowing through to corporate financial performance.

    Climate risk is showing up as real business cost

    Modeled results for large U.S. companies indicate that climate impacts can translate into meaningful, recurring losses from both physical damage and business interruption, turning disruption into an ongoing cost of operating, not just a rare shock.

    Extreme weather can create outsized, correlated downside

    When severe events hit, losses can scale quickly across multiple companies at once. In a modeled 1-in-100-year scenario, impacts on major U.S. firms rise sharply, highlighting how tail risk can become a portfolio-wide problem rather than a single-asset issue.

    Markets respond quickly to disclosed disruption

    Companies tend to see a near-term stock decline (around 3%) following the disclosure of a weather-related disaster, reinforcing the view that markets increasingly treat physical climate disruption as financially material.

    The Climate Action Coalition's Net Benefit AI Taskforce has published 'Net Benefit AI: Scaling Solutions, Opening Opportunities', examining AI's dual role as a fast-growing source of electricity demand and an accelerant of decarbonisation.

    The report cites estimates that data centres consumed roughly 448 TWh of electricity in 2025 — on course to approach 1,000 TWh before 2030 — while responsibly deployed AI could cut global emissions by up to 5.4 billion tonnes by 2035, more than offsetting its own footprint.

    It proposes a 'Global Pledge for Net Benefit AI', analogous to COP28's renewables-trebling goal, alongside priorities spanning renewable-powered data centres, mandatory environmental disclosure and efficiency standards. Co-chaired by Ambassador Patricia Espinosa and Chris Skidmore, the report is available at the link below.

    What does it take to move from climate commitments to credible delivery — and what is still getting in the way?

    We have published our roundup from London Climate Action Week 2026.

    From corporate transition planning to the role of banks as enablers, and the geographical realities shaping the transition - here are some highlights from a week of conversations with companies, investors, banks and policymakers.

    The First Sentier MUFG Sustainable Investment Institute seeks to commission a comprehensive research report on sustainability-related issues in data centres, focusing on financial materiality, sustainability-related risks, and systemic implications for investors.

    The report will aim to quantify financial materiality, assess systemic risks and their potential impact on valuations, and provide investment insights across asset classes including engagement guidance. Case studies will be used to demonstrate risks and opportunities including sustainability impacts on production timelines, capex, and revenue. Expected sources include literature (industry reports, media, NGOs, international organisations, academic articles), datasets and industry sources.

    Deliverable will include a completed report comprising research outcomes, data, visuals and engagement toolkit.

    Proposed timelines:
    • This RFP is issued on 29.06.2026
    • Any questions or feedback regarding the brief should be submitted by 6.07.2026
    • Answers to any questions will be provided by 8.07.2026
    • Proposal should be submitted to the Institute by 10.07.2026 together with availability for a 1 hour call to discuss the proposals in the week of 13.07.2026
    • Target for notifying the successful tenderer by 17.07.2026

    Key takeaways:

    • The current energy shock makes energy transition an energy security and economic competitiveness priority.
    • Whilst the short-term response to the energy shock may be more fossil fuels, the medium to longer term response is likely to be more energy transition. We’ve seen similar in the past, in the 1970s energy shocks, and it’s already happening in numerous countries.
    • The infrastructure to enable an acceleration in the energy transition has evolved significantly, even compared to 2022. The maturity, capacity and economics of renewable energy, energy efficiency and electrification technologies is now highly advanced.

    BloombergNEF has published its New Energy Outlook 2026, projecting that solar will become the largest single source of electricity globally by 2032 and that battery storage capacity will expand 17-fold by 2050.

    The report records 2025 as a landmark year for energy transition investment, with a record $2.3 trillion deployed worldwide, while concluding that a 1.5°C pathway is no longer feasible under current trajectories. Energy security framing links geopolitical risks — including the ongoing conflict involving Iran — to the accelerating case for electrification and domestic clean energy capacity.
