When it comes to climate change mitigation, few technologies are as controversial as carbon capture and storage (CCS). Most climate scenarios expect the technology to grow extremely fast until 2040 and the fossil fuel industry likes to point to CCS as their preferred way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Critics, on the other hand, point to the high failure rate of pilot projects (historically 88% of projects failed to meet their targets) and the slow rollout to brand CCS as little more than wishful thinking that distracts from the effective climate action that could be taken now.

So, I am glad that Tsimafei Kazlou and his colleagues have published a detailed study of the potential rollout of CCS in Nature Climate Change. They emphasise that other low carbon technologies like wind, solar, and nuclear all had high failure rates and slow rollouts in the beginning. But as engineers and businesses climbed the learning curve, failure rates dropped a lot and rollout accelerated faster than anyone anticipated. Indeed, to this day, analysts tend to underestimate the growth of renewables like wind and solar.

To estimate the potential future pathways of CCS development, the researchers applied these lessons to CCS.

The Root Cause of Nature Loss: Forests, Why They Matter, and How to Assess Deforestation Risk in Investment Portfolios through Nature-Related Data

ISS STOXX's Natural Capital Research Institute's publishes a report to answer the question:

How are global institutional investors exposed to deforestation risks in their investment portfolios, and how can they assess and mitigate those risks—and related impacts and dependencies—while capitalizing on nature-based opportunities?

This roadmap was developed by RMI in collaboration with The Bezos Earth Fund. It describes an action-oriented perspective of what is needed to rapidly scale technological greenhouse gas removal (GHGR).

To do this, the roadmap sets ambitious goals for both carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and non-CO2 greenhouse gas removal.

• CDR: Reach 10 Gt CO2/y of durable technological removals by 2050.
• Non-CO2 GHGR: Advance the science of non-CO2 removal such that decisions can be made by the early 2030s about future development and deployment.

• The size of the global carbon credit market remained on ice last year, at around USD 1.4 billion. Credit demand (i.e., “retirements”) was pretty much flat on 2023 while average spot prices fell 20%.
• However, there are some signs of a coming thaw, including the continuing rise in the number of companies setting ambitious climate commitments and a number of positive policy and market developments.
• As a result, the market could rise significantly in the coming years, creating potential new investment opportunities. Our projections suggest it could be worth USD 7 to 35 billion by 2030 and USD 45 to 250 billion by 2050.

The execution of Nigerian activist and author Ken Saro-Wiwa alongside eight other Ogoni leaders in 1995 marked a pivotal moment in corporate accountability and environmental justice. Saro-Wiwa had led the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), accusing Royal Dutch Shell of environmental degradation in the Niger Delta, facilitated by its joint venture with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

Oil spills, gas flaring, and pollution of water and farmland affected the Ogoni people’s livelihoods, prompting protests against Shell and the Nigerian military regime at the time. The global spotlight turned to Shell as activists argued the company was complicit. This case became emblematic of the challenges corporations face when operating in politically unstable regions where host governments exert significant influence over operations.

𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞

The global reaction to the Ogoni crisis was swift. Western governments sanctioned Nigeria, and NGOs like Amnesty International condemned Shell’s alleged role. For investors, the case was a wake-up call. It underscored the financial and reputational risks of neglecting ESG responsibilities; the world was becoming more visible with no hiding place for corporate controversies.

𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥’𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞

Institutional investors and advocacy groups such as PIRC (my employer at the time) began calling for greater corporate transparency and accountability. The incidents in the Delta prompted broader shareholder activism, paving the way for ESG considerations to become integral to investment strategies. In the aftermath, Shell sought to repair its reputation through a series of initiatives. The company increased its transparency, committed to environmental remediation efforts, and launched community investment programs. Legal settlements, including a $15.5 million payout to the families of the Ogoni Nine in 2009, were aimed at addressing grievances.

Despite these efforts, Shell has faced significant on-going criticism. Environmental clean ups were slow, and local communities remained sceptical of the company’s intentions. Shell cited its limited autonomy within the joint venture structure with the NNPC, noting that political interference often complicated its operations. This highlighted the difficulties Western corporations face when partnering with state-controlled entities in regions with unstable governance. Shell’s own data show that spills and sabotage remain rampant.

The Saro-Wiwa case was a landmark moment for ESG investing in my view, illustrating how environmental and social risks could translate into financial and reputational harm. It heralded the importance of stakeholder engagement, particularly for corporations operating in high-risk regions. The issue also demonstrated the growing influence of civil society and activist shareholders in holding companies accountable. Shell’s experience in Nigeria became a case study in the need for robust governance frameworks and proactive management of ESG risks, especially in politically sensitive contexts.

Over the past three decades, Shell has taken significant steps to improve its ESG credentials. The company has prioritised offshore exploration, reducing its exposure to the challenges of onshore operations in the Niger Delta. Shell has also made substantial investments in renewable energy. However, critics argue that Shell’s planned divestment from onshore operations represents an attempt to distance itself from unresolved environmental and social issues. Amnesty International and other organisations contend that local communities continue to bear the burden of decades of pollution and inadequate remediation efforts.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

Shell’s operations in Nigeria highlight the difficulties multinational corporations face when navigating politically complex environments. The joint venture with the NNPC meant that Shell often had limited control over key decisions, as political and military forces influenced the venture’s priorities. Corruption, regulatory uncertainty, and local conflicts further complicated efforts to implement sustainable practices. For investors, Shell’s experience in Nigeria offers a cautionary tale about the importance of thorough due diligence and the need to understand the interplay between political forces, local communities and corporate operations.

𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬

The legacy of the Ogoni crisis is a reminder of the importance of integrating ESG considerations into investment decisions. Companies operating in high-risk regions must adopt transparent reporting, engage meaningfully with stakeholders, and demonstrate a long-term commitment to addressing environmental and social issues. The investor community may like to reflect on the 30th anniversary of Ken Saro-Wiwa’s execution; the lessons from Shell Nigeria and the consequences for a brave group of activists that remain deeply relevant. For multinational corporations and their investors, the journey toward responsible and sustainable business practices is ongoing, with the Niger Delta serving as both a warning and a continuing call to action.

Letter From GIIN CEO and Co-founder, Amit Bouri

If there’s one thing that’s certain about the year ahead, it’s that it will be a year of change. Voters around the world have rejected incumbent governments and demanded something different in the U.S., Germany, Botswana, the U.K., Japan and beyond. Times of upheaval are also times of opportunity, and I believe private capital will play an increasing role and find new avenues to improve lives and protect our planet. Here are seven trends to watch out for as we enter 2025:  

1] A renewed focus on the working class and poor

Governments around the world are under pressure to deliver for their constituents. People are demanding access to quality jobs, economic opportunities and a liveable environment. Building widespread financial stability will be a critical goal, and will involve improving access to financing, increasing the affordability of basic needs like housing, and building wealth through structures like worker-owned businesses. Improving quality of life will also mean breaking down historic inequities, from urban to rural environments, and giving people the means and opportunity for a better life. While many impact investors have already been actively investing towards these goals, governments will be looking to mobilize more private capital for these solutions.  

2] Emerging market investing getting more global attention

Many countries from Indonesia to Brazil to Nigeria still have their growth stories ahead of them. The development of these economies is critical, and must happen in a way that ensures social equality and a healthy planet.

3] A growing demand and supply for catalytic capital 
4] Continued interest in blended finance
5] An expanding impact investing market in Asia
6] Climate solutions rising on the agenda
7] The need to nail the narrative

Key Takeaways

• Climate Risks and Returns
  Climate physical and transition risks have non-negligible impact on global economy, the broad consensus on climate impact also suggests that climate change may play a role in asset pricing and potential investment returns.
• Robust Climate-Aware Capital Market Assumptions
  Given the likely impact of climate risks on asset class returns and risk profiles, we believe it is necessary to develop robust Climate-Aware Capital Market Assumptions (CMA) for use within strategic asset allocation
• Defining Objectives, Finding Solutions
  Climate-Aware CMAs can be an important tool in helping achieve climate-linked investment objectives such as developing net-zero and climate-resilient investment solutions.
• New Asset Allocation Frontiers
  Climate-Aware CMAs can provide insights on efficient allocation frontiers and help build robust portfolios that mitigate climate risks and may have the potential to capture certain upside opportunities resulting from the climate transition.

S&P Global: Big Picture for Sustainability in 2025: Secondary Perils and Protection Gaps

Insured losses from natural catastrophes globally have topped $100 billion in each of the past three years and, thanks to hurricanes Helene and Milton, look set to do so again in 2024. Contributing factors to these high numbers include growing populations in catastrophe-prone areas and rising insured property values because of economic inflation. In hurricane-prone Florida, litigation is pushing up claims costs.

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation, a recurring natural climate pattern, has a big influence on the strength and location of tropical cyclones.

Developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning have led to the creation of a new type of ESG data that do not necessarily rely on information provided by companies.

This paper reviews the use of AI in the ESG field: textual analysis to measure firms’ ESG incidents or verify the credibility of companies’ concrete commitments, satellite and sensor data to analyze companies’ environmental impact or estimate physical risk exposures, machine learning to fill missing corporate data (GHG emissions etc.).

Recent advances in LLMs now make it possible to provide investors with more accurate information about a company’s sustainable policy, innovation or supply chain relationships, or to detect greenwashing.

We also discuss potential challenges, in terms of transparency, manipulation risks and costs associated with these new data and tools.

2024 concluded as another annus horribilis for climate action, with COP29 blowing “hot air”, reinforced geopolitical tensions overshadowing the climate crisis, and the re-election of Donald Trump in the U.S. We only have a couple of years left before spending the totality of the +1.5°C carbon budget. How will the recent political changes and global geopolitical tensions impact the transition?

The energy transition is not a question of ‘if’, but of ’when’ and ‘how’. Climate change is a physical reality, as seen in the recent deadly floods in Spain. Failing to act now means paying a higher price later, and forcing countries to adapt with far greater socioeconomic consequences.

How to ensure that the clean power target enables decarbonisation of heat and transport while avoiding lock-in with high electricity prices.

Decarbonising the economy is a central priority for the new Labour Government, which has adopted a mission-driven approach to deliver Clear Power by 2030. While this is a world-leading objective there is a substantial risk that it could put the UK on a high-cost transition path that could slow down the decarbonisation of heat and transport. 

In fact, unless renewables are prioritised, choosing the wrong path to Clean Power by 2030 target could lock in high electricity prices for the long term. 

The costs to retire certain assets- asset retirement obligations (AROs)- are typically recorded on the balance sheet and can be the source of significant cash outflows when settled.  Refineries carry hefty AROs, but because of prevailing interpretations of accounting disclosure standards, many refining asset AROs are not included on the balance sheet today.

That said, refineries are increasingly exposed to the energy transition. Declining demand for fossil fuels and increasing growth in cleaner alternative energy and fuels (e.g., the electrification of vehicles) threatens to render refining assets unprofitable and obsolete, forcing the early retirement of these assets.  Nevertheless, refining companies are not “accounting” for the huge demand substitution challenge. The effect of early closures and asset stranding will be ARO acceleration and the incorporation of these significant liabilities onto the balance sheet....

First published in 2012, the Global Sustainable Competitiveness Index (GSCI) measures the competitiveness and sustainability of countries. It is the most comprehensive measurement of country performance available.

The GSCI is based on 216 quantitative indicators, derived from international organisations (World Bank, the IMF, various UN agencies. ). The focus on quantitative indicators ensures the evaluation of performance and not systems, and excludes potential subjectivity from the outset.

All indicators are evaluated as-is, and analysed for trends using, amongst others, deep-learning AI tools the clean data and analyse correlations to refine the evaluation process. The outcome is a comprehensive view of strengths and weaknesses for each country, as well as indication of the country’s future direction and potential.

"Each year, we monitor over 40 metrics across five indicators that track the development of the Islamic finance industry by country and globally. The Islamic Finance Development Indicator (IFDI) records the pulse of this market.

Since the start of this decade, the world has been caught in a chain of changes and transitions,
first with the onset of a pandemic then the rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI), both of which are resulting in sweeping changes across multiple industries. In 2023 alone, we faced conflict in the Middle East, a banking crisis in the US that while contained was not without its consequences, and an earthquake hitting Türkiye and Syria.

The year also saw a turning point in inflation, a sign that the monetary tightening cycle is winding down. The discussions now have turned towards timing and the magnitude of rate cuts.

"In this paper, we focus on corporate green bond issuances to show how this segment has become one of the most important parts of the ESG-labelled fixed income universe. This paper is organised into three sections.

The first section examines the current market landscape and specifically the characteristics of corporate green bonds. The second section explores the distinct yield characteristics of green bonds relative to conventional bonds. The final section assesses how standards are being developed to enhance the integrity of green debt instruments."

"In our third paper in this biodiversity series we explore how nature-related standards and frameworks aim to improve investor understanding when it comes to nature.

The paper is organized into four sections:

• The first section examines the steps investors are taking to understand and assess nature-related risk and opportunities at a portfolio level.
• The second section explores the efforts underway to address the challenges faced by investors to integrate nature-related risks and opportunities.
• The third section then examines some of the tools available for investors to assess the materiality of nature at a portfolio level.
• Following the conclusion, the appendix provides an overview of how the main nature-related standards and framework compare."

For the energy transition to be successful, adding clean energy to the electricity grids is essential. Mike Appleby highlights the £60 billion that National Grid will be investing in this infrastructure over the next five years and why this company’s equities and bonds have been added to the team’s UK equity funds and SF Corporate Bond Fund.

Chris Foster and Simon Clements talk about finding a number of new potential investments on their visit to Japan and subsequently adding Advantest to their global equity funds.

Climate and nature will remain the main focus for Robeco’s engagement work in 2025, with two new themes focusing on transition and shareholder rights.

Summary

• Deforestation and diversity themes to cover commodities and human capital
• Two new engagement topics for transition minerals and shareholder rights
• Focus on deepening existing themes rather than launching a raft of new ones

A new paper from BNP Paribas Asset Management, “Impact of ESG Objectives on a Portfolio”, recently published in The Journal of Portfolio Management, details a framework for adding environmental, social, and governance objectives to passively and actively managed equity portfolios so that the impact of the ESG criteria on risk and return is minimised.  

For many investors and asset managers, extra-financial objectives based on ESG factors have gained significant prominence among the characteristics of the funds they invest in. As a measure of that importance, there is a growing array of regulations that govern the ’non-financial’ objectives of funds.

"The following is an extract from our 2025 global outlook.

Pre-election rhetoric left little room for doubt regarding the incoming president’s view of pro-climate policies, with Trump promising to “terminate” funding for what he called the “Green New Deal”.

In contrast, we believe the eventual impact of the Republican administration on the clean energy market will be highly nuanced.

The details will matter, of course. Still, there are practical as well as political complications that could significantly blunt Trump’s stated ambitions...."

Population movements are, in our view, a critical and often under-appreciated driver of potential relative real estate returns.

The Covid-19 pandemic and the associated acceleration in working from home benefited Sunbelt markets at the expense of coastal Gateways. While the near-term prospects for employment growth in Sunbelt markets remain strong, over the longer term we expect this relative strength to moderate, with climate risk an increasingly important factor.

Recent extreme weather events....

"Since the peak in January 2021, the performance of sustainable funds and investments linked to the ecological transition has been disappointing. However, the investment needs to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement have not diminished, on the contrary. Capital requirements are estimated at 5,000 billion dollars per year in a 1.5°C scenario, which represents a threefold increase on investments made in 2023.

This context highlights the need for increased support for decarbonisation initiatives to meet global climate ambitions and drive responsible growth. Our aim is to see green investment as an opportunity rather than a constraint. With much more attractive valuations and more mature companies, revisiting the theme makes sense. Here we provide you with some investment ideas for the coming years, and to identify the sectors that stand to benefit from this age-old growth theme."

Border to Coast, alongside pension funds representing some £1.7trn in assets, has collaborated on a landmark blueprint recommending specific policy actions to unlock pension capital to further support the UK Government’s goal of achieving clean power by 2030.

Led by pension fund-owned asset manager IFM Investors, ‘Mobilising pension capital for net zero: a policy blueprint for the UK‘ is a first-time collaboration between Australian and UK pension funds and the UK pensions trade association, Pensions and Lifetime Savings Association (PLSA).

Key takeaways:

• In 2025, the investment industry is expected to pivot back to the fundamentals of responsible investing. This shift, driven by geopolitical complexities, emphasizes practical, financially material ESG efforts. Similarly, we see the DEI landscape placing greater focus on measurable practices, highlighting the need for organizations to adapt.
• The evolution of ESG reporting standards and the regulatory push for disclosure are improving the availability and reliability of ESG data for investors, but challenges remain in aggregating this data and integrating it into investment decision-making processes.
• Furthermore, responsible adoption and regulation of AI will be imperative to mitigate the risks associated with misuse of this transformational technology.

Key takeaways:

• History shows that sustainability-focused investments can thrive even under administrations less focused on climate goals.
• The global shift towards electrification and digitalization is irreversible, with China leading in clean energy production and innovation underscoring the importance of gaining exposure to these long-term investment themes.
• The trajectory towards a more sustainable and decarbonized economy is not solely dependent on politics; companies are increasingly committing to long-term decarbonization strategies driven by economic viability, consumer demand, and corporate responsibility.

So-called 'avoided emissions' are emissions that do not occur thanks to the use of low-carbon solutions rather than a higher-carbon incumbent solution.
 
While there are no formal standards to measure and report avoided emissions, companies providing relevant solutions should showcase their benefits - applying robust methodologies and disclosing them - as these solutions are instrumental in the energy transition, helping lower society’s greenhouse gas footprint
 
Companies providing solutions could be attractive to investors but vitally they must set a credible strategy to reduce their own emissions.

Climate change has long dominated environmental discussions, yet the critical challenges of nature and biodiversity loss remain underappreciated. Human activities, including pollution, land-use changes, and global warming, are driving ecosystems toward collapse, with one-fifth already facing severe biodiversity loss (WWF, 2024).

Addressing these risks is essential for building sustainable and resilient businesses.

Key takeaways

• "We believe the urgency of the nature and climate transition will continue to present a broad and deep investment opportunity set, which we’ve categorized into five distinct themes.
• We view these five themes as being truly global in scope, collectively extending to virtually every asset type, market sector, investment style, and geographic region."

In this special event following COP29 and the US elections, IPR and PRI assesses the long-term implications for investors of these decisive events in the transition towards net zero.

The automotive industry in Europe still suffers from weak domestic car demand and low capacity utilization. The sector has announced massive layoffs. Moreover, the European auto industry is exposed to major foreign trade and competition risks in the form of a rising market share of Chinese car makers in the segment of electric vehicles and looming US protectionism.

Given the current difficult economic situation in the sector, there have been calls for a modification of the regulation to smooth the cliff edge reduction in permissible CO2 emissions next year. It remains to be seen whether and to what extent the penalties will be enforced in practice. However, the potential financial burden is considerable.

"Our analysis suggests investing in companies with science based targets may:

• Improve the profile of a strategy in terms of overall ESG characteristics and mitigation of carbon emissions-related risk
• Improve the accuracy in measuring companies' efforts towards the transition to a low-carbon economy
• Reduce the uncertainty of climate forward-looking modelling at the company level"

The World Benchmarking Alliance’s Climate and Energy Benchmark measures and ranks the world’s 44 most influential automotive and transportation manufacturers on their alignment to a low-carbon world.

The 2024 benchmark combines the ACT (Accelerate Climate Transition) methodologies and the WBA social and just transition indicators.

This approach provides a holistic assessment of companies’ efforts to achieve a low-carbon transition that is just and equitable.
