China has established itself as a dominant force in Africa’s mining sector, with a strategic focus on securing essential resources for its manufacturing and energy transition goals. As global demand for critical minerals escalates, China’s involvement in Africa’s mining industry is reshaping the regional dynamics of resource extraction, economic development, and geopolitical influence.

In 2025, S&P Global Commodity Insights reimagined our long term energy and climate scenarios to address the complexities of modern energy markets. The traditional framework of the “energy transition” is no longer sufficient to capture the sometimes energy growth, as well as the fragmentation and complexities of international geopolitical relationships and trade. This rethinking has led to the development of three new scenarios—Adaptation, Fracture, and Renaissance—alongside updates to the CI Base Case and Net-Zero 2050 outlook.

The new scenarios highlight governance and technological progress as critical drivers of future energy pathways and emphasize the need for strategic planning to navigate a volatile world where contradictory trends can and will coexist. Thinking beyond the energy transition requires energy market players to prepare for high-risk, low-probability events and the potential for continued geopolitical upheaval

BCG’s third annual report on  sustainability in the private markets  draws on data from 9,000+ portfolio companies and 320 general partners  (GPs) participating in the ESG Data  Convergence Initiative (EDCI).

This year’s analysis of the wealth of data generated unlocks significant insights on  the role of the private markets in  driving sustainable value creation.

The carbon footprint of investment portfolios has become a central metric in tracking net zero 
ambitions of portfolios – particularly in the assessment of green bonds. Increasingly stringent 
regulations, such as fund labelling requirements like Towards Sustainability, move towards 
prohibiting the use of ‘zero emissions’ as a default footprint for green bonds. However, using an issuer-level carbon footprint to evaluate these bonds can render them ineffective as a sustainable investment tool, especially for firms in high-emission sectors like utilities that issue green bonds to fund their decarbonisation efforts.

In practice, issuers most commonly report the avoided emissions of their green bonds and rarely disclose the absolute carbon footprint of projects funded by green bonds. As a result, investors 
frequently rely on issuer-level data or basic estimation methods, which can lead to inconsistent 
or even misleading assessments of a bond’s climate impact. This underscores the need for a 
standardised and robust methodology to estimate the carbon footprint of green bonds.

Renewables 2025 is the IEA's main annual report on the sector. It presents the latest forecasts and analysis, based on recent policy and market developments, while also exploring key challenges and opportunities facing the sector.

This year’s edition provides forecasts for the deployment of renewable energy technologies in electricity, transport and heat through 2030. It also examines notable developments in key areas of the sector, including policy changes, manufacturing trends, and the financial health of different parts of the industry.

Abstract

We conducted a survey in June 2024, targeting 50,000 randomly selected clients from the  Crédit Agricole Languedoc client base to examine their socially responsible investment (SRI)  behaviors.

The survey received 1,080 responses, corresponding to a response rate of 2.16%. In addition to survey responses, administrative data on clients’ consumption and savings  behaviors during the same period were collected to complement the analysis.

The sample includes 698 individuals who report holding at least one financial product.  Among them, 284 are traditional investors (TI), representing 26% of the survey respondents, who report holding no responsible investment products; 182 (17%) are responsible investors  (RI), who report holding at least one responsible investment product; and 232 (22%) uncertain  investors (NKI), who are unsure whether they hold any responsible investment products. In addition, the sample includes 378 (35%) non-investors (NI), who report holding none of the  aforementioned financial products.

A growing number of companies are turning to nature-based carbon credits to meet their net-zero ambitions — but the market isn’t as broad as it seems. In 2024, only 3% of MSCI ACWI Investable Market Index (IMI) companies retired such credits. Yet this small cohort accounted for 65% of disclosed retirements. In other words, just a handful of companies dominate capital flows into nature-based carbon projects.

These firms, including Microsoft Corp., Shell plc and JPMorgan Chase & Co., sourced credits from 228 projects across 32 countries, mostly focused on reforestation and tropical-forest protection. Combined, these projects cover over 20 million hectares — or an area twice the size of South Korea — with an estimated expenditure of USD 200 million.

Some companies go further, locking in forward deals at USD 40–50 per credit, three to five times the current market average. These premiums help capex-intensive projects get off the ground and secure future supply of high-integrity projects.

The launch of the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA’s) Sustainability Disclosure Requirements 
(SDR) regime in November 2023 was broadly welcomed by the investment industry.  

Positioned as an ambitious initiative, the SDR aims to empower consumers in navigating  
the sustainable investment landscape, while supporting the transition to a net zero economy  
and reinforcing the UK’s status as a global hub for sustainable finance.

Key takeaways:

• A three-step systematic approach combining climate-relevant universe construction, alpha-generating decarbonisation signals, and risk optimisation can deliver both climate impact and attractive returns
• Lower portfolio carbon intensity doesn't guarantee real emissions reduction. Achieving real-world impact requires identifying companies that will drive future emissions reductions – including currently emission-intensive companies leading the transition
• A systematic approach allows investors to easily customise their decarbonisation exposure and constraints, while maintaining alpha

Over the past two decades, the world has made remarkable progress in the fight against hunger. Thanks to advances in agricultural productivity, international cooperation and targeted food security programs, the share of undernourished people has declined significantly in most regions.

The trend is especially striking in South-Eastern Asia, where the prevalence of undernourishment fell from 20.2% of the population in 2000 to just 6.1% in 2023, a reduction of 14.1pps.

Latin America and parts of South Asia also saw similar positive dynamics as governments combined agricultural expansion with nutrition programs and social safety nets. Nevertheless, global progress has been uneven.....

Key Findings

• Highly concentrated sector: Mineral production and financing are dominated by a small 
  group of countries, financial institutions and companies.
• Banks committed USD 493 billion in loans and underwriting for transition mineral mining 
  between 2016 and 2024 – 53% went to just ten companies.
• 63% of transition mineral mining credit came from banks in China, the United States, 
  France, Canada, and Japan.
• Investors held USD 289 billion in bonds and shares of transition mineral mining 
  companies as of June 2025 – 82% was in just ten companies.
• 80% of investment came from institutions in the United States, Australia, the United 
  Kingdom, Japan, and Brazil.

Jon Bone (Investor Relations Director) speaks with David Croft (Head of Sustainability) at Reckitt

This session updates investors on progress since 2022, in three main areas:

• Carbon - two science based targets (time period to 2030) and have beaten target on scope 1 and 2 reductions - 69% since 2015. Scope 3 is the biggest footprint and this is being tackled through products, packaging and ingredients. Important to work on plastics. 
• Water - water supply resilience vital in growth markets such as India and China, and working on and have achieved zero liquid discharge in some factories.
• More sustainable products - Important to work on plastics. Have introduced a sustainability innovation calculator. Using AI to identify carbon hotspots in products.

On the occasion of the 2025 Say on Climate Report event organised by the FIR and ADEME on the 25th of September, the FIR is publishing its complete Say on Climate 2025 Report, with the Ethos Foundation and the World Benchmarking Alliance participations.

This report provides at first an overview of Say on Climate at global level, followed by a presentation of the work carried out for the second year in Europe, with 19 SoCs analysed.

In the best case scenario, BASF is expected to align with a 2°C pathway by 2030. The company’s pathway to 2030 is now better evidenced, supported by tangible actions in renewable sourcing, efficiency, and pilot-scale low-carbon technologies.

However, reliance on post-2030 technological deployment, weak Scope 3.1 targets with incomplete coverage, and modest transition capex commitments mean that BASF is not aligned with a 1.5°C pathway.

After more than 15 years of tightening, the financial sector is entering a new era of rules and reforms. Regulators are easing capital requirements and other constraints on banks, insurers and fintechs, creating unprecedented growth opportunities across old world and next-gen financial systems.

Key findings

• Hurricanes can drag returns across a broad swath of equities. Firms with assets located in hurricane-prone regions have historically underperformed, with losses compounding over the observation window.
• The severity of stock underperformance has correlated strongly with the share of a firm’s assets exposed to hurricanes. The more a company relies on hurricane-prone assets, the worse the returns tend to be.
• Investors can anticipate and manage hurricane exposure before storms hit by mapping vulnerable assets, monitoring seasonal risks and incorporating adaptation measures into engagement, rebalancing or hedging strategies.

Key findings:

• Hurricane-exposed firms significantly underperformed, with effects compounding up to 30 business days post-event.
• Tail risk increased: The lowest-performing firms continued to decline over the 36-day study window.
• Concentrated exposures worsened underperformance versus diversified footprints.
  Utilities were most vulnerable, while IT and industrial companies suffered mainly when critical or concentrated assets were exposed.
• Adaptation strategies helped reduce performance declines.

Key findings

• Water quality is a new frontline of climate risk: Nestlé’s recent setbacks show extreme weather can drive contamination and costly reputational and financial fallout. Five other beverage firms may face similar risks.
• Mitigation strategies vary: Companies with more water-efficient processes may mitigate some of the risks of contamination as part of a holistic water-management approach.
• Climate hazards create compounding events: Floods, heat waves and droughts are increasingly converging, creating compounding risks for companies. Investors who assess climate threats in isolation risk missing the bigger picture. 

European Stability Mechanism (ESM) investments in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) labelled bonds reached €7.4 billion by the end of 2024. This significant allocation of its €80.5 billion paid-in capital underscores the ESM’s commitment to supporting this asset class and the specific objectives to which the proceeds are dedicated.

The ESM has long recognised that the value of ESG-labelled bonds lies not just in their labels – green, social, or sustainability – but more precisely in the underlying projects they finance and, ultimately, their tangible impact. This is why subcategories of ESG labelled bonds become essential for responsible investors, allowing them to identify in which themes – from energy transition to biodiversity – investments are made.

Consequently, issuers in labelled bonds provide increasingly more detailed expected allocations of the funds they raise. This blog explores how the sub-categorisation of use-of-proceeds bonds can help investors understand their impact and, consequently, how the ESM’s approach as an investor promotes sustainable prosperity.

Throughout history, the commercialization of new forms of energy has given rise to fossil fuel conglomerates and renewable energy enterprises, powered energy-intensive technologies, and created new global investment opportunities. As countries now race to secure the massive amounts of energy needed for leadership in artificial intelligence, nuclear energy is newly positioned to meet the moment. 

When nuclear power initially rose to prominence during the Cold War, it became a defining feature of the era, symbolizing both existential threat and scientific triumph. In the decades after the Second World War, countries raced to develop civilian nuclear programs, lured by the promise of energy too cheap to meter.

But after accidents like Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima, the momentum behind nuclear energy stalled. Public opposition surged, regulatory burdens grew, and innovation slowed. Today, nuclear energy makes up just 9% of the global electricity mix, down from approximately 18% in the late 1990s. 

After decades of underinvestment, a convergence of generational technological breakthroughs, intensifying geopolitical competition, and the need for clean, dense, reliable power are positioning nuclear energy for a renaissance. 

Brazil is a global forerunner towards a low-carbon future – its innate advantages could unlock $2-3T in investments until 2050.

A ‘climate solution’ can be broadly defined as an investment that offers a product, service or technology that enables the low carbon transition. This generally includes both climate mitigation (activities that help to reduce, avoid or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere) and climate adaptation/resilience (activities that help the world adjust to cope with expected or actual climate change impacts).

According to the Climate Policy Institute (CPI), to meet a 1.5C scenario (limiting global temperature rises to this level above pre-industrial levels), the expected finance need is around $7.4tn each year through to 2030, with a significant proportion focused on climate mitigation.

As the warming scenario increases – i.e. for scenarios where temperatures rise above these levels – the need for adaptation activities increases to prepare, for example, for expected and increased extreme weather-related events. The CPI estimates the projected losses that can be avoided by 2100 by limiting warming to 1.5C to be five times greater than the climate finance needed by 2050 to meet this target.

In recent years there has been a pronounced focus on megatrends, with fibre networks, data centres and renewables all sought after assets. Yet the silent backbone of economic activity – transportation infrastructure – deserves renewed attention.

Before discussing the sector’s merits and evolution, it’s worth re-emphasising the benefits of diversification in prudent credit investing. Including an economically core infrastructure exposure such as transportation can help reduce overexposure to risks related to regulatory changes, ramp-up uncertainties and valuation bubbles observed in sectors such as digital infrastructure and renewables.

Transport infrastructure delivers classic infrastructure attributes: a portfolio of long-life and indispensable assets that have endured all forms of market dislocations. Covid was perhaps the most severe test of its resilience. Most assets have since recovered strongly, with operational and financial metrics now exceeding pre-pandemic levels in many regions.

The largest surprise of the 2025 proxy season was the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new restrictions on permissible shareholder resolutions in the middle of an ongoing proxy season.

This permitted companies to throw out many proposals that had already been submitted under the prior rules. It also heralded a sharp fall in the number of environmental and social proposals that made it to the corporate ballot box this year.....

The annual RIA Advisor RI Insights Study assesses how responsible investment is approached by Canadian retail investment advisors. It is the most comprehensive national study of advisors’ RI perceptions in Canada, which delves deeply into how they are using RI today, what the most sophisticated users value and what some of the barriers are to those who have not yet embraced RI in their practice. 

The Transition Finance Council (TFC), the body set up by the UK government and City of London Corporation to promote transition finance, released its draft guidelines for consultation in August. While not focusing on specific financial instruments or products, we believe the guidelines aim to support financing for entities, particularly in high-emitting and hard-to-abate sectors, whose emissions trajectory is aligned with a credible decarbonisation pathway.

Assessing the sustainability impacts of the agriculture and food supply chain sector is particularly complex. It sits at the intersection of numerous environmental and social issues and has material impacts on a wide variety of environmental, social and governance (ESG) themes, including climate change mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity and nature, food security, food quality and health, and labour rights practices.

Sustainability “pure players” are entities that derive most of their revenue from environmentally or socially positive activities. Pure players offer investors the opportunity to link enterprise-level investments to a positive sustainability impact. This has made understanding how to credibly identify and evaluate pure players more important.

Some Asia-Pacific issuers are adopting donation-based penalties within sustainability-linked bond (SLB) structures, replacing or supplementing traditional coupon step-ups when targets are missed. This emerging approach could enhance the credibility and perceived effectiveness of SLBs amid ongoing scrutiny

The LP Impact Primer -  Evaluating Impact Funds

This piece is part of the partnership series (“Exploring Institutional Impact”) aimed at providing practical guidance, research insights, and tools related to impact and sustainable investing for the ILPA member community.

An actionable guide providing LPs with a framework and specific questions to identify high-quality impact investment opportunities with the additional goal of promoting greater comparability and consistency in the data requested from GPs during diligence.

• The vast majority (85%) of impact investors were headquartered in high-income countries, including 69% headquartered in Northern America or Northern or Western Europe.
• Nearly three-quarters (73%) of impact investors focused on private markets, while just 6% focused on public markets.
• For organizations not yet making impact investments, many cited lack of resources, lack of client demand and lack of shareholder demand as barriers to starting.

Can MSCI ESG Ratings Help Identify Latent Credit Risk in a Bond Portfolio?

This study explores whether sustainability data — specifically MSCI ESG Ratings and datapoints within — can help with early identification of corporate bonds at risk of adverse credit events such as distressed valuations, credit-rating downgrades or sizable spread widening. 

Using a 10.5-year dataset covering over 21,000 bonds included in MSCI Fixed Income Indexes, we found that bonds of issuers with low MSCI ESG Ratings were significantly more likely to experience such events.

We observed these results across both the investment-grade and high-yield bond universes. 
Employing survival-analysis techniques, we illustrated that high-ESG-rated bonds not only experienced fewer credit events but remained unaffected longer — suggesting sustainability data may be useful in modeling both the probability and timing of credit events.

Global food prices are particularly sensitive to weather and government policy in a few key regions. 

This report highlights those locations and explores the relationship between wheat, corn, soybeans, pork, beef and poultry.

While Climate Change Could Drive Reinsurance Volume Long-Term, Softening of Reinsurance Market Is More Important Medium-Term

The expectation is that climate change will likely drive reinsurer volumes in the long term. However, the reinsurance market is currently at overcapacity, setting the stage for softer conditions in the medium term.

The capacity has led to a shift in the reinsurance cycle that is now in full swing, and this can be seen in individual reinsurer risk-adjusted prices and the Guy Carpenter rate online.

Prices are being affected the most in property excess of loss—natural catastrophe. Scor probably has the lowest exposure and should provide investors with the best returns.

Moving toward accurate projected emissions

Modeling companies’ future emissions trajectories is a key element of transition finance, both for assessing alignment with climate objectives and for understanding potential investment risks from emissions.

While many policy recommendations call for the use of “forward-looking” methodologies to gauge future emissions, we argue that financial decision makers need empirically verified predictive indicators to make better-informed investment decisions. In this paper:

• We identified potential transition indicators along four phases of a company’s transition journey: target and governance indicators, low-carbon indicators such as capex, green-bond investments or green patents, revenue-based indicators such as green revenues or fossil-fuel-based revenues, as well as its recent emissions trajectory.
• We identified indicators with historically predictive power over three-, four- and five-year periods for changes in absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions, using appropriate statistical-analysis techniques.
• We found regional differences in our predictive analysis, with the strongest statistical confidence in climate indicators found in the European and Asia-Pacific developed equity markets, and the weakest in the U.S.
• These results may help investors as they seek to build faster-transitioning portfolios and identify companies likely to reduce emissions more slowly, warranting closer engagement.
