    The recent massive power outage in Spain and Portugal has led to discussions around renewables and grid inertia, so it's probably worth a deeper understanding

    ...

    The outage raised critical questions about the resilience of modern electricity grids with high levels of renewable energy penetration. Specifically, the event prompted the crucial debate: could the high percentage of renewables like solar PV and wind have contributed to grid instability during the incident?

    And if so, how are other countries with significant wind and solar power in their electricity mix (such as Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany) managing these challenges seemingly without experiencing similar widespread system collapses?

    The chemical industry, which accounts for up to 6% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, is a key player in the transition to a net-zero economy. However, it faces sector-specific challenges such as long asset lives, high process emissions, and complex global supply chains.

    This report benchmarks the climate transition performance of eight of the world’s top chemical companies: BASF, Bayer, Dow, Incitec Pivot, Air Liquide, LyondellBasell, SABIC, and Toray Industries.

     

    It evaluates them across emissions performance, value chain engagement, governance and remuneration, capital allocation, and policy advocacy. The goal is to provide financial institutions with a clear picture of these companies’ transition readiness and their potential climate-related risks and opportunities.

    Mirova, DNCA, Ossiam: Is defence defensible in ESG investing?

    Caught between the threat of Russian expansionism in the East and a possible withdrawal of the American security umbrella by Donald Trump across the Atlantic, Europe has launched an €800 billion finance plan to rearm the continent.

    Yet this military emancipation cannot be achieved without recourse to private investment, particularly considering the context of strained public accounts across many European countries.....

    Key takeaways

    • "Climate transition involves challenges in managing the social impacts of tackling climate change. But as well as challenges, there are opportunities for sustainable and inclusive economic growth.
    • A focus on a “just transition” may be the key to unlock lagging actions on climate adaptation.
    • To achieve a just transition, the consideration of social factors should permeate all aspects of climate strategies. At AllianzGI, we put the theme at the centre of our in-house research and stewardship toolkit.
    • “Just transition” is an increasingly important topic for investors due to inclusion in climate planning and incoming regulation."

    First Sentier MUFG-SI: Climate Risk & Adaptation in Global Food

    1. The purpose of this report is to highlight the major climate change and extreme weather impacts on global food supply chains through to 2050 and propose actions which businesses and investors can take to support food security, food system resilience, and commercial returns.

    2. The world is on track for 2.5 degrees global warming by 2050 at the rate of current policies and climate action, with an expected deficit of 15-20 GT CO2e according to Baringa’s modelling. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has confirmed positive correlations between increased emissions and increased occurrence of extreme weather hazards. This means that both direct and indirect investors across globally integrated supply chains like food will continue to face exponentially increasing climate risks and extreme weather hazards over the next several decades....

    • Biodiversity is increasingly becoming part of investors’ agendas and a part of their sustainability approach
    • The number of biodiversity-related products on the market has grown markedly, while assets under management have more than doubled
    • We expect this momentum to accelerate despite challenges, notably around data and measurement as these improve
