    Almost every economics presentation or meeting over the past few years has had to include a mention or a question about AI – and rightly so. The impact of the technology on the economy has both been meaningful already and is set to increase in the coming years.

    We’ve seen impacts on growth in the US via software investment and data centres, a boom in Taiwanese exports, and financial markets dominated by the winners and losers of AI.

    But beyond the initial buildout, the second-round macro impacts in most of the world have been pretty small so far.

    • We haven’t seen mass layoffs.
    • We haven’t seen productivity spike.
    • We haven’t seen our day-to-day lives transformed by AI quite yet.

    The transport sector is making some progress on decarbonisation, but it is slow and the outlook is tough. According to the UN, the sector accounts for roughly one-quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions.

    Making transport clean(er) remains the central tenet of the industry.

    • Road is key
    • The headwinds to EV adoption, however, are clear and well-rehearsed
    • Regulators have started to adjust to reflect this reality

    • For sea and air transport, the challenge remains the availability of alternative fuels
    • Meanwhile, autonomous driving is gaining speed

    How do climate-related risks and opportunities intersect with corporate strategy?

    "We believe the risks and opportunities associated with climate change (both the energy transition and the worsening events exacerbated by climate change) should be evaluated through the lens of financial materiality. The resulting prominence within corporate strategy will naturally differ by industry and business model ..."

    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.

    In some of America's biggest agricultural states, wind and solar revenues are approaching those from corn, soy, and other major commodities.

    American farmers have long diversified their income by leasing land for energy infrastructure, and over the past 15 years, utility-scale wind and solar have become meaningful sources of revenue.

    RMI analysis finds that revenue from rural solar and wind energy has become significant in some states, and at the national level is approaching the scale of major agricultural commodities.
