The Planet’s Temperature Will Rise 3.9°C, Despite The Covid-19 Crisis

Today is the International Day against Climate Change. Schroders analyzes how the Covid-19 crisis has influenced this phenomenon. The conclusion is that, despite the fact that confinements have reduced greenhouse gas emissions, the forecasts for global warming are still far above the commitment made in Paris in 2015. In particular, the latest update of the Schroders Climate Progress Dashboard suggests that the current speed of climate action will increase temperatures by 3.9°C, almost twice the Paris Agreement target of 2°C.

Spain, Second Country To Benefit Most From EIB Funds In 2019 With €8.96 Bn; €2.24 Bn Fell To Climate Goals

Spain was the second country in the European Union to receive the most funding from the European Investment Bank (EIB) in 2019, with €8.96 Bn for 92 projects. This was 6% more than in 2019, the entity’s Vice President, Emma Navarro, explained on Monday during the presentation of the EIB’s results in Spain. The EIB allocation of €2.24 Bn for the fight against climate change, 75% more than the previous year, makes Spain also the second country in Europe in terms of climate financing.

Climate Change: One Step Forward, While Standing Still

Arek Sinanian | What will the outcome be of the latest UN Climate Change Conference in Madrid? Have you ever tried walking on a travellator? You know, those moving platforms at airports that help you get to your destination when you are in a hurry or tired, or have a lot of baggage to carry. This is the image I have of the last few Conferences of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations.


Two things to watch out for at COP25 (and why climate stocks could benefit)

Two Things To Watch Out For At COP25 (And Why Climate Stocks Could Benefit)

The 25th United Nations Conference on Climate Change 2019 COP25 begins today in Madrid. We expect from COP25 two more encouraging developments: Firstly, a key issue left unadressed in the preceding Conference of Parties – COP24 in Katowice, Poland: the use of financial markets as mechanisms for fighting climate change. Secondly, a range of updates to countries’ individual targets, known as nationally determined contributions (NDCs).

10 Themes for the Next 10 Years

BofAML | We enter the next decade with interest rates at 5,000-year lows, the largest asset bubble in history, a planet that is heating up, and a deflationary profile of debt, disruption and demographics. We will end it with nearly 1bn people added to the world, a rapidly ageing population, up to 800mn people facing the threat of job automation and the environment on the brink of catastrophic change. At the same time, 3bn more people will be connected online and global data knowledge will be 32x greater than today. The social, political and economic responses to these challenges, all heading to a boiling point this decade, will overhaul traditional paradigms.
