Sea levels are rising, glaciers are melting and extreme weather events such as tornadoes or floods are becoming more frequent and intense. Even if these climate events currently seem to be far from our doorstep, the effects of climate change, such as global warming, can already be observed worldwide. In the long term, it is the deterioration of air and water quality that threatens the health of us all, because climate change affects our daily lives: the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe.
Climate investing refers to investing in companies or projects that have a lower climate footprint than their comparable peers - for example "green bonds" or investments in listed companies that have a good environmental record. They belong to the so-called ESG investments, but also focus on potential transition opportunities in addition to the ESG performance of a company. By placing capital in these kinds of opportunities, investors are reducing exposure to climate risks, while also investing in the innovative technologies shaping our future.Investments in Climate Change ETFs support technologies or companies that are likely to become important as the world transitions away from fossil fuels and carbon-intensive industries. Thus, Climate Investing offers the opportunity to invest in companies seeking to improve their sustainability practices and reduce their carbon footprint.

The effects of climate change are becoming more and more apparent - global warming is increasing by the day. In summary, climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our times[5].
The importance of climate investing has increased in recent years as the impacts of climate change become more apparent - this is also shown by actual figures and forecasts on global greenhouse gas emissions.
Companies, countries, organisations and institutions across society need to do the work of aligning their emissions with the global goal of a low-carbon future. Climate investing can help to shift the investor’s portfolio towards companies with a lower carbon footprint and those who are actively working towards the climate transition. There is a growing consensus among both governments and businesses on the fundamental role of carbon pricing[9] in the transition to a decarbonized economy.
| Benefits of Carbon Pricing | ||
For governments, carbon pricing is one of the most important instruments in the climate policy needed to reduce emissions. It is used to capture the external costs of greenhouse gas emissions and pass them on to polluters. |
Companies use internal carbon pricing to assess the impact of binding carbon prices on their operations and to identify potential climate risks. In addition, the use of renewable energies becomes more attractive for companies. |
 Long-term investors can use carbon pricing to analyse the potential impact of climate action on their portfolio, allowing them to adapt Climate Investing-strategies and shift capital toward low-carbon or climate-resilient activities. |
