DESCRIPTION

Yksi johtavista hiiliriskien asiantuntijoista, Carbon Tracker Initiativen CEO Anthony Hobley kertoi Sitran järjestämässä keskustelutilaisuudessa tuoreista tutkimuksista. Näiden mukaan sijoittajien pitäisi havahtua analysoimaan niitä taloudellisia riskejä, joita fossiilisiin polttoaineisiin kohdistuvilla sijoituksilla on. CEO Anthony Hobley from Carbon Tracker Initiative shared the results from their latest studies regarding Wasted Capital and Stranded Assets in a discussion with Sitra. According to him, investors need to analyse the financial risks related to investments in high-cost, high-carbon fossil fuel assets.

Who we are

Our funders

Our formula

...by translating climate science and policy

into the language of finance.

Our work is aimed to align climate risk

with capital market risk...

What we do

Our research has created a new debate around

climate change and investment.

Our stakeholders

Our research path

We are not about divestment

…an easy and powerful bit of arithmetical analysis first published by financial analysts in the U.K. has been making the rounds… (it) up-ends most of the conventional political thinking about climate change. And it allows us to understand our precarious position with…. simple numbers”. Bill McKibben, Co-founder of 350.org

We are about responsible

risk management

This report shows very clearly the gross inconsistency between current valuations of fossil fuel assets and the path governments have committed to take in order to manage the huge risks of climate change. Prof. Lord Stern of Brentford Chair, Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, LSE
