The ABCs of Climate Investing: A Primer for Family Foundations

Many families recognize that climate change is one of the existential global challenges of this generation and are working actively to lower their own carbon footprints and support green policies. In addition, some are also exploring how they can use their investment portfolios to bulwark against the climate crisis. They — along with other forward-thinking advisors, foundations, and corporations — have the power to harness trillions of dollars of investable assets and use their investments to turn the tide on the climate crisis.

 

This primer, developed by CapShift, shows how investments can help mitigate the intensity of climate change, protect vulnerable communities from its effects, and build financial resiliency to looming climate-related risks. The primer provides frameworks to assess your climate goals and investment strategies, a review of investable climate solutions, and an example climate portfolio.
