Global Carbon Transformation: An Essential Investment Theme
As extreme weather events continue to occur with increased frequency, the necessity to transform the way we consume energy has taken on significant urgency. The approaches to decarbonizing will vary across sectors, but government policies and the investment community are driving change. The global carbon transformation is shaping up to be a multi-decade, secular phenomenon. It exists at the intersection of three powerful themes: climate commitment, energy security, and economic growth.
