As an organisation, our purpose is empowering people to innovate and invest for a better future. So on climate change, we’re supporting governments, clients and communities to realise their decarbonisation ambitions, whether that’s alignment with the Paris Agreement, carbon neutrality, net zero or another measure.
Our global capabilities in managing, developing, advising, financing and trading come together in support of these goals.
On the 25th and 26th of January, we took part in the online international Climate Adaptation Summit. The summit promoted actions to make our world more resilient to the effects of climate change.
