A climate catastrophe can be avoided, but only with a rapid and
sustained investment in companies and projects that reduce greenhouse
gas emissions. To the surprise of many, this has already begun.
Investors are abandoning fossil-fuel companies and other polluting
industries and financing businesses offering climate solutions. Rising
risks, evolving social norms, government policies, and technological
innovation are all accelerating this movement of capital.
Bruce Usher offers an indispensable guide to the risks and opportunities
for investors as the world faces climate change. He explores the role
that investment plays in reducing emissions to net zero by 2050,
detailing how to finance the winners and avoid the losers in a
transforming global economy. Usher argues that careful examination of
climate solutions will offer investors a new and necessary lens on the
future for their own financial benefit and for the greater good.
Companies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions will create great wealth,
and, more importantly, they will provide a lifeline for humanity.
Grounded in academic and industry research, Usher's insights bring
clarity to a complex and controversial topic while illuminating the
people behind the numbers. This book sets out a practical and actionable
plan for investors that will alter the course of climate change.
