Climate Action 100+

Climate Action 100+ is an investor-led initiative to ensure the world’s largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters take necessary action on climate change. More than 615 investors, responsible for over $65 trillion in assets under management, are engaging companies on improving climate change governance, cutting emissions and strengthening climate-related financial disclosures.

Across the planet our economies and communities face systemic risks from climate change. To mitigate their exposure and secure ongoing sustainable returns for their beneficiaries, investors must ensure the businesses they own have strategies that accelerate the transition to net-zero emissions by 2050, or sooner and align with the goal of the Paris Agreement, of limiting average global temperature rise to well below two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and pursuing efforts even further to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Climate Action 100+ is the largest ever investor engagement initiative on climate change and is putting this stewardship into practice. By working together through Climate Action 100+, investors can accelerate the business transition to a net-zero emissions future and in turn help secure stable economies that are more resilient to the risks posed by climate change.
