While most pension funds and other institutional investors have a sustainability approach for their core fixed income portfolio, reflecting this within a cash flow-driven investment strategy is still a nascent concept. But given their long-term nature and often tailored fixed income allocation, CDI strategies are well placed to reflect outcomes significantly beyond income requirements — not least those relating to sustainability.

Private finance covers only a fraction of climate adaptation needs, says report from the UN Environment Programme. The report estimates that developing countries will require $310bn–$365bn a year by the same date to meet their adaptation needs. Adaptation finance for these countries stood at $26bn in 2023. https://lnkd.in/emhMzGqj

Global productivity losses from heat exposure hit record high in 2024, says report from The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change. On average, 84 per cent of the “life-threatening heatwave days” that people experienced each year from 2020 to 2024 would not have happened without climate change, says the report. https://lnkd.in/eCB-_YS4 Charlotte Watts Wellcome Trust

For communities affected by environmental harm, litigation has become a necessary but arduous route to justice, writes Tom Davey, co-founder and director at Factor Risk Management But it is difficult for law firms to run large-scale consumer collective actions, which are prohibitively expensive and often last years. Most UK law firms lack the capital or risk appetite to pursue such claims without external support, making litigation funding the only realistic means for claimants to access justice. https://lnkd.in/epEqxxqq

Governments urged to reduce climate disaster risks to avert ‘spiral of uninsurability’, says new report from Finance Watch Finance Watch warns that without addressing the root causes of climate-related risks, the proposal could “simply redistribute ever-growing losses rather than reduce them” as climate-related losses continue to rise. To prevent the insurance protection gap from becoming a “vast void”, it recommends adding a third pillar to the EU’s risk framework, focused on closing the climate adaptation and mitigation investment gap. https://lnkd.in/e_i24ST4 Vincent Vandeloise

Countries attacking the EU’s carbon border price may be exaggerating their claims, writes Adrien Assous, executive director of Sandbag "Our simulator reveals that the net costs of the EU carbon border adjustment mechanism for exporting countries will be significantly lower — by an estimated 56 per cent — than the full fees because companies can factor much of the costs imposed by CBAM into the price at which they will sell their goods."

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva returned to office in 2023 with a pledge to deliver zero deforestation by 2030. Sixty per cent of the Amazon rainforest is in Brazil. Under his leadership, deforestation has slowed, dropping by more than 30 per cent in 2024 to reach its lowest level since 2015. At the same time, however, forest degradation from fires has shot up because of drought. Brazilian government data shows a nearly 18-fold increase in fires in September 2024 due to severe drought, with fire hotspots up 70 per cent from the previous year. Meanwhile, expanding oil output and emissions from forest degradation and agriculture are further cause for concern, reports Aniket N.. https://lnkd.in/eGX8YkCF Featuring data from Stand.earth Ember International Energy Agency (IEA) and comments from E+ Energy Transition Institute
