Investments will continue to play a pivotal role in combating climate change and its systemic impacts. Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 is projected to require between $100 and $150 trillion in total — demanding a near tripling of current investment levels to $4 trillion annually.
At Sonen, we see the Just Transition as an inclusive and equitable process towards an environmentally sustainable, low-carbon, and regenerative economy. We believe investments in climate should incorporate positive contributions to decent work, wealth creation and social inclusion. By intentionally integrating social equity considerations into climate-focused investments, investors can help foster both financial performance and lasting resilience for these efforts.
In our latest Impact Investing Framework: Just Transition, Sonen Capital provides a roadmap for identifying investments that have the potential to deliver competitive financial returns while advancing interlinked social and environmental goals.
