The CFA Institute, a global investment professionals association, has published a guide for investors to support the theory and practice of net zero investment. The guide compiles 16 research papers from more than 50 academics and investment industry professionals, offering practical solutions and strategies for net zero investing. Themes featured in the report include decarbonisation and carbon pricing trends, fiduciary duty and climate goals, measuring carbon emissions, and net zero-aligned portfolios. “Net zero investing is really still in its infancy. Against this backdrop, we’ve brought together experts from across the globe to break down the big ideas around net zero investing and create an extended knowledge bank for investors seeking to incorporate net-zero strategies into their portfolios,” said Chris Fidler, Head of Global Industry Standards at the CFA Institute. “The guide provides a comprehensive overview of the latest practices and trends, helping illuminate pathways to understanding the intricate dynamics of net zero investing, while aligning financial objectives with client goals.” The institute has also today published a report on the voluntary carbon market, identifying current challenges and outlining solutions for improvement to support climate change mitigation.
