As COP26 gets under way this week, it’s heartening to note that increasingly,corporates and investors are stepping forward to play their part in fighting climate change. If we are to keep a temperature rise of 1.5 degrees within reach,everyone– governments,corporations, financial institutions, investors and citizens – must engage with the issue. Over the almost 30 years that the United Nations has convened its COP global climate summits, climate change has emerged as a global priority.
