Morgan Stanley and The Economist Intelligence Unit Release New Index to Support Investors Seeking Cl

Morgan Stanley press release -------- Today the Morgan Stanley Institute for Sustainable Investing released the Climate Change Mitigation Opportunities Index, a report and interactive tool investors can use to examine the risks and opportunities of climate change mitigation investments. The index seeks to evaluate technology investment opportunities, both on their impact on mitigating climate change and their potential for market-rate returns. With input from a panel of experts, the Institute, with The Economist Intelligence Unit, identified five sectors (energy, transportation, industry, agriculture and the built environment), which are responsible for 90 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions. The index is then applied across 20 countries selected to illustrate climate change mitigation opportunities across a range of geographies and economies. The index considers country-level conditions such as sector maturity, infrastructure, political environment and other enabling factors in order to inform investors about specific opportunities and risks.
