Leaders from all corners of the world met in California this month at the Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS), underlining what is already underway in the pursuit of transformative investments, healthy energy systems, inclusive economic growth, and land and ocean stewardship. The Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) contributed to the transformative investments theme through convening investors to participate in The Investor Agenda - with over 400 investors having taken action on one or more areas - with seven partner organisations. The PRI was represented at the summit by APG’s CEO, Gerard Olphen, who announced that no APG infrastructure in investments would involve thermal coal-related activities. GCAS ended with delegates calling on national governments to join forces to step up climate action ahead of 2020 - when global greenhouse gases (GHG) need to peak and fall sharply thereafter to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
