Series 1: Framing the climate change issue for the discerning investor
At Earth Capital, we believe we have reached a fork in the road with two distinct transition pathways at the extremes to a low carbon economy. Either we plan a managed transition, minimising disruption and losses and maximising new opportunities, or through our inaction we find ourselves undergoing a chaotic transition, with the potential for disruption, uncertainty and perhaps even violent geo-political conflict.
We invite you to read the first of our four-part series, which looks at these two pathways in more detail.
