Abstract
Scientists have discovered the causes of global warming and have made clear what must be done if humanity is to avoid a catastrophe. Engineers have invented climate solutions. Entrepreneurs and business leaders have created commercial applications. Politicians are reacting to changing social norms by providing more government support. Momentum is building for a rapid implementation of climate solutions at scale. The transition to a global low-carbon future has begun, providing investors in the era of climate change with the opportunity and challenge of a lifetime. Investors financed the extraordinarily successful Industrial and Agricultural Revolutions of the past, now investors have an even more important role: financing the world’s future.
