Description :

Throughout history, governments have competed to secure access to primary fuels, mineral resources and food supply, causing geopolitics to have a profound impact on capital markets. The climate agenda could disrupt these traditional supply chains and relationships significantly.

For now, with America rejoining the Paris climate accord, China’s departure from its CBDR-RC principle to set a net-zero target, and ~124 nations making net-zero pledges before COP26, it seems that the collective urgency for climate action could result in a great prospect for cooperation amongst world powers. This discussion will explore the impact of the global climate agenda on geopolitics and what this means for global investments.
