#COP31 is an opportunity for investors to engage on the policy, finance and implementation frameworks that support long-term value creation and the real-economy transition. It comes at a critical moment for climate policy and multilateralism, as investors navigate rising climate risk, geopolitical volatility and uneven policy signals, highlighting the need for credible, coherent and investable frameworks. Why engage with the COP process? 🟢 Influence national policy and regulation which in turn affect investment conditions  🟢 Support policy coherence across markets – allowing you to allocate capital more efficiently  🟢 Create more investable conditions  🟢 Advance implementation through collaboration, which can support capacity building Our new briefing, ‘Decoding COP31: a policy engagement guide for investors’, sets out the key engagement opportunities for institutional investors ahead of and during COP31 and explains how engagement in the UN climate process can support #responsibleinvestment as it sets out the playing field for climate finance, adaptation, mitigation, just transition and carbon markets, which are all key opportunities for alpha. 📗 Read the full briefing: https://lnkd.in/eWSVWTVM  📅 Express interest in joining our COP31 engagement activities: https://lnkd.in/euMKVxMB  🔗 More information via MyPRI: https://lnkd.in/eiGWtpfx

“If the coming years remain a story of higher inflation, fiscal stress and avoidable climate damage, it will not be because the warning was missing.” In a new piece for Sustainable Views, Daniel Gallagher, Ph.D., examines how the approaching El Niño is being priced as a system-level financial risk and what this tells us about the broader challenge of climate resilience. As investors gain deeper insight into physical climate risks, attention is turning to whether #policy action can keep pace with the growing scale of those challenges. The risk is clear, but markets can reprice exposures and adjust portfolios, though they cannot lead on building economic resilience.  Read the full piece below 👇 #ElNiño #ElNino #climaterisk #finance #responsibleinvestment #sustainablefinance 

South Africa’s asset owners are signalling strong commitment to responsible investment, but implementation remains uneven.  Our latest South Africa asset owner survey report is now available, with findings showing encouraging momentum: ✅ 91% of respondents describe their organisation as a responsible investor.  ✅ Most have formal RI policies in place.   ✅ Most have embedded long-term risk and sustainability considerations into their manager mandates.  Yet the findings also reveal a clear implementation gap, nearly half lack an independent mechanism to assess manager delivery against sustainability mandates and only a third require climate-related risk reporting from managers. The report highlights meaningful commitment across South Africa’s market and clear opportunities to strengthen governance and build capacity. We will continue to support our signatories and the investor ecosystem in South Africa in closing these gaps and advancing #responsibleinvestment across the country. We would like to thank our partners in this work for their support and collaboration: FSCA South Africa, EPPF, Futuregrowth Asset Management, Old Mutual South Africa. We also thank Krutham for leading the research process, the survey respondents, roundtable participants and interviewees whose openness gives this report its value.
