Welcome
to the Autumn edition of Rathbone's Charity Matters. The eyes of the world are on the
representatives of around 190 nations gathered in Glasgow for the COP26 global
climate summit. The outcomes could have huge implications for human efforts to
tackle climate change.
In this edition we have drawn together the thoughts of our colleagues on some
of the key issues currently being debated in Glasgow and their implications for
the future investment strategies of our charitable clients. A number of our
articles draw on our ‘Planet Papers’
series, which provide further analysis of these global challenges and the role
of investments in addressing them.
Ahead of the COP26 summit, we hosted a webinar ‘COP26 – what investors need to
know’. The event, chaired by Baroness Rosie Boycott, explored what makes a good
COP and what is needed from COP26 to turn the tide on climate change. We also
looked at financing a just transition – identifying the crucial role that
finance can and should play in the transition to cleaner energy. To view the
webinar, please follow this COP26withDuuzra.com
