Interfaith Center On Corporate Responsibility

HomeClimate change has long been a concern for responsible investors, but has recently gained more widespread prominence due to the increasingly dire IPCC reports. The threats implied by this new data cannot be overstated, and the longer we wait to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the more difficult and expensive the task will become. Investors’ interest in climate change stems not only from their fiduciary concerns regarding the real and immedi­ate risk climate changes poses to their own institutional assets, but from their con­cerns about its broader and longer term ramifications on global economic stability. For faith-consistent investors, these concerns take on a distinctly human dimension as they consider the justice implications for vulnerable communities who, due to their resource constraints, will disproportionately bear the impacts of climate change.
