The biggest climate risk is not seeing the opportunities

Global warming. Sea levels rising. Species disappearing.

Climate change is the biggest challenge we’ve ever faced. But with great challenge comes great opportunity.

Actually, the biggest climate risk is not seeing the opportunities: the new ideas, the business models based on net-zero carbon emissions, the companies innovating to sustain and repair the planet. At Robeco, we see the search for sustainable solutions as a driver of change and innovation.

Smart farming: we must become more efficient with the planet's resources. Digitalization enables smart farming to use data and technology to manage energy, water, seeding, and fertilizers more efficiently – and effectively.

Circular economy: fighting climate change includes reducing waste. A circular economy is one in which we rethink, redesign, recycle and reuse everything we produce, from a single-use straw to an entire building.

Global electrification: Cutting ties with our traditional energy sources can help the climate recover. But the increased electrification of our society requires an electrical grid five times the size of our current one, including new energy sources and storage.

Robeco's new climate investment solutions take advantage of these innovations and more. They are also aligned with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and take climate risk into account throughout the investment process. We also offer a RobecoSAM thematic investing range that incorporates sustainability and climate-related solutions. As leaders in sustainable investing, Robeco is contributing to the targets of the Paris Agreement while engaging with investee companies to do the same.

It’s our responsibility to act now: to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising those of generations to come.
Climate risk is real. But if we open our eyes to the opportunities that change offers, we can still turn the tide.
