Climate change: Only 11 per cent of listed firms globally on track to achieve key carbon-emissions goal, MSCI says

Listed companies are polluting the atmosphere at a rate that would warm the planet by 2.9 degrees Celsius by 2050, according to index compiler MSCI.

Only 11 per cent of them are on track to ratchet their carbon emissions down to a level that would limit human-induced temperature increases to the crucial goal of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
