Climate change: Asian investors aware of risks but face obstacles in directing capital to mitigate them, survey finds

Asian investors are highly aware of the risks associated with climate change but face barriers in setting feasible targets and directing their capital to mitigate those risks, a new report found.

A total of 116 Asia-headquartered investors with a combined US$27 trillion of assets under management (AUM) have publicly recognised global warming as a source of material risks and opportunities, according to a new analysis published by the Asia Investor Group on Climate Change (AIGCC) on Thursday.
