The sixth annual survey of 300 investors shows they are realistic about climate targets, with most forecasting a ‘too little, too late’ scenario that cannot achieve the Paris goals. Yet there is also resilience, as most investors are still prepared to invest more in climate mitigation, adaptation and resilience strategies.
