How can tools, data, and climate-friendly indices help shift capital in the direction of more sustainable, greener investment? In this episode of Foreword, ISS ESG’s Yovanka Bylander, Head of North American Client Success, and Hernando Cortina, Head of Index Strategy, talk about the recently announced provisional EU climate benchmark indices from ISS ESG and German index provider, Solactive. The episode’s first half discusses historic climate trends, looks at ways fixed income and equity investments can help mitigate climate change, and describes how to define ESG standards that can help reduce uncertainty in data delivery. The second half then introduces ISS ESG’s two new climate benchmark index families, explains how ISS ESG research & data solutions help tackle violations of SDG goals before moving to the Climate Impact Assessment’s ultimate question: Does your portfolio measure up to the 2-degree scenario?
