Climate Transition Mismatch

Company membership in trade associations has emerged as a critical area of concern, particularly when corporate management teams claim to be supportive of lowering their carbon footprint but are members of associations that appear to be at odds with the goals set out in the Paris Agreement. A new report from Planet Tracker urges corporations to reassess their affiliations with industry associations that diverge from their stated environmental objectives.

Exposing Water Risk

In a recent analysis of 3,900 documents, transcripts and filings from apparel-related companies using Natural Language Processing (NLP), Planet Tracker examined how the management teams of 29 major apparel brands perceive water-related risks.
An overwhelming 90% of the examined documents failed to mention water-related risks, with many companies barely mentioning water-related risk at all, highlighting a significant gap in disclosure practices.

Biodiversity risk – further delays

Blog Thought Leadership Financial Risk & Reward, Policy, Transparency & Traceability Multi-Asset BLOG0096

The persistent delay in addressing the clear downward trend in biodiversity loss is both puzzling and disappointing. However, there are bright spots. The World Economic Forum (WEF) 19th Global Risks Report shows that environmental issues are on the risk radar of academics, businesses, governments, the international community and civil society. Although there is a belief that regulation, particularly global treaties and agreements, are the solution to both biodiversity loss/ecosystem collapse and halting a critical change to Earth systems, this year we will be able to observe whether this plays out. 2024 will see two UN COPs, one on biodiversity (COP16) an another on climate (COP29). Will they demonstrate that biodiversity loss & ecosystem collapse is a near term risk that urgently needs addressing?

A new investigation by Planet Tracker reveals that profits in the industrial Indonesian tuna sector will all but disappear due to climate change and unsustainable practices. Implementing a series of nine nature-positive measures that reduce bycatch and overexploitation while improving traceability and transparency will more than offset the negative impact of climate change on the industry’s profits.

A new investigation by Planet Tracker reveals that profits in the industrial Indonesian tuna sector will all but disappear due to climate change and unsustainable practices unless companies adopt nine nature-positive measures now. Sustainability is poor within the industrial fleets that catch tuna in Indonesia, the world’s largest producer. Climate change will make things worse: the industry will catch an estimated 25% to 31% less tuna by 2050.
