Enabling a net zero world

Climate change driven by rising greenhouse gas emissions is impacting every sector and region across the globe today – floods, droughts and extreme weather are becoming more severe and frequent. Climate change is therefore an urgent issue that needs significant finance flows into low carbon solutions. This creates compelling opportunities for industry, enterprise and investors to be part of the solution while creating alpha.

At Aberdeen Investments, we are committed to helping tackle climate change – for our clients, shareholders and future generations. We believe that investing in credible transition leaders and climate solutions that can transform our world provides us with a clear opportunity to deliver strong outcomes for our clients, and help the world on its path to net-zero carbon emissions. We incorporate the risks and opportunities related to different climate scenarios into our thinking and influence through our active engagement and voting approach.
