Abstract

Investments in fossil fuels are not sustainable—today’s Carbon Bubble will definitely burst. Looking for a responsible and environmentally friendly investment, more and more investors recognize the portfolio risks associated with participations in oil, gas and coal firms and redirect their investments. This process will have an impact on all asset classes—from bank deposits, bonds, equities or private equity to infrastructure and real assets. In addition, a new green industrial revolution is now under way, characterised by ever increasing internet-enabled resource efficiency, competitiveness of renewable energy and electric cars with vehicle to grid charging capabilities. Investments focusing on resource efficiency and renewable energies will gain in importance increasingly.
