The Green Transition Scoreboard (GTS) 2013
Ethical Markets publishes Green Transition Scoreboard for 2013
The Green Transition Scoreboard® (GTS) 2013 tracks private investments growing the green economy worldwide since 2007. Last year was an inflection point for the green transition worldwide. Technology and innovation such as in electricity generation and transport began forcing structural changes and rethinking of business models, urban design and development toward integrated systemic approaches. Many private investors are shifting to green sectors following a transition strategy that was already recognized in the 2012 report by Mercer which suggested that 40% of portfolios should be in Green Transition sectors. With over $4.1 trillion invested since 2007, investors and countries growing green sectors globally are on track to reach $10 trillion in investments by 2020. Read the press release here.
