Monetary & Fiscal Policy
Our View: The responsibility for tackling climate change would be best left to fiscal and regulatory policymakers, even if it comes at a larger cost than most expect.
Macro Impact
Our View: Despite the impact of climate change, we still expect global GDP to double by 2050. Meanwhile, we think investment is unlikely to rise quickly enough to help achieve net-zero.
Financial Markets
Our View: Even as ESG bond issuances picks up again, we think that the premium investors are willing to pay for these ESG bonds will remain low.
Property
Our View: Property markets have not fully priced in the risks associated with climate change. But as these risks begin to manifest, markets will eventually adjust.
Emissions & Renewables
Our View: We think India will overtake China in the 2040s as the world's biggest polluter as China reaches peak emissions and leads the renewable and electric vehicle rollout.
