Global investors with $32 trillion (£25.5 trillion) of assets under management this week urged governments to step up their action against climate change, or risk economic impacts at least “three of four times the scale of the 2008 global financial crisis”.
At one point I have to disagree with Jack. Compare to all other international players, India is still performing the 2°C role model. It depends on policies in the near future whether the country will remain in that category.
