Sea levels could rise by >15 inches by 2100, making the lives of 1.42 billion people vulnerable 2
The combination of climate warming and ocean acidification could slow coral growth by nearly 50% by 2050, severely reducing marine life 1
Climate change-related cost to human life is very high
90% of the world’s population breathes polluted air 3
Extreme weather events in the US over the past five years have caused $744 billion in damage 4
Opportunity in Clean Investing
Multi Decade Opportunity - Required investment of $94-175 trillion until 2050 5
Accelerating Growth - $755 billion spent on energy transition in 2021, up 27% from 2020 6
A Global Phenomenon - 80% of investment is outside of Americas, 89% of Global greenhouse gas emissions are covered by national net-zero targets 6
The demand for clean solutions spans many themes, not just one such as electric vehicles
Demand is Driving Clean Investing
Corporate Demand
355 companies have committed to go 100% renewable; these companies have over $6 trillion in revenues and have electricity demand that is greater than the UK 7

Consumer Demand
Approximately 2/3 of global population is represented by Gen Z, Millennials and Gen X 9
As the global population ages, Millennials stand to inherit $24 trillion over the next 15 years 10
The majority of Millennials and Gen Z see ESG as top or important priority when making an investment 11
Approximately 75% of Millennials believe their investment can influence climate change and 84% believe their investments can help lift people out of poverty 10
