Super funds lagging on direct renewables investment | @canberratimes
Australia's 30 largest super funds directly contributed $771 million of the $99 billion invested in Australian clean energy projects since 2020, roughly 0.03% of the $2.5 trillion in retirement savings managed by those funds, a new Market Forces report shows. canberratimes.com.au/story/9…

"Super funds are missing out on a critical opportunity to own the clean energy infrastructure that will power Australia's economy for generations," report author Brett Morgan told @AAPNewswire.
"Any super fund which supports the Paris Agreement's #climate goals must significantly ramp up its policy advocacy efforts to remove barriers to scaling investments in #cleanenergy."

Super funds are missing a critical opportunity to back Australia’s clean energy transition.
In fact, Canadian pension funds have more direct investments in Australian renewable energy projects than our own super funds do. How ridiculous is that?

BlackRock was the first high-profile asset manager to quit the industry's #NetZero initiative. Now, billions are being pulled.
"The fact is, @BlackRock has been losing institutional clients... Asset owners [are] unhappy with BlackRock's approach to #climate risk." – Will van de Pol, chief executive at Market Forces

#ICYMI New data reveals 3 in 5 people across Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia expect “no coal” to actually mean no coal, when it comes to bank finance.
Yet despite their own coal exclusion policies, banks like @OCBCBank, UOB, @dbsbank, @MyMaybank and @CIMBMalaysia are still pouring millions of dollars into industrial coal plants for nickel and aluminium smelters.

But most bank coal exclusion policies do not explicitly cover this type of industrial (captive) coal use, allowing companies like @HaritaGroup — which operates a staggering 910 MW of coal-fired power plants to run its nickel operations on Obi Island — to slip through the gap.

In a move that could empower Australian consumers, new laws will force companies to declare their climate risk.
“What this really is about is companies making decisions that will either make or break our chances of having a stable global warming outcome. Most importantly it should drive companies into alignment with global #climate goals,” Will van de Pol, chief executive at Market Forces told @choiceaustralia.

“It's an important step forward. Super funds will be watching closely. It’s absolutely integral that super funds take not only a keen interest, but take action off the back of these climate risk disclosures,” Market Forces' chief executive Will van de Pol told @choiceaustralia.

We need clean, renewable energy systems that support our future — not ones that destroy biodiversity, pollute our atmosphere and oceans, and sacrifice living reefs.
