The Investment Leaders Group’s latest publication “Understanding the climate performance of investment funds – Part 2: A universal temperature score method”, is the final in a two-part series

The Investment Leaders Group’s latest publication “Understanding the climate performance of investment funds – Part 2: A universal temperature score method”, is the final in a two-part series developed by CISL and the Investment Leaders Group published on Thursday, 29 July 2021. Both Part 1 and Part 2 can be accessed here: https://www.cisl.cam.ac.uk/events/webinar-understanding-climate-performance-investment-funds-part-2-universal-temperature-score The report aims to foster familiarity with the temperature score landscape by examining the building blocks of existing methods. It proposes a simple, transparent and scientifically robust method that translates portfolio emissions into a metric expressed in degrees Celsius, to report portfolio alignment with the Paris ambition. The method aims to answer the question: “What would be the global mean temperature increase at the end of the century if the entire economy had the same emissions intensity as this portfolio?”. Chaired by Lucy Auden (Senior Programme Manager, Investment Leaders Group), the webinar features Dr Jake Reynolds (Executive Director, Sustainable Economy) setting the scene on why and how a temperature score can help investors understand their investment impact on climate stability, followed by a presentation on the methodology by Dr Pablo Salas Bravo (Prince of Wales Global Sustainability Fellow).

WATCH this 30-second video with Nii Gaani Aki Inini - Leading Earth Man (Dave Courchene) - talking about the meaning of ‪#‎OnjisayAki‬. With the help of filmmakers Ian Mauro, a founding director of the Prairie Climate Centre, and Marcel Kreutzer from the University of Winnipeg, we created a video of Dave explaining the meaning of Onjisay Aki. Announcing Onjisay-Aki Youth Climate Summit at Turtle Lodge - September 16-19, 2016. DAVE COURCHENE (LEADING EARTH MAN) shares the meaning of Onjisay Aki. As the Original Peoples, we have lived here in our homeland for tens of thousands of years. Our Earth is changing, and so must we as People. Onjisay Aki means "a changing Earth" in our Anishinabe language. It's also the name of a journey we are on together. Our ancestors left a footprint, a trail founded on Indigenous values of respect, which can lead us all to have a healthy relationship with each other and the planet. Our children are depending on us to follow in those footsteps, walking this trail of peace. www.turtlelodge.org Join The Turtle Lodge on Facebook!

Sign the petition now to end dirty palm oil! https://act.gp/stop-deforestation Rang-tan's forest home is being destroyed to clear the way for palm oil - an ingredient used to make products for brands like Unilever, Mondelez and Nestlé. If we don't act, more precious habitats will be ruined; Indigenous Peoples could lose their homes, and Rang-tan and her species could be lost forever. Lyrics: There's a Rang-tan in my bedroom and I don't know what to do. She plays with all my teddies and keeps borrowing my shoe. She destroys all of my house plants and she keeps on shouting 'oo'. She throws away my chocolate and she howls at my shampoo. There's a Rang-tan in my bedroom and I don't want her to stay, So I told the naughty Rang-tan that she had to go away. Oh, Rang-tan in my bedroom, just before you go, Why were you in my bedroom? I really want to know. There's a human in my forest and I don't know what to do. He destroyed all of our trees for your food and your shampoo. There's a human in my forest and I don't know what to do. He took away my mother and I'm scared he'll take me, too. There are humans in my forest and I don't know what to do. They're burning it for palm oil so I thought I’d stay with you. Oh Rang-tan in my bedroom now I do know what to do. I’ll fight to save your home and I’ll stop you feeling blue. I’ll share your story far and wide so others can fight too. Oh Rang-tan in my bedroom I swear it on the stars: the future's not yet written but I’ll make sure it's ours.
