As common pursuits of human society, subjective well-being (SWB) strongly depends on economic factors, and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) emphasize promoting equilibrium between socio-economic development and environmental conservation. Therefore, trade-offs between narrowing existing progress differences across SDGs and improving SWB might exist, which could interfere with global policy-making for human development but remain […]

We examined two possible downside-risk scenarios related to surging freight costs: Delayed rate cuts: Higher freight costs push up inflation and ECB rate cuts are not expected before the third quarter of this year. The impact on the economy and risk assets is muted. Minor economic damage: Surging freight costs contribute to higher inflation but […]
Emissions disclosures in private capital were skewed toward high-NAV, high-emitting companies. Reported emissions accounted for nearly a quarter of the estimated financed emissions in private debt and over half of the financed emissions in utilities.

From 2021 to 2022, $1.3 trillion worth of investments went toward climate-related projects. To hit the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C limit of warming, we need to increase that level of investment by a factor of five.
