Addressing
climate change - An action plan for DC schemes
Publications
The financial consequences of the climate crisis are already being felt and, if unchecked, its future impact will dwarf anything experienced to date. Action on climate change can no longer be delayed.
Members’ investments and future financial wellbeing are at risk. The scale and complexity of the issue
means that a tick-box exercise will not suffice. The good news now is that there is a range of practical steps
available to help address the risks – and opportunities – generated by climate change.
Here, we pull together those steps into a nine-point action plan that will enable DC trustees to:
- understand climate-related risks and opportunities and assess their financial materiality;
- manage these risks and opportunities appropriately; and
- demonstrate to your members, the regulator and others that you are taking the meaningful
action required.
