: FTSE Group, the global index provider and GMB Publishing today announce the launch of the first book edited by FTSE’s Responsible Investment Director – Will Oulton. The book entitled ‘Investment Opportunities for a Low Carbon World’ captures the key issues for global investors when looking at increasingly relevant environmental market investment opportunities.
Oulton and fellow contributors, including leading figures in the responsible investment industry, discuss the growth of environmental technologies and services, many of which are instrumental in mitigating climate change risks. The book also discusses the ability of clean technology companies to provide investors with an exciting and sustainable long term investment opportunity. Drawing on the expertise of leading industry commentators from the clean technology, NGO and finance sectors, the book provides an insight to potential investors and their professional advisers about the technologies, their investment potential, and the means to invest in them.
At a time when governments across the globe are making significant environmental investment pledges in stimulus packages to support global emissions targets, there is a need to inform investors on the benefits of allocating capital to low carbon technology sectors. The book also provides an invaluable guide for companies, academics, students, government agencies and those interested in the confluence between clean technology and finance.
Editor Will Oulton said of the launch “FTSE interacts with investors around the world on an ongoing basis and has noticed an increasing interest in environmental markets. This book aims to meet that demand and act as a comprehensive resource for those investors interested in this investment space”.
