How Can Shareholder Activism Aid COP26’s Success?

How Can Shareholder Activism Aid COP26’s Success?

The Start-Up Resource Blog - How Can Shareholder Activism Aid COP26's Success?

Few will be able to overlook the protests that erupted on November 2nd in the United Kingdom, which threatened to eclipse COP26. Inexperienced activist groups had been protesting against ‘greenwashing,’ angry that the public had been misled about the effectiveness of inexperienced programmes.

Rishi Sunak delivered a speech in which he pledged multibillion-dollar promises. He addressed all pertinent topics and even declared that he would put the necessary strain on the private sector. Surprisingly, he also indicated that the federal government would be more willing to fund environmentally friendly activities in developing nations. He went on to say that the United Kingdom would end up being the principal Internet Zero Aligned Monetary Center. So, what does this mean? All financial institutions in the United Kingdom will be expected to achieve net-zero emissions shortly. Formidable? Sure. Achievable? Maybe.

His speech was not well received by many, with a report from Internet Zero Asset Managers implying that Sunak’s gestures were not as they appeared. The report specifically said that a little research is all that is required to show that the numbers are false. Because the UK is still recovering from the pandemic, it’s unclear where the money to pay for climate change projects will come.

A commitment to net-zero energy

Getting to net-zero carbon emissions isn’t going to be cheap. Nonetheless, it is significantly less expensive than dealing with issues brought on by climate change.

  • As a result of the pandemic, the United Kingdom has lost £300 billion.
  • According to estimates, getting the UK to net-zero would cost £1 trillion over 20 years.
  • If the federal government does nothing, the cost of dealing with local weather change is expected to be closer to £2 trillion. For context, consider the following

Officers at COP26 emphasised the importance of taking preventive actions as soon as possible. On the other hand, what do the authorities in the United Kingdom believe in? Rishi Sunak noted the following points:

  • Carbon neutrality or net-zero is the goal of 80% of the world’s economic system.
  • The United Kingdom has pledged $100 billion to assist developing countries in becoming net-zero.
  • A further £100 million has been allocated to the Taskforce on Weather Finance Entry.
  • To hold the private sector accountable, mandatory sustainability disclosures will be required.

What the chancellor failed to mention in his address

Despite his lofty promises, Rishi Sunak left out one crucial detail from his speech: how would the UK authorities attain these targets? The financial sector isn’t exactly squeaky clean regarding pledges and ignoring loopholes, so there’s a lot of uncertainty about how things will play out. Given that so many nations are failing to meet the Paris Agreement’s targets – owing mostly to Covid-19 – one has to wonder how this will be any different.

Activist investment instils hope in the minds of investors.

While the government’s announcement that it will pressure the financial system is commendable, it is insufficient. This is where activist investing plays such an important role. It propels companies forward and mandates adherence to major ESG measures. Traders should put internal pressure on their organisations and set metrics that can be tracked and evaluated if they want to see real, long-term improvement.
