Climate Change
Climate Change April 2022

In Eter we want to keep analysing the relevant information of 2022 in this case, in April 2022 there are several remarkable events.
As already happened, in March the Canadian government invested 5 billion dollars in a green bond and following its climate change policies it will require from 2024 onwards both banks and insurers to report on climate-related risks. As was already beginning in the European Union and the United States, Canada will also require these reports.
On the other hand, Deloitte is starting to invest in climate change solutions with an initial investment of 1 billion. As JPMorgan Chase & Co. has done throughout last year and the year before and in April 2022 they show that they have invested $285 billion in support of climate, community development and sustainable development projects and initiatives through 2021.
As in previous months Iberdrola signs a €1 billion green loan to finance the development of renewables across Europe and thanks to the new loan brings Iberdrola’s ESG financing to more than €41 billion.
Like other investment funds KKR is adding to renewables by launching a new Asia-focused renewable energy investment platform this month that will initially focus on the development, construction and operation of solar, wind and energy storage projects in Taiwan and Vietnam, with a view to expanding into other Asian markets.
Finally, TPG announced the final close of its climate solutions-focused strategy, TPG Rise Climate, raising $7.3 billion from institutional investors and global corporations with a focus on decarbonization, green industry and agriculture.
