Since the launch of our ETFs on the London Stock Exchange, we've provided institutional investors with a gateway to direct capital and resources toward enterprises aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.” Circa5000 “At U Impact, we believe sustainable finance should transcend beyond merely sustainable products or ESG data, it should prioritise understanding and fulfilling the needs and values of the end investors.” Lesley Li, CEO & Co-Founder at U Impact “The world faces unprecedented impacts fuelled by climate change impacts on cities and infrastructure, causing significant disruption to life with eye-watering costs to match. These impacts include weather events, including flood (fluvial, pluvial, coastal, sea-level rise), drought, subsidence, landslides, storms, extreme heat, and more – it is a long list, with little possibility of anyone escaping the effects anywhere. Deloitte’s Global Turning Point Report estimates that inaction could cost the global economy US$178tn in just the next 50 years, with climate change costing Europe four percent of GDP by the end of the century. Consequently, adaptation action and risk management are vital for building a climate-resilient society. Moreover, managing risk and making intelligent investments are impossible without asset/region-level insights highlighting the impacts and their probability/severity. And that’s where Climate X steps in.” Climate X 63
