European Corporate Bond Fund Q3 2022

The ‘credibility gap’ refers to the gap between targets set and actions taken to implement them and is relevant both at country and company level. This climate action webinar will focus on the approach we take to assess credibility of targets and identify transition leaders and laggards. We have developed a climate policy index and a corporate credibility framework that goes beyond just the actions taken by corporates and also accounts for policy and technology factors. 

There will be a particular focus on different use cases and questions including: 
  - How do we assess the credibility of targets at company and country level?
  - What do we do with the outcomes of the credibility assessment in our investment process, solutions, climate scenario analysis and active ownership?
  - What are the main challenges and limitations?
The credibility assessment is also critical to understanding portfolio alignment and having a positive impact on real world progress towards net zero.

Eva Cairns, Head of Sustainability Insights and Climate Strategy, hosted a session on this topic with our chief economist Jeremy Lawson, climate change analyst Nick Gaskell and Fixed Income investment director Thomas Leys.

The credibility gap: Why we can’t just take targets at face value

Recent events have caused a storm in UK markets; from the government's "mini-budget", to concerns over inflation and public debt implications, to the Bank of England stepping in and reversing its quantitative tightening. Relative calm has been restored for now, but what happens next? Experts from across abrdn give their views to UK investors.

This climate action webinar will focus on carbon analysis in investment portfolios: what the different carbon metrics are telling you and the implications for investment decisions and real world decarbonisation. There will be a particular focus on different use cases and questions related to assessing carbon emissions across different asset classes and regions, including: 

- What metric do you choose and what difference does it make to your decarbonisation journey & investment choices?
- Where are data gaps most prevalent and how do you deal with them?  
- How do we take a forward looking view on carbon beyond taking targets at face value?

Ultimately, does a focus on carbon help understand portfolio alignment and have a positive impact on real world progress towards net zero in the regions where it is most needed?

Eva Cairns, Head of Sustainability Insights and Climate Strategy, will host a session on this topic with our carbon expert Nick Gaskell and abrdn fund managers across Fixed Income, Equities and Real Estate to bring the challenges to life in day to day investing. There will be a short presentation from each asset class representative, followed by a panel and audience Q&A.
