Investor Survey: Strong demand for green investment, yet policy uncertainty remains key barrier

Investor appetite for low carbon and green investment opportunities is strong but regulatory uncertainty threatens future growth, according to a new survey of institutional investors released today by the Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC).

Set out in a new report – Scaling Up – institutional investors have provided new insights into how they are approaching low carbon and green investment opportunities and where they are active by market and asset class.

“Despite recent political upheavals, investors in Australia and New Zealand are focused on finding low carbon opportunities and getting deals done”, said Emma Herd, Chief Executive Officer of the Investor Group on Climate Change.
