PRI Board member Marcel Jeucken of PGGM says that while ESG issues are here to stay, there is more to learn about integrating these issues into investment strategies. Investors need to convince negotiators at the impending climate change talks in Copenhagen that strong commitments to global targets are essential. A robust carbon market, and alternative and sustainable energy are opportunities for investors looking to make a difference.
