The best indices for climate change ETFs

How do I invest in climate-friendly stocks?

The Paris Agreement on Climate Change and, before that, the Kyoto Protocol were important steps to avoid climate change. The agreement states that the global temperature should not rise by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. To achieve this aim, the use of fossil fuels has to be severely restricted and all other resources must be managed sustainably. This is also a responsibility of companies.

Index providers can evaluate how well companies are doing in this respect. Accordingly, companies with a favourable ecological footprint are given greater weights in climate-friendly indices. Usually, these indices are less strict than many other sustainable indices, in which the index providers also take social and governance criteria into account. Nevertheless, climate change indices and ETFs are in great demand as investments by major investors such as sovereign wealth funds, insurance companies or pension funds.

This investment guide on climate change will help you to select the best ETFs tracking climate-friendly indices. Currently, there are 21 indices which are tracked by ETFs.
