BlackRock has secured more than US$250 million in commitments from a consortium of global institutional investors, governments and philanthropies for the Climate Finance Partnership (CFP), a flagship blended finance vehicle focused on investing in climate infrastructure across emerging markets in order to accelerate the global transition to a low carbon economy. Conceived at the One Planet Summit in September 2018 under the leadership of French President Emmanuel Macron, CFP showcases the potential for the public, philanthropic and private sectors to work together to mobilize significant investment into climate infrastructure that can deliver positive environmental and social impact and allow for attractive risk-adjusted returns.

Dai-ichi Life Holdings Inc. plans to cut greenhouse gases emitted by companies it holds shares and bonds in by 25 percent by 2025 from the level recorded at the end of fiscal 2019, the insurer told The Asahi Shimbun.
It is rare for a leading life insurance company to set a short-term numerical target for measures against global warming in its asset management plan.
“It’s meaningless for businesses to operate on the planet if it becomes uninhabitable due to extreme weather,” Dai-ichi Life Holdings President Seiji Inagaki said in an interview with The Asahi Shimbun. “Life insurance companies can’t survive in such an environment, either.”
