UBS Report: "Climate Change: Beyond Whether''

At the end of January, UBS Wealth Management Research issued the research report, "UBS Research Focus – Climate Change: Beyond Whether," which looks at research on climate change to offer a detailed, sector-by-sector breakdown identifying key investment opportunities and risks for the individual investor.

According to the January 31 release- “Whether or not you agree with the view that human activity is influencing the climate system is largely irrelevant to the investment thesis. What is important is that numerous policies to combat the threat of global warming are converging to influence people’s behavior, alter the risk profile of various businesses, and improve the investment outlook for others,” said Klaus Wellershoff, global head of UBS Wealth Management Research, and Kurt Reiman, head of thematic research for UBS Wealth Management Research.
According to the report’s findings, investors who seek to incorporate climate change risks and opportunities into their portfolios have options that span a wide range of asset classes, including:
Equity-related strategies include underweighting sectors, industries and companies that are highly carbon-intensive and have little potential to adapt to new technologies;
Investment in companies exposed to renewable and low-carbon energy production and energy efficiency;
Investment in theme funds focusing specifically on climate-change mitigation;
Investment in equity baskets, certificates and indices on specific investment areas such as white biotech, photovoltaics, and biofuels;
Investment in venture capital firms and private equity funds focused on environmental technology;
Socially responsible investment (SRI) funds and indices that follow one of three approaches: one that includes only the best companies, one that excludes laggards in the field, and one that focuses on the highest improvement potential;
Fixed income strategies that reduce exposure to companies that face heightened credit risk because of future policy measures and un-hedged exposure to severe weather events, such as hurricanes and floods;
Investment in renewable bonds issued by governments and project development companies to finance specific clean energy projects.

follow up on CO2 play posted January 30

CO2 TECH LTD (CTTD.PK) looks like it was more a short term stock play on the media attention of the global warming based on the anticipated international report that was due February 2nd.

I thought I was looking at the wrong stock today when I looked at the price - but no - it currently is trading on .39 on a lot less volume than previous

One of the dangers of trading a pink sheet stock is its difficult to get any info if they are non- reporting. There are exceptions and there are some reporting pink sheet stocks you can trade.
This was a relatively new player in the green space and I was personally getting 2-3 emails a day on it unsolicited, reflecting a stock play more than a long term deal.

Investors need to do their homework and remember even with complete due diligence their is still risk.

The seriousness of the global CO2 issue will bring in real company with a real solution with long term investment opportunity

“Insiders Place Bets on Global Warming Play”

By Michael Brush, Insiders Corner http://www.investorideas.com/insiderscorner/Exclusively for InvestorIdeas.com®

Ever since Al Gore’s movie “An Inconvenient Truth” hit the circuit last year – and spooky-warm weather seemed to confirm his thesis – many investors have been on the hunt for climate change stocks.

What’s more, reports of bizarre weather persist – most recently in Europe which was struck by unusually severe wind storms in January. Since bizarre weather patterns are a symptom of global warming, according to Gore, I’ll nominate Home Solutions of America (HSOA) as my Insiders Corner climate change stock.

sustainable world energy outlook report

sustainable world energy outlook report - where we are headed by 2050-

The energy [r]evolution - A sustainable World Energy Outlook is a report by European Renewable Energy Council (EREC) and Greenpeace that provides a practical blueprint for how to half global CO2 emissions, while allowing for an increase in energy consumption by 2050.

full 96 page report click here

"This publication provides stimulating analysis on future scenarios of
energy use, which focus on a range of technologies that are expected to
emerge in the coming years and decades.There is now universal
recognition of the fact that new technologies and much greater use of
some that already exist provide the most hopeful prospects for
mitigation of emissions of GHGs. It is for this reason that the
International Energy Agency, which in the past pursued an approach
based on a single time path of energy demand and supply, has now
developed alternative scenarios that incorporate future technological
changes. In the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as well, technology is included as a
crosscutting theme in recognition of the fact that an assessment of
technological options would be important both for mitigation as well as
adaptation measures for tackling climate change. "

Green Products and Services Gain Support as Issues of Global Warming and Environmental Contamination Escalate

EnvironmentStocks.com – Green Building Responds to the Growing Demand for a Clean and Healthy Environment

www.EnvironmentStocks.com an investor and industry news portal for the cleantech sector, reports on the growing movement towards ‘green’ products and services that are rapidly becoming a key component of the building industry. With global awareness improving through political support, media coverage, and overall education, the rising popularity of environmentally safe products and materials have received a boost, creating opportunities for sector participants such as International Barrier Technology Inc. (OTCBB: IBTGF; TSXV: IBH), manufacturer of environmentally friendly fire resistant building materials.

Buildings have a significant impact on our environment and our economy, which is why there is growing support for improving processes to reduce waste and costs, improve efficiency, promote better health and reduce the effect on the environment. According to the U.S. Green Building Council, buildings in the United States account for 65% of electricity consumption, 30% of greenhouse gas emissions and 30% of raw materials use. Buildings also consume 12% of potable water and produce 30% of waste output.

With global warming at the forefront of environmental discussions, reducing greenhouse gases, and improving energy efficiency have helped drive the adoption of renewable energy as a viable option of green buildings. Outside the energy focus, considerable attention in the green building arena is also being given to protecting the environment from hazardous chemicals through the use of products and materials that are non-toxic. Areas where healthier choices can be made include materials such as fire-retardants, paint, carpets and cleaners that are environmentally safe.

Research data reveals the risks of toxic chemicals with evidence continually being discovered in areas such as the Arctic where fish, polar bears and other animals are showing escalating signs of chemical contamination. Many man-made chemicals enter our water systems, soil, and air during manufacturing, use, disposal, as well as through leaks and fires.

Recent evidence shows poisoning by chemicals commonly used as flame retardants in household items such as carpets, furniture and clothes with data showing a connection between contamination levels in polar bears from the flame retardant polybrominated diphenyls (PBDEs) and the growing rate of hermaphroditism in polar bears.

Dr. Michael Huddy, President and CEO of International Barrier Technology, Inc. (OTCBB: IBTGF; TSXV: IBH) explains, “It is not only the reality of harmful chemicals entering the food chain, but it is also the perception of chemicals and the possibility that they might get into the food chain that is creating interest and frenzy about harmful fire retardant treatments. People are becoming more and more concerned about their health and the health of their environment and are making decisions based on this reality. Due to the fact that International Barrier’s products have no harmful chemicals, with all of our materials being environmentally safe without any risks of leaching out into the groundwater, we have established a valuable alternative choice for designers and builders.”

As consumers and businesses become more aware of the risks that many commonly used chemicals can pose on our environment, the level of adoption of non-toxic and environmentally friendly products has increased, rapidly playing a bigger part in today’s commercial and residential construction.

Global water shortages and the environment

We have been talking for some time on Investorideas.com and our water-stocks.com portal about the growing concern for pending water shortages on a global scale. With emerging economies and growing populations such as China, India and Vietnam experiencing water pollution due to expansion without managing environmental concerns, the world is taking notice that water sources are drying up and available water sources are contaminated.

We note previously in one of our articles relating to China -it is currently estimated that 300 million people, representing one-quarter the population, drink unsafe water". Recent news out of China reports the Three Gorges Dam in central China's Hubei Province had to open the floodgates to deal with the severe water shortages along the Yangtze River.

Recent news out of Vietnam facing future water shortages note that water flow has had declined in rivers and streams, and the Red River at Hanoi measured 1.53 meters , the lowest level in 100 years.

But its not just in emerging economies – we experienced one of the worse droughts in 2006 in decades.

I think it’s a global wake up call to deal with this before the sci-fi predictions of global water wars become a reality
