3. Carbon as an investment issue In the green paper on Adaptation to climate change in Europe options for EU action published in June 2007 it states that a swift transition to a low carbon economy is the central pillar of the EUs integrated climate change and energy policy. Most countries are not on track to meet their reduction targets and carbon taxes and an extension of the EU Emissions trading Scheme are planned.
Merrill Lynch in a research paper of August 2007 commented we think a regulatory drive will impact all companies across all sectors, not just the heavy emitters.
America and Australia will have some form of carbon pricing by 2012 and a global scheme appears increasingly likely. Where carbon pricing has led other environmental factors will follow and investors need to be aware of the potential impacts of environmental factors on company valuations.
