Divestment: lowering the carbon footprint of a portfolio.
-
Direct investment: usually through green bonds or private funds into renewable energy infrastructure, energy efficiency, clean tech, regenerative agriculture, land conservation, and so forth.
-
Shareholder activism: Pressuring corporate management to make policy changes.
-
Accountability: Using various measurement / tracking / reporting and rating tools.
