SEB’s The Green Bond Report: War exposes global energy crisis

The war in Ukraine has disrupted global energy markets and exposed a structural energy crisis that has been underway for decades. In the latest edition of The Green Bond report, SEB’s experts traces the roots of the structural energy crisis and continue to explore the war’s impact on the climate – both in terms of negative short-term consequences such as an increase in the burning of fossil fuel, and long-term effects such as a boom in renewable energy investments. We also provide an update on sustainable financing, showing where pockets of strength have been found in a difficult year, and explore how sustainability-oriented investors may start adapting their investment strategies to focus more on measurable impact rather than on ESG ratings.
