Reuters reports that investors managing more than $34tn in assets – nearly half the world’s invested capital – are demanding governments take more urgent action on climate change. In an open letter to the “governments of the world” seen by Reuters, groups representing 477 investors stressed “the urgency of decisive action” on climate change to achieve the Paris Agreement targets. The Guardian also has the story.

Elsewhere, the Guardian reports comments from Al Gore, who is calling for a “major upgrade” to the global economy in order to tackle climate change.
