(London, 17 December 2009) – Today institutional investors on the Board of the Principles
for Responsible Investment (PRI) – the UN-backed
global initiative on responsible institutional investment with signatories
representing USD 18 trillion in assets under management – sent an open letter to Heads
of State in the Group of Twenty (G20). The letter urges Heads of State to ensure a clear
recognition in any agreement coming out of the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, or from
subsequent Conferences planned for Bonn and Mexico in 2010, of the important role that capital
markets, institutional investors and private finance will play if the global community is to
deliver the needed transformation to a low–carbon and resource-efficient global economy.
