This news is from last week, just posting as a catch up ICYMI (and are on the hunt for bargains :-D )
Sweden's central bank, Riksbank has pulled back on assets from issuers with a large climate footprint.
- Comments from Riksbank deputy governor Martin Floden (last week):
- Australia and Canada are countries that are not known for good climate work
- Greenhouse gas emissions per capita are among the highest in the world
- As a result of the new investment policy, we sold our holdings of bonds issued by Alberta in the spring.
- For the same reason, we have recently sold our holdings in bonds issued by the Australian States of Queensland and Western Australia
