Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC)
EU Transparency Register
962717910722-61 First registered on 28 Feb 2013
Goals / Remit
The Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) is a forum for collaboration on climate change for European investors. It provides investors with a collaborative platform to encourage public policies, investment practices, and corporate behaviour that address long-term risks and opportunities associated with climate change.
IIGCC currently has over 100 members, including some of the largest pension funds and asset managers in Europe, representing around €10 trillion in assets.
IIGCC pursues its mission through two strategic objectives:
• To change market signals by encouraging the adoption of strong and credible public policy solutions that ensure an orderly and efficient move to a low carbon economy as well as measures for adaptation.
• To inform investment practices to preserve and enhance long-term investment values.Main EU files targeted
IIGCC’s policy priorities for the EU on climate change and energy policy are set out in our public policy paper: IIGCC Statement on EU climate change and energy priorities for 2015 which is available here: http://bit.ly/1Fxs3uS
IIGCC asks EU policymakers to consider the following in the next period:
1. Examine how the 2030 framework would best support President Juncker’s proposed €300 billion public-private investment programme.
2. Ensure that the EU ETS is not only an instrument to reduce emissions but is also able to support a strong carbon price, given its role as the cornerstone of European decarbonisation.
3. Bring forward the introduction of the Market Stability Reserve to 2017 to strengthen the carbon price earlier and provide greater certainty to investors.
4. Place the backloaded allowances straight into the reserve rather than returning them to the market.
5. Set out the regulatory framework and policy support mechanisms which will deliver investment necessary to achieve the 27% energy efficiency target.
6. Detail how the current 10% interconnection target and the 15% target by 2030 will be met within the context of infrastructure investment and integration of the European energy market.Address
