Proper allocation of the $2.2 trillion managed by Canada’s 11 largest pension funds is imperative for meeting international climate goals and safeguarding Canadian pensions from climate-related risks. Enter Adam, the leader behind Shift, a highly influential, well funded, national organization working to educate and empower thousands of individual pension beneficiaries to engage their pension managers to address the climate crisis. Shift created the Canadian Pension Climate Report Card, a benchmark for evaluating pension fund climate policies. Since Shift’s advocacy, eight of Canada’s largest pension funds have adopted science-based net-zero targets, with three committing at least 20% of their assets to climate solutions by 2030. This shift directs hundreds of billions of dollars toward a climate-safe future.
