Climate

​​​​​​​​​
​​QIA is actively taking part in global climate initiatives, and aims to ensure that sustainability principles are embedded across our portfolio, not a standalone part of it.

QIA’s sovereign mand​ate demands responsible, long-term value creation. We fully believe that the industry’s overall investment goals are consistent with creating sustainable market outcomes and that green finance will shape the future of the global sovereign wealth industry. 

QIA’s Investment principles are aligned with the national vision of Qatar on sustainability.


Global climate initiatives: 

​QIA is a founding member of the One Planet Sovereign Wealth Fund​ Working Group and in 2018 helped produce a framework to integrate climate change analysis into investment decisions – the first of its kind. 

We are working with the world’s biggest sovereign wealth funds to create a clearer picture of how companies ESG factors. Our work supports the development of meaningful internationally consistent environmental disclosure. 

In November 2020, QIA, in alignment with the principles of the One Planet Sovereign Wealth Fund Framework​, pledged its support for the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). TCFD is a global standard for climate-related financial risk reporting.

Sustainable investment activity 

QIA is actively making investments to help build the transition to a sustainable future. 

Our investment strategy is based on our responsibility to generate sustainable returns for future generations, so our approach aims to prioritize health and well-being for people and planet. 

In January 2020, QIA announced that it would not longer deploy new investment in hydrocarbons in order to help build a more environmentally friendly future for the next generation. 

Our sustainable investments span sectors from renewable energy and energy storage, to environmentally-friendly real estate and electric vehicles. 

​We will continue to direct our capital to sustainable business models spread across the globe. ​
