World Gold Council Resources
The World Gold Council and its members recognise that climate change imposes very substantial risks to the global economy and socio-economic development. Policy makers, industry stakeholders, asset owners, investors and wider society, are now eager for a greater understanding of these risks and their potential consequences, and how these might be mitigated or managed in future. In response to this, the WGC introduced a dedicate 'gold and climate change' programme. This programme of research and engagement is focused on gold's current and future climate impacts and the potential pathway to decarbonisation, and consideration of possible climate-related impacts on the global gold market and gold's performance as an investment asset.
