Climate change is among the most prevalent environmental challenges of our times. It is widelyaccepted that global warming is to be limited by 2 C, preferably 1.5 C, compared to pre-industriallevels to avoid tipping points and cascade effects that could lead to an irreversible release ofcurrently stored greenhouse gases. Considering these challenges, the Paris Agreement is animportant step forward, requiring signatories to commit to reducing their greenhouse gasemissions. Investors will play a crucial role in thus mitigating climate change; indeed, differentfinancial regulations require investors to manage climate risks and to increase transparency on theclimate effects of their investments. The purpose of our proposed research project is to advance asystematic framework to sustainable investing that ultimately enables investors to acceleratetemperature alignment and other non-financial sustainability considerations. As such we willfurther the academic profession's understanding of the underlying economic mechanism and provide guidance to the investment management industry for efficiently navigating sustainable investment processes.

气候变化是当今时代最普遍的环境挑战之一。人们普遍认为，与工业化前的水平相比，全球变暖应控制在2摄氏度以内，最好是1.5摄氏度，以避免可能导致目前储存的温室气体不可逆转地释放的临界点和级联效应。考虑到这些挑战，《巴黎协定》是向前迈出的重要一步，要求签署国承诺减少温室气体排放。因此，投资者将在减缓气候变化方面发挥关键作用；事实上，不同的金融法规要求投资者管理气候风险，并提高其投资对气候影响的透明度。我们提出的研究项目的目的是推进可持续投资的系统框架，最终使投资者能够加速温度调整和其他非财务可持续性考虑。因此，我们将进一步加深学术界对潜在经济机制的理解，并为投资管理行业提供有效导航可持续投资流程的指导。
