Future Fundamentals

Why is the the ocean so important to the long-term performance of the global economy? And what investment opportunities might emerge as the sustainable blue economy develops? These are among the questions discussed in the first of four episodes dedicated to Investing in the Blue Economy.

In our first episode, our special guest is Karen Sack, executive director of the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance.  Karen joins Markus Müller, our Chief Investment Officer for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing. Together they explore the importance of putting nature on the balance sheet and map out key areas for consideration, such as metrics, regulation, litigation and corporate value chains.

Markus and Philipp look at the advantages of cities, their potential vulnerabilities and the role of technology and finance in what is likely to be an accelerated process of change. In the past, cities have helped drive economic growth, innovation and more efficient access to human needs – but can they continue to do so?

In our latest Future Fundamentals podcast, the Private Bank’s ESG CIO Markus Müller and Anna Katharina Meyer, Club of Rome member and FindingSustainia co-founder, look at the complex issues around measuring sustainability – in other words, how we assess the real impact of corporate, government and individual actions on the natural world around us. 

Markus and Anna Katharina discuss why measurement is important for environmental initiatives, what makes it difficult, and how we can improve it. They consider what economists and investors really want to see in sustainability measurement, and why they are increasingly confident that it can prove a reliable and useful tool in the sustainable transformation.

Claire Coustar of Deutsche Bank’s Investment Bank joins Markus Müller, Chief Investment Officer ESG & Global Head Chief Investment Office at Deutsche Bank's Private Bank, to discuss the recent evolution of the sovereign carbon credits market and how it will help us value and protect natural assets. 

They argue that the UNFCCC REDD+ framework now offers a scalable and transparent way to deploy capital to reduce or reverse de-forestation. It could also pave the way for more “blue carbon” financing, another key component of global and national strategies to mitigate climate change.

In this podcast, Professor Constantin Coussios, Director of the Oxford Institute of Biomedical Engineering and a serial medical device entrepreneur, discusses the implications for patients and investors with Christian Nolting, Chief Investment Officer of Deutsche Bank’s International Private Bank.
