Here’s what my superannuation fund is doing about climate change:

"As one of Australia’s largest super funds, our primary purpose is to
deliver the best possible returns to our members. To achieve this, it’s
important to consider potential risks to our investment portfolios and
do all we can to mitigate these risks.

By taking climate change into consideration in our investment decisions,
our focus is driving better outcomes for members by delivering long-term
returns to members, and a positive impact on the community.

Aware Super considers climate change to be a key risk to achieving
long-term sustainable returns. We were one of the first Australian super
funds to develop a systematic plan in 2016 that strategically responds
to the risks and opportunities associated with climate change."

Note this detailed 80-page document:

"A key highlight of the Transition Plan is that we actively contribute
to an economy wide 45% reduction in emissions by 2030."
