Al Gore Urges Sovereign Wealth Funds to Focus on Sustainability

The world's sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) must take a longer-term investment view in order to realize their full potential in building a more sustainable economic system, former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore told a conference on Tuesday.

Facing multiple financial, climatic, and demographic challenges ahead, "long-term investors need to be financially incentivized to consider long-term investment approaches," said Gore, co-founder and chairman of Generation Investment Management, a partnership focused on a new approach to sustainable investing.
