For some investments, there is no clear and universal way to measure climate impact.

With the help of Oakledge Advisors, we are teaming up with other large investors from around the world to create better, shared ways to measure climate impact.

"Our responsibility is to lead and improve these methodologies, not abdicate them," Treasurer Steiner told Responsible Investor.

This supports our work under the Climate Resilience Investment Act so Oregonians can clearly see how their retirement fund is managing climate risk.
