July-August issue of Environmental Finance out now

London, 19 July: The latest issue of Environmental Finance is now available, including a special section on investing in the water sector.

According to Environmental Finance research, the last six months have seen no fewer than 13 new investment vehicles launched, or announced, to give investors exposure to the water sector. The issue examines the drivers behind growing investor interest in water – and looks at how private equity investors are assessing the sector.

Elsewhere in the issue, former Shell Transport and Trading chairman Ron Oxburgh gives a spirited defense of biofuels, and we interview Kevin Walsh, the man leading General Electric's planned $4 billion renewable energy investment charge.

Other features in the issue include:

  • How the financing could be raised to turn carbon capture and storage from great white hope to business-as-usual;

  • A report on the continuing growth of the carbon funds market;

  • Why the EU Emissions Trading Scheme should be split in two;

  • What the US could learn from the Clean Development Mechanism about designing a carbon offsets programme; and

  • Analysis of Australia's attempts to ameliorate the effects of drought by using a water trading scheme.

    The issue also includes news, market data and people moves. To subscribe, click here or call Alice Herzog on +44 207 251 9151
