That’s according to research by investment bank HSBC which has been totting up the revenues of listed companies operating in the “climate-change sector” – such as those working in the renewable energy area, making low-carbon or energy-efficient products and dealing with water and pollution management.
It found that in the past year, that sector grew by 75 percent to US$530 billion and if it continues to grow at the rate it has over the past few years, it will hit the US$27 trillion mark by 2020.
