Ecocrops Internationa asked how enviromentally friendly are the Chinese?




China’s energy policy and its effect on the environment is big news now and with recent events involving Africa have raised the World’s attention.

EcoCrops International takes great pride in the sustainability of our ethical green investments, which why we find the latest news of Egypt’s plan to build the World’s largest coal-fired power disturbing.

China had maintained in its South-South climate agreement to ensure clean energy projects where their number one priority.  However it would appear that China is more interested in promoting its coal industry and hydro power projects that are a serious risk to the environments.

There is some god news with Chinese backing, Egypt is developing the World’s largest Solar Farm.

What is concerning for Eco Crops International and will be for any person that takes looking after environment seriously, is that a much of the loans provided by the Export-Import Bank of China, and the China Development Bank, went primarily to coal, hydropower, and the oil industry between 2000 and 2016.

In 2009 China proposed an initiative to build over 100 clean energy projects which would help of course, but leaves many experts saying that China could do a lot more.

Makoma Lekalakala, director of the non-governmental organisation Earth life Africa in Johannesburg, said “We hope that at this year’s FOCAC there will be a greater focus on Chinese investment in clean energy in Africa.”

Is something bad going to happen to the Stock Market

Jeffrey Gundlach the famed American inventor and business mogul believes that the global stock market is signalling 'something bad' is happening. Why would anyone listen? He has the pedigree and experience to make people sit up and listen. Gundlach was formerly the head of the $9.3 billion TCW Total Return Bond Fund, where he finished in the top 2% of all funds invested in intermediate-term bonds for the 10 years that ended prior to his departure. He was fired by TCW in 2009. In 2009, shortly after his firing from TCW, Gundlach founded Doubleline, along with Philip Barach and 14 other members of Gundlach's senior staff from TCW.  Barach was Gundlach's co-manager of the $12 Billion TCW Total Return bond fund.  In a February 2011 cover story, Barron's called him the "King of Bonds." Jeffrey Gundlach is of the opinion that the U.S. stock market will not be able to continue to diverge from global equity markets in the long-term. "I said [before...

A report from McKinsey & Co and Credit Suisse has shown a growing interest in investments that have a positive benefit for the environment.

The report called From Niche to Mainstream: The Building of an Institutional Asset Class showed the rise in number of investors seeking for investments that are sustainable commodities, protect the environment and are lower carbon emissions. The report concludes that over the next five years, the investment opportunity for environmental investments will between $200 billion to $400 billion. These figures represent a major uptick from the current annual private investment of around $10 billion. However, the higher figures that are predicted still fall well short of the amount of investment needed every year in order to protect global ecosystems. This amount is estimated to sit somewhere around the $300 billion mark. High yields are driving this interest, more than the green benefits and the ‘feel-good’ factor of these investments. The report reported that investors are also drawn by the fact that the yields from these natural resources – such as  Forestry and Forestry Prod...
