Every year, Earth Day reminds us of the significance of keeping our planet clean and demonstrates support for environmental protection. The theme of Earth Day this year is, “Invest in our Planet,” which focuses on making the climate greener and taking proactive measures to protect Mother Earth, given that global warming is on the rise.
In order to tap this trend, many investors are looking to eliminate carbon exposure from their portfolios and invest in cleaner alternatives on Earth Day. For them, Invesco MSCI Sustainable Future ETF (ERTH - Free Report) , Etho Climate Leadership US ETF (ETHO - Free Report) , iShares Global Clean Energy ETF (ICLN - Free Report) , Global X CleanTech ETF (CTEC - Free Report) and ALPS Clean Energy ETF (ACES - Free Report) could make for excellent portfolios for the long term.
Countries across the globe are scaling their renewable energy investments. The United States has been at the forefront of making the climate clean with President Joe Biden’s pledge to go greener. The President has vowed to build out a "modern and sustainable infrastructure" to reach a carbon-free energy sector in the United States by 2035. He plans to pump $2 trillion into green energy over four years to build solar panels, charging stations and more, and aims for net-zero emissions by 2050 (read: Alternative Energy ETFs Sizzling With Opportunities: Here's Why).
The $2 trillion infrastructure plan also includes spending up to $174 billion to encourage Americans to switch to cars and trucks that run on electricity, not gasoline or diesel. Additionally, Biden recently proposed a big boost to the global climate fight by injecting more than $11 billion into efforts to help other countries address global warming.
Other countries are also making progress to protect the Earth by deep carbon cuts. China aims to go carbon neutral by 2060, while the United Kingdom has set the world’s most ambitious climate change target of cutting emissions by 78% by 2035 from the 1990 levels. The European Union pledged to cut carbon emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared with the 1990 levels. Further, a number of firms across the globe have been investing heavily in clean-tech business.
