Gold can contribute to global decarbonisation, says WGC

Gold can be at the forefront of supporting the global decarbonisation transition, as this yellow commodity is expected to be more resilient to global economic changes as a result of climate change, World Gold Council (WGC) CFO Terry Heymann told Mining Weekly Online. This is because gold itself has an emissions profile that is consistent with leading mainstream investment assets and should be “an interesting investor option” for investors to remain interested in how emissions can be minimised within their portfolios, he elaborated.
