Good News - Green Investments are the only way forward?

Feb. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Many scorned the UN recommendation in October 2008 that Governments use the global financial crises to restructure their financial systems to support green growth industries.

However researchers at Deutsche Bank's Asset Management (DeAM) Division agree.

Deutsche Bank has published a whitepaper which presents the argument that increased spending on green infrastructure can provide enough economic stimulus to avoid a severe recession.

Mark Fulton, DeAM's global head of climate change investment research says "The current crisis is making the necessity of tackling climate change an opportunity to stimulate growth through investment opportunities."

The Deutsche Bank paper states the climate change sector is well-suited for public equity markets and particularly, private markets such as venture capital, private equity, infrastructure, and timberland.

Fulton continues "Governments have before them a historic opportunity to 'climate proof' their economies as they upgrade infrastructure as a core response to any economic downturn," and "infrastructure stimulus can be tied directly to climate-sensitive sectors such as power grids, water, buildings, and public transport, which present a vast field for the creation of new technologies and jobs."

But there are other reasons to invest in Green Investments? The sector continues to grow despite the slowing global economy. According to new figures from bank HSBC, companies in the climate-mitigation business now generate $300 billion in revenues each year.

Costa Rica Invest offers a unique opportunity to invest in Teak and Development  land in Costa Rica.

James Cahill, Managing Director of Costa Rica invest says “the recent UN recommendation, Deutsche Bank research and HSBC figures, clearly show that green investment is the way to go. Our opportunity in Costa Rica offers investors the chance to benefit from the double return of teak and development land”.

Judy Ferguson, Public Relations manager of Costa Rica Invest continues “Costa Rica is the country that practically invented eco-tourism and they plan to be the world’s first Carbon Neutral nation by 2021. Our investors can buy plots of land, zoned for development, planted with 10-14 year old teak. The plantation growth of teak will help to reduce jungle logging and the future development of the land will help support the economy of Costa Rica the world’s most eco friendly country. More importantly our investors will make a great return.”

Costa Rica Invest specialises in eco-friendly, ethical, high yield investments.  All projects are based in the best locations in Costa Rica, consisting of plots of development land with an environmentally friendly angle. Their current development in ‘Di Pacifico Dos’ combines a teak commodity investment traded in USD on plots of land zoned for development. With a double investment in locations where land prices are increasing rapidly, backed by a sound commodity that is constantly ‘growing’, is it any wonder they have so many repeat investors creating wealth naturally?
