The world is changing. Climate change is a hot topic on political and social agendas. And the environmental technology sector is big business as companies and governments are forced to respond to a global clamour for better practice. This unilateral drive for alternative energy and a cleaner planet offers outstanding investment opportunities as pioneering companies in the environmental technology sector take up the challenge to change the world.

Allianz RCM Global EcoTrends targets the environmental technology winners in three key areas:

- eco energy
- pollution control
- clean water

Eco energy includes a variety of low-carbon emitting energy sources including wind turbines, solar cells, fuel and bio cells, as well as technologies aimed to enhance efficiency. New Energy Finance (newenergyfinance.com) estimates that total worldwide investment in all parts of the clean energy industry is currently between $500 billion and $600 billion per annum – around 10% of all total worldwide investment in energy – and this is on the increase. Pollution control includes technologies relating to recycling, clean motor vehicles, air filters, clean coal and waste storage. Clean water technology focuses on water treatment and filtering, desalination, associated infrastructure and distribution.
