Climate change warning signs Heat waves and periods of unusually warm weather Ocean warming Arctic and Antarctic warming Glaciers melting Sea level rising Coastal flooding Increasingly random and extreme weather patterns Hurricanes Flooding Droughts Tsunamis
Climate change evidence The Earth is now at its highest temperature in the past 1,300 years1 Carbon dioxide levels are at an all-time high and are increasing 200 times faster than at any time in the last 650,000 years1 "Even if we halted all emissions, the climate would continue to warm up”2 "Greenhouse gases survive for more than 100 years in the atmosphere"2 1UN climate report, 2/3/07, 5/4/07 2Professor Martin Classen, Max Planck Institute for Meteorology
Reasons for climate change Changing world Rapidly growing population Industrialization of the developing world Increased burning of fossil fuels and deforestation Greenhouse gases increase Emissions thicken Earth’s greenhouse blanket Gases become trapped The surface temperature rises The ozone layer thins
The sources of greenhouse gas emmissions 60%-plus of greenhouse gas emissions come from CO2 75% of greenhouse gas emissions come from OECD countries Industry 14% Other energy related Power 5% 24% Waste 3% Transport Agriculture 14% 14% Land use Buildings 18% 8% Source: World Resources Institute, 2006. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organization of 30 developed countries that accept the principles of representative democracy and a free market economy.

A new world of investment opportunities? The market for low-carbon energy products could range from $500 billion to $1 trillion per year over the next five years Could surpass $2 trillion per year by 2050 Largest private equity recipients in 2006—alternative energy New markets may be created as consumers and companies look for ways to decrease energy consumption Financial services firms could benefit from increased activity in designing instruments that tap into the growing demand in new markets Capital markets could play a critical role in raising funding for new businesses in emerging technologies Source: Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, 2007
Ways to invest in climate change
Finding companies responding to climate change A clean technology company Companies that manufacture “green” products Companies that are improving their operations to lessen their negative environmental impact A commercial forestry company that has engaged in a wide-scale reforestation effort, which is helping to reduce the level of CO2 in the atmosphere An energy-efficient company A leading manufacturer of automotive interior equipment Created a new type of foam pad used in the creation of vehicle seats Decreases dependence on petroleum products Less environmental impact An environmental management / damage limitation company One of the world’s largest consultancy firms Operates across Europe, conducting major activities in the environmental sector, including projects involving water, waste, land-use planning, nature conservation, railroad construction and renewable energy Helps protect against flooding
One changing climate, one changing world DWS Climate Change Fund Presenter’s Details Date
Important risk information DWS Climate Change Fund is subject to stock market risk. Investing in foreign securities, particularly in emerging markets, presents certain unique risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuation, political and economic changes, including emerging markets and market risks. Stocks of small-cap companies involve greater risk than securities of larger, more-established companies, as they often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources and may be subject to more-erratic and more- abrupt market movements. Additionally, the fund concentrates its investments in climate-change-related companies, increasing its vulnerability to industry risks and regulatory developments. All of these factors may result in greater share price volatility. Please read the prospectus for specific details regarding the fund’s risk profile.
The DWS Investments difference Climate change asset management expertise Deutsche Asset Management manages $2.9 billion in climate change assets globally (as of November 2007) DWS Climate Change Fund's investment team is composed of a climate change investment committee, portfolio managers, global theme analysts and global sector analysts.
