Defensive sectors such as consumer staples, healthcare and utilities made the only gains at the expense of financials and small caps in particular. The Company NAV was down 6.6% over the month compared with the MSCI World Index, which lost 3.3%, and the Impax ET50 which rose 0.3% over the same period. In alternative energy and energy efficiency, the German cabinet agreed to amend the Renewable Energy Act (EEG) and cut carbon emissions by 40% by 2020 compared to 1990 levels. The proposals include a goal of 25-30% power generation from renewables by 2020. Speculation earlier in the month that German solar feed-in tariffs would fall 8% in 2009 impacted upon solar names; however, stocks recovered on news that the feed-in tariff reduction will be 7% in 2010 and 8% from 2011, compared to the current annual decline rate of 5%. Elsewhere, the environment was a key battleground in the Australian elections, culminating in new Prime Minister Kevin Rudd ratifying the Kyoto Protocol and outlining proposals for 20% renewable power generation by 2020. In water treatment and pollution control, the US Congress overrode the President's veto of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA). Both chambers voted to authorise $23.2bn for projects such as restoration and hurricane prevention in coastal areas, replacement of locks, dredging and other waterway projects. This was the first time that a presidential veto has been overridden, and represented a significant win for protection of US waterways. In Europe, the Spanish parliament approved wide-reaching legislation to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce air pollution in an attempt to improve some of the worst air quality standards in the EU. The new Air Quality and Atmospheric Protection law will reform vehicle purchase taxes and impose new air quality obligations on local authorities. In waste technologies and resource management, two major studies were published by the European Commission as part of a revision of the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive proposed for 2008. Recommendations include ways to increase cost-effectiveness and efficiency, a proposal to harmonise requirements for take-back systems to improve the law's implementation across the EU, and stricter targets for high-impact products such as fridges containing CFCs and mercury-based liquid crystal display monitors. Stocks that contributed to the decline in the Company NAV included environmental consultancies Grontmij (Netherlands) and RPS (UK), due to their perceived exposure to the construction sector, and Camco, (carbon trading, UK), due to uncertainty in the carbon markets after competitor Ecosecurities announced delays to carbon credits caused by the UN certification process. On the upside Active Power (flywheels, US) gained 20% following new orders and industry recognition, and Clean Harbors (hazardous waste, US) increased by 9% following record sales in Q3.
