* Data not provided for 2013 and 2015.
** Data for 2016 is a Statista calculation based on a distribution of the total number of funds by category (rounded to the nearest whole number of funds).

Responsible investment is defined by EUROSIF as "any type of investment process that combines investors’ financial objectives with their concerns about Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues."
The source adds further comments about renewable energy/climate change funds: "Funds investing at least 80 percent of the assets in equities of companies engaged in new/renewable energy (biomass, wind/solar power, etc). Funds that invest in similar sectors but are not equity funds (e.g. bonds, money market or guaranteed funds) have also been classified under this sub-category".
