Abstract Text Climate policy events like the election of Donald Trump in November 2016 and the first glob-al climate strike in March 2019 have led to greater attention to climate change mainly through increased media coverage. In this thesis, I study the flow reactions of green ETFs in such times of higher investor attention to climate change. While green ETF net flows were, in gen-eral, higher than non-green flows over the last five years, I found that green ETF flows are not always higher in times of higher attention but rather that the flow reactions are more de-pendent on the nature of the climate policy event.
