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

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

change assets globally (as of November 2007)
