The proposal was co-filed by the New York State Common Retirement Fund, CalPERS, the Church of England, and others, and was (as of last week) also being considered for potential support (see also here and here) by other major investors, including BlackRock and Vanguard. ISS and Glass Lewis also reportedly recommended that shareholders vote for the proposal.
According to Proxy Insight (see page 8), climate change proposals have demonstrated growing shareholder support, which the firm believes is attributable to their increasing sophistication, broader appeal, and precatory nature, combined with increasing willingness by major investors such as BlackRock to support such proposals and pressure companies to effect desired change. As shown in Table 1 on page 9, shareholder support for the so-called 2 degrees Celsius (2DS) campaign averaged 40.5% in 2016, compared to over 48% so far in 2017.
